Accident prevention is a common thread throughout every workplace, yet keeping employee safety and health knowledge current is a continual challenge for all employers. Ergonomics and human factors knowledge must be included in, or be a part, of the safety management as a cross-disciplinary area concerned with the understanding of actual work situations and potential variables ensuring the safety, health, and wellbeing of all collaborators. The main goal of this new book is to present theories and describe practices to foster a safe work and working environment.
