Producing Safety. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 300
This book explores working and learning practices in
the context of safety within the Civil Construction
Industry of Western Australia and
specifically focuses on the relations between
organisational safety values and current working
practices, primarily focusing on the instrumental
power of managers in organisations to produce safety.
The book examines the values in action that permeate
the workplace culture and mediate the daily
practices of people working in this industry, and
ultimately how they impact upon the minds and bodies
of employees. The study provides insight into the
working practices and discourses within this
industry by exploring the space between rhetoric and
reality, specifically in terms of managing actions.
Patterns in the data illuminate particular relations
between values and practices that can mediate
improved regimes of occupational, safety and health
practices within organisations in the Civil
Construction Industry.
At the core of this study is the assumption that
managers have a set of continually evolving and
competing values that influence and determine their
relational impact upon workplace safety culture.
