Preventing Industrial Accidents: Reappraising H. W. Heinrich

Description: Preventing Industrial Accidents by Carsten Busch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Based on some serious safety archaeology which gave access to many of Heinrichs original papers, books and detailed biographical information, this book deals with the life and work of Heinrich as well as the context he worked within, and investigates his influences and his legacy. Publisher Description Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today – for better and worse. Heinrichs work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources, or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrichs work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find, and quality biographical information is hard to get.Based on some serious "safety archaeology," which provided access to many of Heinrichs original papers, books, and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrichs work and discusses them, paying attention to their origins, the developments that came from them, interpretations and attributions, and the critiques that they may have attracted over the years. This includes such well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle, the accident sequence (dominoes), the hidden cost of accidents, the human element, and management responsibility.This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole, based on a unique richness of material and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. It also reflects on Heinrichs relevance for todays safety science and practice. Author Biography Carsten Busch has studied Mechanical Engineering, Safety, and Human Factors.
