Sommario/riassunto

Multimodal Safety Management and Human Factors is a wide-ranging compendium of contemporary SMS and HF approaches from the aviation, road, rail and medical domains. It brings together 27 chapters from both the academic and professional worlds that focus on applications, tools and strategies in SMS and HF; a wellspring of the practical rather than the theoretical. Safety scientists, human factor industry practitioners, change management advocates, educators and students of SMS and HF will find this book extremely relevant and challenging.
