Global Concept: Safety,
Professor Sidney Dekker PhD
Abstract
While the ‘science of safety’ is often referred to in professional discussion there has not been any clear exposition of the theories and principles that make up that science. Drawing on the book Foundations of Safety Science, this chapter briefly reviews each decade from the 1900s through to the 2010s summarising the predominant safety theories of the time, how they interact and how they are reflected in practice then and now. While the system within which people work is overtly the focus of most of the theories, perspectives from each theory are presented to demonstrate that they actually revert to target the people who work in the system. The chapter concludes that whilst the basis is preliminary and flawed, safety has status as a social science which should inform OHS practice.
