- Book 3 of 8: Occupational Health and Safety Handbook Series
It is sustained through people, systems, and leadership.
In Volume 3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Handbook, the focus moves beyond physical hazards and regulatory compliance to examine the deeper drivers of occupational health, safety, and environmental (OHSE) performance — human cognition, competence, culture, and organisational design.
Across industries, serious incidents rarely result from a single unsafe act. They emerge from interacting system conditions: flawed decision environments, degraded competence frameworks, communication breakdowns, cultural drift, leadership failures, unmanaged change, and psychosocial pressures. Understanding these dynamics is essential for building resilient, high-performing organisations.
This volume provides a comprehensive, systems-based examination of the human dimensions of safety. It integrates contemporary safety science, human factors theory, organisational behaviour, and practical OHSE management principles into a coherent framework for modern risk management.
Inside this volume, you will explore:
• Human factors and the cognitive foundations of safety performance
• Human error versus systemic human failure
• Decision-making under pressure and cognitive bias
• Competence frameworks and capability assurance systems
• Information, instruction, supervision, and communication in practice
• Worker consultation and engagement structures
• Safety culture and safety climate development
• Behavioural safety and behaviour change strategies
• Leadership influence through a human factors lens
• Organisational change and risk integration
• Organisational learning, resilience, and memory
• Psychological health and psychosocial risk management
Written for safety professionals, organisational leaders, engineers, supervisors, and postgraduate students, Volume 3 bridges rigorous theory with practical application. It challenges traditional blame-based approaches and reframes safety as a product of system design, ethical leadership, and deliberate capability development.
Rather than asking, “Who failed?” this volume asks, “How did the system shape performance?”
By shifting focus from individual fault to systemic understanding, this handbook equips organisations to reduce error, strengthen competence, improve culture, and build sustainable safety performance in complex and high-risk environments.
Safety is not an outcome of compliance.
It is an outcome of design, leadership, and learning.
Volume 3 provides the roadmap.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
