Human Factors and Behavioural Safety by Jeremy Stranks

Accidents and cases of occupational ill-health are commonly associated with aspects of human behaviour and the potential for human error. This book gives health and safety professionals and students an overview of human factors and those aspects of human behaviour which have a direct effect on health and safety performance within organisations.
