Description

Accidents are generally regarded as unexpected events, which do not fall into any predictable pattern. A common assumption is that safety is best assured by laws, regulations and procedures. This thought-provoking book studies fatal accident trends in industry and transport and observes how they correlate with other measures of human activity such as national productivity. Incidence is found to correlate inversely with economic growth such that, as a rule, more prosperous nations have a lower accident mortality. A formal theoretical model is proposed and discussed that is consistent with this pattern of events. Key Features: examines fatal accident trends in industry and transport; proposes that fatal accident rates diminish over time as a result of skill development; observes the correlation between accidents and specific measures of human activity, such as national productivity. Contents: How fatal accidents happen; Fatality and loss rates in transport and industry; Mortality from all causes; Economic growth; Analysing historical data: characteristics and methods; Some outstanding questions.
