Reviews

Pat Burling ... This is a conscientious and provocative book demanding close study and reflection. It should inspire the new generation of safety professionals and encourage researchers in safety and risk management and organisational change. OS&H - Occupational Safety & Health E. Petridou, University of Athens ...considers important general issues and presents several useful conceptual models... the Editors have added an important element of coherence through their inter-chapter narrative... very useful for safety consultants and senior managers...provides an elegant presentation of theoretical and operational issues.
