Our society has evolved significantly over the past 50 years. What have such changes meant for our management of health, safety and risk? We asked experts including Helen Barge, Hugh Maxwell, Trevor Bamber Jonathan Gawthrop, Steve Fowler, Ruth Waring FCILT, Clive Johnson, Joanne Price MIIRSM CMIOSH, Anna Keen and Michelle Stonley CFIOSH SIIRSM for their views on the most significant changes. ℹ️ This article appears in the April issue of IIRSM’s members magazine, The Sentinel.

Popular wisdom suggests that 90 per cent of accidents are due to human error. This approach, however, implies error on the part of the operator. Mark Young, Professor of Human Factors in Transport at the University of Southampton and outgoing President of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF), explores the role of human factors in risk management. ℹ️ This article appears in the April issue of IIRSM’s members magazine, The Sentinel.
