Herbert William Heinrich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current writer is assuming that Herbert William Heinrich is the American industrial safety pioneer from the 1930s whose classic work has been revised into the more recent book, Industrial Accident Prevention: A Safety Management Approach by H. W. Heinrich, Dan Petersen, Nestor R. Roos, Julienne Brown, Susan Hazlett (1980), ISBN-10: 0070280614, ISBN-13: 9780070280618.
Heinrich did safety work across many industries, with published data, which gives guidelines of how to scale up from incidents and near misses to a good estimate of the probability of real accidents.
