Where does a safety professional start with processes to reduce risk and create a safer work environment? The answer is with a systems approach to safety. Safety Systems covers the nitty-gritty of this approach, including how to develop a System Safety Programme Plan (SSPP). Different tools and methods of analysing and evaluating safety data are also discussed.

Some of the features that make Safety Systems valuable are:

• a uniquely South African perspective, making the information relevant to any South African organisation

• integration of practical and theoretical knowledge

• learning outcomes and key terms to guide the reader

• self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter to test the reader’s understanding of the material.
