The origin of this book is the compelling evidence that a high
proportion of machinery-related deaths and injuries are
attributable to genuine and serious risks originating within
machine design and construction. This trend continues despite
significant legal obligations, notably the European regulatory
regime giving effect to the Machinery Directive (among others), and
a substantial body of specialist knowledge originating in the
disciplines of human factors and safety engineering. Grounded in
empirical research with machinery manufacturers, this book aims to
elucidate the factors and processes shaping firms' performance for
machinery safety, and considers their compatibility with legal
obligations. Through a unique blending of rich empirical data
coupled with safety, human factors, socio-legal and learning
scholarship, the book provides both a nuanced account of firms'
performance for machinery safety, and makes conceptual and
theoretical contributions to understanding and explaining their
performance. Specifically, the book elucidates the role of
knowledge and motivational factors - and how these are constituted
- in shaping firms' performance. It reveals the multiple state and
non-state influences that create plural responses among
manufacturing firms, which typically operate in supply chains and
networks, and often globally. These insights provide the
foundations to enhance regulatory design, and the book's conclusion
recommends some innovative directions for regulatory interventions
to sustain the safe design and construction of machinery.
