Effectively managing the case for safety

Andy Painting

What it is about and who it is aimed at

For anyone whose job involves the assessment of risk or the management of safety, this book will be invaluable.


In this, the second of our books on risk and safety, we explore the situations that lead to risk, and why the control measures that we put in place sometimes fail. We reveal how current safety-thinking should be challenged, and how developing incisive control measures - for any type of risk - can be achieved.


The book draws on the work of Dr Andy Painting in engineering safety and develops it into a new, simple mnemonic for any profession, industry, or project to use. If you deal with risk as part of your job, or are responsible for safety at any level, this book will help you to make more efficient decisions on controlling risk and mitigating threats to safety.



With a foreword by renowned accident investigator and risk specialist Dr Tony Cox MBE, this book examines how threats to safety can be effectively controlled ensuring the likelihood of harmful events is reduced.


Available directly from Routledge Taylor & Francis Group and all good bookshops.


Our previous book, An Effective Strategy for Safe Design in Engineering and Construction, published by Wiley, is also available.
