About the Book:
In Machinery Safety: Performance, Knowledge, and Motivation, Elizabeth Bluff presents a compelling investigation into the often-overlooked origins of machinery-related deaths and injuries. Despite significant legal obligations, such as the European Machinery Directive and extensive knowledge in safety engineering and human factors, the book reveals that a high proportion of such incidents are still linked to inherent risks within the design and construction of machinery.
Drawing on empirical research with machinery manufacturers, this book explores the factors and processes that influence firms' performance in ensuring machinery safety, highlighting their alignment with legal requirements. Bluff blends rich empirical data with insights from safety, human factors, socio-legal studies, and learning theory to provide a nuanced account of how firms approach machinery safety.
The book delves into the critical role of knowledge and motivational factors, revealing how these elements shape the safety performance of firms, particularly those operating in complex, often global, supply chains. Bluff identifies the multiple state and non-state influences that lead to varied responses across manufacturing firms, offering a deeper understanding of the challenges faced in machinery safety.
The book concludes by proposing innovative directions for regulatory interventions aimed at sustaining the safe design and construction of machinery, providing valuable insights that could guide the future of regulatory frameworks in the field of machinery safety. With its blend of practical research and theoretical contributions, this book is an essential resource for safety engineers, regulators, and scholars interested in machinery safety and regulatory design.
