What do Heinrich's 'unsafe acts' from the 1930's have in common with the Swiss cheese model of the early 1990's? Why was the reinvention of human factors in the 1940's such an important event in the development of safety thinking? What makes many of our current systems so complex and impervious to Tayloristic safety interventions? 'Foundations of Safety Science' covers the origins of major schools of safety thinking, and traces the heritage and interlinkages of the ideas that make up safety science today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a comprehensive overview of the theoretical foundations of safety science \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides balanced treatment of approaches since the early 20th century, showing interlinkages and cross-connections \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes an overview and key points at the beginning of each chapter and study questions at the end to support teaching use \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses an accessible style, using technical language where necessary \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcentrates on the philosophical and historical traditions and assumptions that underlie all safety approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSidney Dekker\u003c\/strong\u003e (PhD Ohio State University, USA, 1996) is professor of social science at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, where he runs the \u003ci\u003eSafety Science Innovation Lab\u003c\/i\u003e.
