Inhaltsangabe

Every industry faces occupational health and safety risks, but those risks do not arise, develop, or require control in exactly the same way.
Occupational Health and Safety Handbook — Volume 6: Sector-Specific OHSE Systems, Industry Risks, and Global Case Studies examines how established occupational health, safety, and environmental principles can be adapted to the distinctive realities of different industries and operating environments.
Moving from general principles into practical sector application, the book explores OHSE challenges across construction and infrastructure, oil and gas, process industries, power generation and renewable energy, manufacturing, mining and quarrying, warehousing and transportation, healthcare and laboratories, agriculture and food production, public services, maritime operations, aviation, and other safety-critical industries.
Particular attention is given to high-risk activities and systems, including excavation and temporary works, structural stability, hazardous energy, process containment, machinery, mobile plant, occupational exposure, contractor interfaces, emergency preparedness, critical controls, and management of change.
The book also examines lessons from major global incidents to demonstrate how failures in engineering, leadership, communication, organisational systems, human factors, and control effectiveness can combine to produce serious consequences. These cases are used not simply to revisit past events, but to strengthen risk recognition, prevention, assurance, and organisational learning.
Written for OHSE professionals, engineers, managers, supervisors, consultants, contractors, regulators, academics, students, and organisational leaders, this volume provides a practical bridge between established OHSE principles and their application across diverse sectors.
At its core is a simple principle: effective OHSE management must reflect the nature, scale, complexity, and consequences of the risks being managed.
As part of the eight-volume Occupational Health and Safety Handbook series, Volume 6 provides a practical, cross-industry perspective on how organisations can understand their distinctive risks, select appropriate controls, verify their effectiveness, learn from experience, and build safer, healthier, and more resilient workplaces.
