Occupational Health and Safety Handbook: OHSE Research, Policy, and Advanced Risk Science

By Dr. Yusuf Oladele

How can occupational health and safety professionals make better decisions when evidence is incomplete, risks are uncertain, and the world of work is rapidly changing?
Occupational Health and Safety Handbook - Volume 8: OHSE Research, Policy, and Advanced Risk Science provides an advanced yet practical exploration of the evidence, analytical methods and governance approaches that support modern occupational health and safety decision-making.
This final volume of the eight-volume series moves beyond conventional hazard management to examine how OHSE professionals can generate, evaluate and apply evidence; interpret data responsibly; understand uncertainty; analyse complex and catastrophic risks; develop effective policy; anticipate emerging threats; and use artificial intelligence and advanced analytics without losing professional judgement or accountability.
The book covers: OHSE research design, methodology, ethics and research integrityData quality, statistical reasoning and performance intelligenceAdvanced risk analysis, uncertainty and systemic riskMajor accident and low-probability, high-consequence riskOHSE policy development, regulation and international governanceEvidence-informed professional and organisational decision-makingEmerging risks, horizon scanning and scenario planningArtificial intelligence, automation and advanced OHSE analyticsOrganisational learning, foresight and strategic preparednessThroughout the book, Analytical Insight, Research Perspective, Policy Perspective and Professional Practice features connect advanced concepts with real-world OHSE challenges.
Written for OHSE and HSE professionals, engineers, managers, consultants, researchers, academics, regulators, students and organisational leaders, Volume 8 provides a structured framework for understanding not only what the evidence says, but also its quality, limitations, uncertainty and practical meaning.
As the concluding volume of the Occupational Health and Safety Handbook Series, it brings together the progression:
Foundations → Risk → People → Operations → Leadership → Industries → Health → Evidence and Policy
Its central message is simple but important:
Better OHSE decisions depend not simply on having more information, but on understanding the quality, limitations, uncertainty and practical meaning of the evidence available.
