Description
Effective Management of Safety in Design and Operations This book explores how to mitigate safety failures in products and systems, drawing on real-world experience and historical failures. It explains how corporate culture, engineering safety, personnel selection, and safety auditing can help maintain safety in organizations. The authors argue that a cohesive approach to engineering, design, and health and safety processes is essential for creating a better working environment and reducing waste. By tracking safety from the initial design stage to a product's entire service life, this book shows how safety affects and is affected by all those who interact with a product or system. It challenges silo thinking among safety-related disciplines and demonstrates how a more integrated approach can lead to improved safety management. The book provides a practical strategy for organizations to identify and address operational failures, and to design out safety issues in future iterations.
