More about the book
Challenging conventional methods of measuring workplace safety, this book critiques the reliance on injury rate data and lead indicators, which often reflect mere activity rather than true safety outcomes. It highlights the shortcomings of these metrics, which can create an "illusion of safety" and fail to ensure legal compliance. Through an analysis of workplace accidents and relevant case law, it proposes alternative approaches to understanding and demonstrating health and safety in organizations, aiming to foster a more effective safety culture.
