Accident prevention is a common thread throughout every aspect of
our society. However, even with the most current technological
developments, keeping people safe and healthy, both at workplaces
and at other daily activities, is still a continual challenge. When
it comes to work environments, ergonomics and human factors
knowledge can play an important role and, therefore, must be
included in, or be a part of, the safety management as a
cross-disciplinary area concerned with the understanding of actual
work situations and potential variables. This multidisciplinary
approach will ultimately ensure the safety, health, and well-being
of all collaborators. The main goal of this book is to present
theories and models, and to describe practices to foster and
promote safer work and working environments. This book offers: *
Examples of field practices that can be reproduced in other
scenarios * Applications of new methods for risk assessment *
Methods on how to apply and integrate human factors and ergonomics
in accident prevention and safety management * Coverage of human
factors and ergonomics in safety culture * New methods for accident
analysis This book is a compilation of contributions from invited
authors organized in three main topics from eleven countries and is
intended to cover specific aspects of safety and human factors
management ranging from case studies to the development of
theoretical models. Hopefully, the works presented in the book can
be an inspiration for translating research into useful actions and,
ultimately, making a relevant and tangible contribution to the
safety of our daily and work settings.
