Free Ebook–Safety Awareness

A short and simple Ebook by Peter Ribbe

Introduction:
In this eBook we look at the psychological aspect of safety, through the eyes and brain of the individual. Through experience doing many investigations to ascertain “root cause”, it has been shown that most incidents and near misses are caused by mobile plant operators or workers on foot not having awareness to their surroundings.
It is a case of the old saying, YOU CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES. It is normal for the brain to become lazy, if it sees the same thing over and over again, and will not recognise a slight change in the pattern, when things do change marginally, we do not see the danger when it does confront us until too late.
