Productive Safety Management

Auteur

Tania Van der Stap spent the last 20 years since writing the 1st edition of Productive Safety Management in managerial and technical positions responsible for safety, health, and environmental management. Having experience in staff and contractor roles means she understands how to achieve results, whether within the organisation, owners' team, project team or as an external technical expert. The industries she's worked in have been diverse - gas, mining, exploration, construction, rail transport, engineering, agribusiness, professional organisations, and regulators. She has in-depth knowledge of different strategies according to each organisation's level of maturity, leadership capability, resource availability and most importantly, the operational reality of the enterprise. Tania's qualifications are in Commerce (not HSE), which has throughout her career, resulted in a business lens on operational performance. She is an unequivocal advocate of a risk- and opportunity-based approach to HSE, production and quality.

Texte du rabat

This book is about operational risk management and overcoming the challenges of managing safety, production, and quality, concurrently. Reliance of the current understanding of residual risk is concerning given the tendency of systems of production to degrade, resulting in rising 'entropic risk' causing losses in day-to-day production.
