Description

Workplace safety and health (WSH) is an important area of any business or organisation. A serious accident or ill health incident can cause much suffering and distress to workers, co-workers, and the victims' family and friends. In addition, the organisations involved in the WSH incident will have to manage negative consequences including increase in insurance premium, lost time and delays, morale issues, union and community protests, and reputation losses. On the other hand, good WSH can lead to organisational excellence. This book takes a systems-thinking approach to allow readers to understand how WSH is an integral part of any organisation. The different chapters are strung together by an overarching model of incident causation and underpinning models are presented to allow a strong conceptual foundation. Practical WSH knowledge are also discussed in relevant chapters to ensure that beginners have an introduction to the fundamentals of WSH hazards and controls. Besides the strong emphasis on conceptual framework, readers will also be exposed to the details of a WSH management system and practical WSH processes, hazards and controls. A series of online quizzes are available to readers to help them to reinforce the concepts of each chapter. Undergraduates and post-graduates will benefit from the systematic introduction to the foundations of WSH management. Practitioners will strengthen their conceptual understanding and widen their perspective by re-visiting the foundations of WSH management through a systems-thinking lens.Chapter Quizzes: Introduction Incident Causation Incident Investigation Incident Investigation Risk Management Risk Management WSH Management System WSH Management System Safety Culture Design for Safety WSH Legislations Sample Chapter(s) Chapter 1: Introduction Request Inspection Copy Contents: Overview of Workplace Safety and Health Management Workplace Safety and Health Management Legislations and Standards Incident Causation Risk Assessment Design for Safety Safety and Health Management System Safety Culture and Leadership Incident Investigation Improving Workplace Safety and Health Management Change Management Workplace Safety and Health Management Hazards and Controls Accident Case Studies Readership: Professionals and students (undergraduate and above) concerned with or studying workplace safety and the management of worker and overall workplace health.
