About

Many of the industrially developed countries of the world have seen injury and illness rates decline over the last 50 years. However, these rates have generally reached a plateau over the last decade. This fact, coupled with the realisation of the role of management and organizational (latent) failures in accident causation, has to lead to new approaches in managing health and safety, most notably the use of a systems approach. The importance of managing health and safety has been highlighted in recent official reports of major accidents and has received increasing emphasis on OH&S legislation.
