The book is designed to introduce readers from a wide variety of backgrounds to the newly emerging science of safety. The book takes readers on a journey from approaches to safety that focus on individual behaviour, through approaches that take the organisation as the main focus of analysis and finally to the emergence of safety as a science of whole systems. The emphasis is on making the key concepts and developments associated with each approach accessible and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is available in hardback, paperback and electronic versions.
