Workplace Safety: Individual Differences in Behavior examines safety behavior and outlines practical interventions to help increase safety awareness. Individual differences are relevant to a variety of settings including the workplace, public spaces, and motor vehicles. This book takes a look at ways of defining and measuring safety as well as a variety of individual differences like gender, job knowledge, conscientiousness, self-efficacy, risk avoidance, and stress tolerance that are important in creating safety interventions and improving the selection and training of employees. Workplace Safety takes an incisive look at these issues with a unique focus on the way individual differences in people impact safety behavior in the real world.
