Foundations of Safety Science: A Century of Understanding Accidents and Disasters

Very well written presentation of the contributions made from many sources in this field

This is an indispensable book for understanding safety in the work place. The references alone are worth the price. I keep this book on my desk for quick reference. The text is so useful that I purchased a Kindle version for my phone. Many thanks to Dr. Dekker!

Exceptional body of knowledge for entry-level safety enthusiasts to advanced, multi-disciplined academics/professionals connected with or overlapping with safety science. In short, essential reading. Packed with historical milestones, endless contemporary influences and decision breadcrumbs, this resource makes for compelling reading from cover to cover. Researchers, practitioners, professionals and academics will benefit from the extensive research and comprehensive citations throughout. Now one of my most recommended books to peers, students, and contemporaries.
