Synopsis

Personal and Public Safety: Understanding Risk and Taking Responsibility addresses the foundations of personal and public safety by focusing on the actions needed to minimize or eliminate conditions that may cause psychological, emotional, or physical harm and lead to pain, injury, or loss.

Through a collection of chapters authored by experts within the discipline, readers learn about causation theories, human performance limitations, risk assessment, the role of the law in providing safety to individuals and communities, and safety at home. Dedicated chapters address health and hygiene, food safety, transportation safety, safety in the workplace, recreation safety, protecting the environment, fire safety, emergency preparedness, and information challenges that can affect safety and health. Each chapter features an opening vignette, introduction, key takeaways, and end-of-chapter questions to support the learning experience.
