Public safety, as well as the safety of products and services, is
of paramount importance and interest to individuals, organisations
and society. Safety successes are achieved every second, but we
take them for granted and we do not appreciate the challenges
professionals meet to make the world as safe as possible. Safety
failures are less frequent but become focal points of stakeholders
and the public with a tendency to blame and not comprehend the
context and the hard decisions professionals have to make when
balancing safety with competing goals. This edited book includes
case studies from industry practitioners exactly as they experience
them without relying on the understanding of researchers who
conduct studies and try to map the overall situation per case based
on multiple interviews, observations and questionnaires. Included
are case studies from the aviation, construction, oil and gas,
telecommunications, transportation, health and public safety
industries. They are stories told by frontline practitioners who
work to keep the public safe. In each chapter, the author, based on
his/her professional experience, shares two real cases, one
"success" and one "failure", explaining the background and
approach, and critically reflecting why his/her initiatives and
activities worked or didn't work. They are descriptive of the case,
context and tools, techniques, methods and approaches followed and
include the valuable safety lesson learned. This book is a forum
for professionals to express and share with others their knowledge
and experience usually found implicitly or hidden under formal and
informal practices.
