This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to decision-making, synthesizing perspectives from psychology, business strategy, and system dynamics. Integrating real-world examples with structured decision-making frameworks, it makes complex concepts accessible and practical. The text uniquely bridges personal and professional decision-making, demonstrating their interconnectedness and the universal applicability of sound decision-making principles. Positioned within the literature on cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and business management, it engages with ongoing debates on the role of cognitive biases, emotional influences, and the importance of structured decision-making processes in achieving sustainable outcomes.

When you purchase a product, you expect it to work. Construction workers on high-rise buildings need to be confident that their safety harnesses will arrest a fall. Firefighters need to know that their gloves and other protective equipment can withstand high temperatures. Healthcare workers administering highly toxic chemotherapy agents need to know that their gloves will withstand penetration. For personal protective technologies (PPT)--where the major purpose of the product is to protect the wearer against a hazard--a deficit in product effectiveness can mean injury, illness, or death. Examining the extent to which products meet specific performance or design criteria is the focus of conformity assessment efforts. For PPT conformity assessment, the ultimate goal is preventing worker illness, injury, or death from hazardous working conditions. This book focuses on conformity assessment for occupational PPT--ensuring that PPT are effective in preventing or reducing hazardous exposures or situations that workers face in their jobs. Because respirators already have an extensive testing and conformity assessment process in place, this book specifically addresses conformity assessment processes for other types of PPT, including eye and face protection, gloves, hearing protectors, and protective clothing.--Publisher's description.
