Description:

Safety or the effects of its absence are often attributed to fate and loosely termed as “acts of God”. In reality, incidents occur when one or more components of a system or their mutual linkages fail to perform satisfactorily. It is not a simple task to analyse a system failure scenario wherein multiple components interact and it certainly is not a layman's job. Therefore, it is imperative to give top-most priority to the safety management in industries.

The book, systematically organised in fifteen chapters, addresses all components of industrial safety management and explains their principles with the aim to help readers develop good understanding of the subject.
