This book, written by two authors with extensive experience of lecturing on the 'Human Aspects of Safety' on training courses for safety practitioners, considers major psychological and organizational issues within the framework of health and safety at work and the management of risk, extending applied knowledge from psychology and related disciplines in new directions. The book reflects developing approaches to managing risk as it applies to individuals, teams and organizations in the workplace. Specifically it aims to improve understanding of ways in which human behaviour both influences, and can be shaped by, effective management of safety and risk in the workplace.For the safety and risk professional and student alike there are straightforward introductions to, and explorations of, the relevant aspects of behavioural science, supported by numerous examples. For those who wish to read further around the subject, this clear exposition of material is supplemented by references and sources of further reading. The basic appeal of the book lies in the coverage of material and logical progression through the various topics.The emphasis throughout is on the use of applied and theoretical approaches in explaining safety and risk applications. The book is as relevant to a practitioner as it is to a student audience, and contains guidance and advice relevant to practice, enforcement, teaching, training, research, consultancy and support services. Human Safety and Risk Management makes human aspects of safety and risk available to those who do not necessarily have a behavioural science background, including the informed lay reader.

Reflecting a decade’s worth of changes, Human Safety and Risk Management, Second Edition contains new chapters addressing safety culture and models of risk as well as an extensive re-working of the material from the earlier edition. Examining a wide range of approaches to risk, the authors define safety culture and review theoretical models that elucidate mechanisms linking safety culture with safety performance. 
Filled with practical examples and case studies and drawing on a range of disciplines, the book explores individual differences and the many ways in which human beings are alike within a risk and safety context. It delineates a risk management approach that includes a range of techniques such as risk assessment, safety audit, and safety interventions. The authors address concepts central to workplace safety such as attitudes and their link with behavior. They discuss managing behavior in work environments including key functions and benefits of groups, factors influencing team effectiveness, and barriers to effectiveness such as groupthink.
