Safe Design and Construction of Machinery
«’The design of machinery has implications for workplace safety. While modern safety legislation imposes duties on designers and manufacturers we know little about how these requirements work in practice. This original and incisive book fills this gap. It is based on painstaking research and detailed analysis of how workplaces have responded to regulatory requirements including European Union design standards and non-regulatory influences. Its findings have wide relevance, including a better understanding of how global supply chains affect workplace safety.’ Michael Quinlan, University of New South Wales, Australia ’This is a fascinating account of the practice of regulation through the lens of machinery safety. It connects local practice to the national and global market places and enriches our understanding of why a combination of legal, policy and professional pressures has failed to advance safety further. The book is meticulously researched, linking rich qualitative data to rigorous performance assessments. This is exemplary scholarship and deserves to be widely read.’ Bridget M. Hutter, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK»
The origin of this book is the compelling evidence that a high proportion of machinery-related deaths and injuries are attributable to genuine and serious risks originating within machine design and construction. Les mer
