About this ebook

How do companies train and prepare people to work safely, and what improvements can be made to these learning processes?

"Safe Behavior" by Juliana Bley, a distinguished Brazilian work psychologist, delves deeply into these issues. Published nearly two decades ago yet still relevant, the book examines the challenging aspects of the training practices employed in Health and Safety, and it critiques the interpretations of behavioral concepts in the field.

Drawing on her Master’s studies in Psychology, Bley assesses current practices, revealing a substantial gap between present teaching methods in the field and the latest approaches to adult education. This book is crucial for EHS professionals, HR, and leaders who seek to enhance their learning practice proposals in safety and health in workplaces.
