Actively Caring for Safety: The Psychological Science of Injury
Prevention outlines proactive applications of applied behavioural
science and humanism (i.e., humanistic behaviourism) for improving
health and safety. This text provides evidence-based principles for
customizing effective processes for improving the human dynamics of
safety and health in various locations—from home to the workplace,
and throughout a community. World-renowned health/safety researcher,
teacher, and consultant E. Scott Geller combines theory and principles
in practical step-by-step procedures with behavioral science methods
capable of enhancing safety awareness, reducing at-risk behavior, and
facilitating ongoing participation in safety-related activities.
Drawing upon his bestselling works Working Safe and The Psychology of
Safety Handbook, this book presents a science-based and practical
approach to improving attitudes and behavior for achieving an
injury-free work environment. The text has been improved and updated
throughout and includes additional material on a rationale for
language to replace common safety-related words that stifle human
engagement. Plus, critical safety-relevant information is provided on
empathy, emotional intelligence, self-motivation, positive psychology,
psychological safety, the dramatic benefits of promoting perceptions
of personal choice, and critical distinctions between leadership and
management for optimizing workplace safety and productivity. Written
in an enjoyable, anecdotal, and engaging style, this is an essential
read for any student, academic, researcher, or professional of health
and safety.
