McKinnon's book evaluates the venerable accident sequence, expands on the original tenets and most importantly, details those upstream interventions where the vast majority of causative agents are often undervalued or overlooked completely. The author looks beyond the usual dependencies of frequency and severity rates as the barometers of health and safety program success. These comparative statistics are often the results of what he refers to as the "luck factor," or the end stage of the Accidental Loss Sequence. He makes the case that the safety profession must be able to speak the language of business in order to optimize their roles as strategic partners. |
