Safety risk assessment and the development and implementation of control measures are the cornerstones of safety management theory and practice.

In Design for Safety, these topics are explored by looking at the roles played by the safety professional. Safety excellence is also examined through the leadership role played by managers who take personal ownership of safety.

Readers will appreciate the features that make this book a valuable learning resource, namely:

• clearly defined learning outcomes at the start of each chapter
