Abstract
Outlines the current scenario regarding work‐related injuries and states that most company policies are built on the occupational safety and health administration programmes. Considers the need for additional administrative controls, together with brief examples from industry. Discusses the human error factor and provides examples of sources of problems caused by poorly designed human factors and their solutions. Presents a framework for a behaviour base of safety in an effort to discover underlying reasons.
