Safe Design and Construction of Machinery: Regulation, Practice and Performance – eBook

Description

The origin of this ebook, Safe Design and Construction of Machinery: Regulation, Practice, and Performance (ePub/PDF), stems from compelling evidence highlighting that a significant number of injuries and fatalities related to machinery can be traced back to inherent risks in machine design and construction. This concerning trend persists even amidst robust legal frameworks, particularly the European regulatory framework that implements the Machinery Directive and other crucial regulations, along with a wealth of specialized information derived from fields like human factors and safety engineering.

This essential ebook is grounded in rigorous empirical research conducted with machinery manufacturers, aiming to illuminate the intricate processes and factors that influence companies’ ability to achieve machinery safety. It also critically examines how these factors align with existing legal requirements. By seamlessly integrating substantial empirical data with insights from human factors, safety methodologies, socio-legal assessments, and educational perspectives, Safe Design and Construction of Machinery offers a comprehensive exploration of organizational performance in relation to machinery safety. Moreover, it makes significant theoretical and conceptual contributions that deepen our understanding of these dynamics.

Particularly noteworthy is this ebook’s exploration of the intertwined roles of knowledge and motivational factors in shaping a company’s performance. It delves into the complex landscape of influences—both state and non-state—that lead to diverse responses among manufacturing firms, often operating within vast supply chains and networks that span the globe. These valuable insights lay the groundwork for enhancing regulatory frameworks, and the conclusion advocates for innovative strategies aimed at improving the safe design and construction of machinery.
