Taylor & Francis Preventing Industrial Accidents
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 â for better and worse. Heinrichâs work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources, or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrichâs 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 provided access to many of Heinrichâs original papers, books, and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrichâs work and discusses them, paying attention to their ori
