The world of safety for professionals can often be unclear. In an industry that divides the safety world into one of two camps, either traditional or contemporary safety, the lack of knowledge continues to propagate through books, publications, podcasts, social media, and conferences, leaving safety professionals feeling more muddled than informed.

Humanizing Safety: A Four-Step Approach provides a practical approach to human-centric safety collating the best elements of traditional and contemporary approaches for safety professionals to practise at work.

By following this approach, readers will learn to apply humanistic safety principles to any workplace where safety is valued. The book explores the realm of human-centric safety and its intricacies, unpacking topics such as the contradictions and dilemmas of workplace safety, the psychology of safety, the human condition and its contribution to the safety of work, and how safety leaders can synthesize the collective knowledge, skills, expertise and lived experiences of the people who make up an organisation.

Featuring micro-projects for readers to refer to and work through within their organisations, this book allows the reader to navigate the vast sea of information surrounding the opportunities and pitfalls of traditional and contemporary safety approaches through a lens of human-centric safety.

This book is an easy-to-read that will appeal to professionals at all career levels where safety is critical to their role, including those in construction, utilities, manufacturing, mining, civil, aviation and maritime sectors.
