This book draws on research and experience in occupational health and safety to address a fundamental question: what separates a near miss incident from an accident that results in injury? Through analysis of workplace events, the author proposes that fortuity and luck are the key factors determining accident outcomes. Building on the CECAL (Cause, Effect, and Control of Accidental Loss) model introduced in 2000, the book explores the three 'Luck Factors' that intervene in undesired events, offering a fresh perspective on accident outcomes.This title provides the insights and tools needed to transform your perspective on workplace safety. With real-life examples, including the NASA Columbia disaster and United Airlines Flight 232, it challenges traditional safety metrics and introduces innovative concepts such as the Safety Fear Factor. It explains why measuring safety performance through injury rates is flawed, as these metrics often reflect luck rather than control. Readers will gain practical guidance on implementing proactive Safety Management Systems (SMS) to recognize, assess, and rectify near miss incidents, empowering them to prevent accidents effectively rather than relying on chance.The Safety Luck Factors: The Fortuity Elements that Influence Accident Outcomes is essential for safety professionals, workplace managers, and anyone involved in occupational health and safety.

Contemporary Studies in Corporate Law

Many attempts have been made to reduce the harms caused by business and to make companies become socially responsible. This book approaches the subject from a new perspective arguing that reflexive law offers the best means to align the interests of large companies with those of society and that recent developments in European company law fit a reflexive model. A reflexive company law, rather than trying to directly regulate companies, aims to affect internal decision-making processes to make companies responsive to outside interests and prevent them from operating as closed systems singularly focused on shareholder value. In this vein, the EU has recently imposed new obligations on companies to develop corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence processes as part of its objective to create a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. This book presents an argument for how the 'societal company' - a company that has an internal culture of transnational responsibility to do no harm but that retains the autonomy necessary to be economically productive - can be established through reflexive law. The book will appeal to researchers, policy makers and lawyers interested in corporate sustainability, regulatory theory, company law and EU law.

*A Radio 4 Book of the Week*'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' - Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent - this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' - Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body__________Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.__________'A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women's bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale

Indecision is a fact of life.We can't decide what film to watch, dinner to make or wine to buy. We hesitate before committing to romantic relationships and then again before breaking up. We worry about how best to invest our money, time, and energy. In contrast, we admire those individuals who can make quick decisions and stick to them with ease.But what if the line we've been sold - that indecision is bad, unhelpful, weak - is wrong?In this ground-breaking book, two leading psychologists upend the traditional decision mindset and reveal the hidden benefits of staying undecided. Drawing on the latest neuroscience and a wealth of examples from current affairs, history and popular culture, Ophelia Deroy and Bahador Bahrami provide fresh insight on everything from online dating and parenting to the gig economy and the way we vote. In so doing, they reveal that our obsession with decision-making does us more harm than good. Offering a radical, and often counterintuitive, new perspective on our everyday predicaments, Indecision encourages us to cultivate the power of an unresolved mind for happier, healthier lives.

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

Kommentar zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch mit Einführungsgesetz und Nebengesetzen (BGB) (Soergel)

A bold, hopeful argument for using our oceans to meet the worldwide need for food, renewable energy, and economic well-being without sacrificing the health of the planet As the world struggles to feed humanity, fuel economies and trade, and fulfill global energy needs, companies and governments are rushing to the vast blue expanse that covers two-thirds of our planet. But should we let them? A Sea of Wealth makes the provocative case for why we must harness the ocean—and demonstrates how we can do so wisely. Blending the latest science with engaging personal stories from a lifetime spent in and around the ocean, Ben Halpern takes readers around the globe to explore five key resources in the rapidly emerging blue economy: food, energy, transport, minerals, and carbon. He carefully considers what each has to offer, their environmental risks, and how they compare to land-based alternatives, while wrestling with his own feelings about using the sea. The danger is that industry and government will push too fast, too far into the ocean. Yet these expanding uses could provide environmental solutions at a planetary scale. A timely book by one of the world’s most influential environmental scientists, A Sea of Wealth tackles the question of whether we should halt or encourage the exploitation of our oceans and their untold resources—the answers may surprise you.

Modern Studies in European Law

This book tells a fascinating legal mobilisation story. Analysing EU environmental litigation over the last 30 years, it illustrates how the European environmental movement has patiently attempted and succeeded in expanding access to justice opportunities before the EU Courts. This is despite the longstanding reluctance of the EU Court of Justice to soften its standing requirements for private applicants bringing cases directly to Luxembourg. This research draws on both doctrinal analysis and qualitative methods of socio-legal inquiry. At its heart are interviews with key stakeholders: environmental lawyers, plaintiffs, and activists, which give an invaluable and innovative perspective on strategic litigation before the EU judiciary. With the growing emergency posed by the climate crisis and resultant increased litigation, this book makes a significant scholarly contribution to the study of environmental movements, to our conceptualisation of legal mobilisation, and to our understanding of the impact of litigation in European environmental law.
