Title: The Psychology of Safety Handbook
Abstract: This text for safety professionals, students, and others concerned with the reduction of injury in organizational and community settings discusses how psychology influences the safety and health of people. In the first section, Geller (psychology, Virginia Tech.) discusses safety theory and a variety of approaches, such as behavior-based programs, ergonomics, government action, and poster campaigns. Other sections cover human barriers to safety (such as human nature, perceived risk, and stress), behavior-based psychology, behavior-based intervention, actively caring behaviors, evaluation, and maintaining involvement. The Psychology of Safety Handbook not only teaches principles and practical procedures for improving safety-related behaviors, but also illustrates how to increase people’s willingness to use these techniques to create a Total Safety Culture.
