2026 TAA Institute Featured Book, ‘Occupational Health and Safety’
Occupational Health and Safety: Measuring Safety Performance by Amna S. Imamshah distills peer-reviewed research into a practical, academically rigorous guide to what we should measure in occupational safety, why it matters, and how to measure it effectively. Moving beyond injury counts, the book integrates concepts such as safety climate and culture, leadership, learning from weak signals, and system reliability, demonstrating how these leading indicators connect to health, well-being, and performance outcomes. It addresses methodological quality—validity, reliability, sensitivity to change—and showcases mixed-methods approaches that transform data into decisions. Throughout, readers receive research-based indicator sets, example dashboards, and step-by-step guidance for developing defensible metrics and communicating trade-offs.
