Publisher's Synopsis
A volume of original chapters which aim to clarify the concept of risk and to help standardise methods for decision- making in risk technology and safety management. This timely book is written by a team of experienced practitioners from many disciplines who review risk and safety procedures and decisions, and will be of interest to industrial psychologists, both civil and military, industrial engineers and production management, particularly nuclear and chemical industries. The emphasis throughout the book is on risks in connection with work and danger rather than commerce or gambling.
