"Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today - for better and worse. Heinrich's work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read Heinrich's work or looked into the backgrounds, most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrich's work has been out of print for decades, it is notoriously hard to find, and quality biographical information is hard to get. Based on some serious 'safety archaeology', which gave access to many of Heinrich's original papers, books and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. The book deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and looks into his influences and his legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrich's work and discusses these paying attention to their origins, the developments that came from them, interpretations and attributions, and the critique that they may have attracted over the years. This includes well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle, the accident sequence (dominos), hidden cost of accidents, the human element and management responsibility. This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole, based on a unique richness of material, and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. The book also reflects regularly on Heinrich's relevance for today's safety science and practice"--

"Le bien-être est dans l'air du temps et concerne de nombreuses disciplines. On sait moins que le bien-être intéresse aussi les sciences de gestion. Cet ouvrage a le mérite de montrer les causes et les conséquences du bien-être sur le consommateur, le travailleur et le citoyen. Il analyse aussi la nature du bien-être et les moyens de l'influencer en marketing, en gestion des ressources humaines et en gestion publique. Vingt chercheurs sont réunis ici autour d'un objectif commun : montrer pourquoi, comment, quand et par qui le bien-être relève de la gestion."

"The Subjectivities and Politics of Occupational Risk links restructuring in three industries to shifts in risk subjectivities and politics, both within workplaces and within the safety management and regulative spheres, often leading to conflict and changes in law, political discourses and management approaches. The state and corporate governance emphasis on worker participation and worker rights, internal responsibility, and self-regulative technologies are understood as corporate and state efforts to reconstruct control and responsibility for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks within the context of a globalized neoliberal economy. Part 1 presents a conceptual framework for understanding the subjective bases of worker responses to health and safety hazards using Bourdieu's concept of habitus and the sociology of risk concepts of trust and uncertainty. Part 2 demonstrates the restructuring arguments using three different industry case studies of multiple mines, farms and auto parts plants. The final chapter draws out the implications of the evidence and theory for social change and presents several recommendations for a more worker-centred politics of health and safety. The book will appeal to social scientists interested in health and safety, work, employment relations and labour law, as well as worker advocates and activists"--
