Safe design and construction of machinery: regulation, practice, and performance

See all formats and editions

The origin of this book is the compelling evidence that a high proportion of machinery-related deaths and injuries are attributable to genuine and serious risks originating within machine design and construction.

This trend continues despite significant legal obligations, notably the European regulatory regime giving effect to the Machinery Directive (among others), and a substantial body of specialist knowledge originating in the disciplines of human factors and safety engineering.

Grounded in empirical research with machinery manufacturers, this book aims to elucidate the factors and processes shaping firms? performance for machinery safety, and considers their compatibility with legal obligations.
