Recognising the gap between incident analysis and meaningful workplace transformation, the book advocates for a shift in mindset, emphasising practical application over theoretical comprehension. This book delivers a comprehensive framework that connects incident findings and tangible and practical workplace improvements. Building upon the works of renowned safety science thinkers, including Sidney Dekker and James Reason, the book offers insights garnered from years of industry experience, delivering a pragmatic approach that is usable in any workplace. New to this edition are two new chapters, updated content on lessons learned from investigations, and increased coverage of the process required to better understand workplace fatalities. Through investigating common drivers of disasters, from the Herald of Free Enterprise ferry tragedy to the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown, the reader will gain an understanding of what can be learned from past incidents and how that can be applied to ensure a safer future.
