Workplace accidents and errors cost organizations hundreds of
billions of dollars each year, and the injured workers and their
families endure considerable financial and emotional suffering.
It's obvious that increasing employee health and safety pays. The
accumulating evidence shows that investing in occupational health
and safety results in improved financial and social responsibility
performance. There are extensive country differences and wide
occupational differences in the incidence of accidents and errors.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that every
year there are 2.2 million fatal and 270 million non-fatal
accidents or occupational diseases worldwide. Occupational Health
and Safety looks at the research into what causes accidents and
errors in the workplace. In line with other titles in the series,
Occupational Health and Safety emphasizes the psychological and
behavioral aspects of risk in organizations. It highlights how
organizations differ in their health and safety performance, with
case studies throughout and best practices. Key elements focus on:
employee selection and training, fostering employee understanding,
participation and engagement in health and safety matters,
developing a health and safety culture at organizational and
group/work unit levels, communicating and reinforcing safe
workplace practices and bench-marking one's organization against
the industry leaders. The contributors to this volume come from
various countries, reflecting unique interest and knowledge in
particular areas.
