Nowadays we know much more about the working of the brain, especially how it perceives things, how it decides and how it prepares and performs actions. This book uses that new understanding. It focuses on the question what the brain teaches us about safe work behaviour and which opportunities we have to influence that behaviour. The author offers the reader an innovative insight in the psychology behind the success or failure of many work-related safety measures.

One of the key messages is th...
