For the past two decades, workplace safety has improved in reducing minor injuries, yet the rate of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) has remained unchanged. Research has revealed that the hazards causing minor injuries are not the same as those leading to fatalities, making traditional safety approaches insufficient. Energy-Based Safety (EBS) presents a science-backed strategy for SIF prevention, built on four core principles that emphasize the role of hazardous energy, the power of effective controls, and the critical influence of workers in shaping safety outcomes.This book is a useful resource for those committed to saving lives and delivering change in workplace safety through new ways of injury prevention. Divided into two parts, it firstly explores the research behind EBS and investigates each principle with evidence, case studies, and practical insights from real-world implementation. The second part focuses on incorporating EBS into existing safety practices, from design and work planning to incident learning and performance measurement.Through reading this book, readers will gain practicable tools and methods to enhance safety programs, making SIF prevention effective and sustainable in their workplace Written for safety professionals, Energy-Based Safety: A Scientific Approach to Preventing Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) is an enlightening read for industry leaders in occupational health and safety and practitioners responsible for workplace safety and occupational risk.
