Identifying and Analysing Safety Risk

Unidentified safety risks could take an enterprise by surprise and harm its financial future. The cost of non-compliance extends beyond the financial implications of business and personal liability, potentially leading to business closure and loss of life. Identifying and Analysing Safety Risks maps out a path for business owners, entrepreneurs and safety practitioners to accurately and systematically identify, assess and eliminate these risks in their organisations. To create context, the authors discuss the origins of safety risks and explain legal requirements that must be met to ensure a safe working environment. This second edition includes practical application of the safety risk assessment process from various perspectives including road, railway, and aviation safety risk. Additional information has been incorporated from the chemistry, steel manufacturing and construction industries. A significant part of the book is dedicated to the analysis and assessment of safety risk, the process and scope of safety risk and the vital role of cross-functional teams in addressing safety risks.
