How are today's 'hearts and minds' programs linked to a late-19th
century definition of human factors as people's moral and mental
deficits? What do Heinrich's 'unsafe acts' from the 1930's have in
common with the Swiss cheese model of the early 1990's? Why was the
reinvention of human factors in the 1940's such an important event
in the development of safety thinking? What makes many of our
current systems so complex and impervious to Tayloristic safety
interventions? 'Foundations of Safety Science' covers the origins
of major schools of safety thinking, and traces the heritage and
interlinkages of the ideas that make up safety science today.
Features Offers a comprehensive overview of the theoretical
foundations of safety science Provides balanced treatment of
approaches since the early 20th century, showing interlinkages and
cross-connections Includes an overview and key points at the
beginning of each chapter and study questions at the end to support
teaching use Uses an accessible style, using technical language
where necessary Concentrates on the philosophical and historical
traditions and assumptions that underlie all safety approaches
