Critical Perspectives on Safety
Issued by
Griffith University
Earners know the background and history of ideas that have shaped what is safety science and practice today. Earners have studied the research and practical insights that drove the concepts and theories about risk and safety, the accidents and societal trends that led to new developments and insights, and how these models take a limited look at the world, enabling them to do certain things while excluding others. Earners can match safety problems to solutions in their own organization and beyond
