Industrial Safety Management: Hazard Identification and Risk Control
by: L. M. Deshmukh
Abstract: The book interprets and simplifies the current thinking of the world's leading safety management experts. Written by a safety professional, who has a rich background in industrial safety practices, training and consulting, the book draws on the valuable lessons learnt post major disasters such as the Flixborough, Basel, Mexico City, Three Mile Island, Seveso, Chernobyl, Aberfan, San Carlos, Oppau, Texas City and the worst of all the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Besides, it incorporates the most common, everyday routine injuries and accidents that could be avoided with a little attention and care for detail. The book is meant for safety professionals, line managers, trainers, HR professionals and heads of industrial establishments. From identification of common potential hazards, associated with entry into a confined space, falls and slips, electrocution, uncontrolled release of hazardous energies, material handling, disposal of waste materials, working with tractors, forklifts, gas cylinders and corrosive substances- the book is a repository of experiences, hazards and lapses. It includes materials that can be used for training and development of workers and professionals. Most exclusively, it contains in-depth case histories, often true, unfortunate incidents on thoroughly investigated and properly analysed Surveillance Findings and Investigative Case Reports.
