Description
Public Safety and Risk Assessment: Improving Decision Making This book offers a fresh perspective on public safety, encouraging a more reflective and multidisciplinary approach to managing risk. The authors examine the origins of the problem, critically evaluating the tools used by safety assessors and their underlying assumptions. They also explore the differences between public life and industry, where the approaches largely originated. The authors analyze legal requirements, stakeholder attitudes, and recent research on risk perception and decision making, providing a framework for managing public safety more effectively. By looking critically at the current state of public safety, the book aims to promote a more balanced approach that saves lives while preserving public life. With its analysis of risk and safety culture, this book is a valuable resource for those seeking to improve decision making in public safety contexts.
