Recently published a paper on adequacy of energy absorbers in Safety Science. Let me know if you are interested in research of fall protection equipment. Email me at y.goh”at”curtin.edu.au (replace the “at” with @).

Adequacy of personal fall arrest energy absorbers
Monday, March 29th, 2010James Reason’s new book!
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008A friend just alerted me of James Reason‘s new book “The Human Contribution– unsafe acts, accidents and heroic recoveries”.
His other book on organisational accident (“Managing the Risks of Organizational Accidents“) is also a must read. It has a chapter on safety culture, which is very insightful.
Micro-businesses might have advantages in OSH management
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008I was analysing some accident data and my analysis seems to suggest that micro-businesses (less than 25 employees) might actually have better OSH performance (as represented in lagging indicators) than small and medium enterprises (25-200 employees). This may be due to the fact that top management of micro-businesses are usually directly involved in the operations and they can oversee matters directly. In addition such businesses are usually comparatively more manageable. Was told that there had been similar findings in earlier researches too.
