Description

Random Noise: Measuring Your Company's Safety Performance

This book explores how the last two decades have reshaped the safety management landscape, mirroring the impact of neoliberal policies on the economy. The authors examine how market-driven principles can heighten the risk of safety misfortunes and how the pursuit of safety through metrics and surveillance can lead to 'manufactured insecurity.'

The book delves into the concept of 'synoptic legibility' in safety management, highlighting how simplifying safety metrics can distort their integrity and harm individuals. It draws parallels with historical blunders, such as England's window tax, to illustrate the precarious nature of equating simplified metrics with safety achievements.
