Interdisciplinary Insights for Sustainable Development

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the latest behavioral research findings on workplace safety to assist practitioners and policymakers in achieving and maintaining good health for all workers. It delves into a wide range of topics such as experiential learning, individual and team safety training, safety climate, and safety leadership to discuss how to achieve specific targets associated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3).

A distinctive feature is the thorough coverage of safety research findings applicable to organizations in high-income and low- to middle-income countries, where work-related accidents, diseases, and mortality rates are often considerably higher. A timely reflection on the global applicability of advances in behavioral safety research, this book is a useful source for practitioners, policymakers, graduate students, and researchers alike in management, occupational safety, occupational health psychology, and various fields in engineering, public health, and medicine.
