Despite long-term implementation efforts, many Indian organisations continue to face challenges such as hierarchical barriers, lack of emotional connectivity, and a persistent culture of blame and fear—often worsened by limited top management support and gaps in safety culture expertise. This book addresses these critical issues by advocating a shift from basic behavioural observation to a more holistic approach that integrates psychological safety, human factors, and overall well-being.
Authored from a practitioner’s perspective, this twelve- chapter guide blends primary research, real-world insights,and case studies to offer practical frameworks for professionals and students. Aligned with global standards like the ILO and WHO, it provides a clear roadmap for building positive safety cultures and Living Injury Free Everyday (L.I.F.E).
