(author)The Zero Accident Vision (ZAV) is a promising approach developed in industry, but not so much addressed by the safety science research community. In a discussion paper in Safety Science (2013) a call was made for more research in this area. Three years later is a good time to take status of developments in this field. A first set of empirical...article 2017

van Hees, R.P.J. (author), Naldini, S. (author)Age and ageing can be felt as negative occurrences. For monuments, however, old age is traditionally considered to be a positive quality. Without a certain age, the designation "monument" hardly applies. Ageing can be seen as the work of time, which has always been valued: ageing was sometimes even artificially induced in the past. In this paper...bookPart 2017

Bezem, J. (author)We studied a novel triage approach to the organisation of routine assessments by Preventive Child Health care (PCH), including task-shifting among professionals. In the triage approach, access to PCH, and the detection of the health problems studied, were comparable with the usual approach. The efficient deployment of PCH professionals using...doctoral thesis 2017
