Erik Hollnagel: Decremental and Incremental Safety Cultures, Gebunden

Klappentext

Safety is a concept as complex as it is crucial. In this new book, Erik Hollnagel reimagines how we approach, understand, and manage safety in modern contexts. It challenges traditional perspectives while weaving together historical insights, cultural analysis, and practical guidance to offer a richer understanding of what it means to work and live safely.

Decremental and Incremental Safety Cultures: Safety-I and Safety-II Revisited goes beyond identifying and analyzing safety issues to offer practicable strategies that balance protection and productivity. From the ambivalence of safety and the dialectics of outcomes to the seven stages of safety thinking, each chapter highlights a key aspect of safety practices. It introduces new frameworks including the deconstruction of everyday work and safety solutionism, offering readers the tools to critically assess their own safety measures and form better outcomes. Written in clear, jargon-free language, the book ensures that these insights are accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experience and readers will develop a decremental and incremental safety.

This book is an ideal read for professionals in the fields of occupational health and safety, human factors and risk management. If you have read Safety-I and Safety-II (CRC Press, 9781472423085) by the same author, this book is a must-have to understand the next phase of the Safety-I and Safety-II concepts.
