Features: Safety economics is an important and practically valuable sub-discipline within the field of safety science. Based on the results of multiple national research projects and the authors' years of research accumulation, this book presents readers with a brand-new world of safety economics—a cross-disciplinary field characterized by unconventional and "negative benefit" economics. The book features particularly innovative content, including safety economic principles, accident loss calculation, valuation methods for non-value factors, safety benefit evaluation, and the analysis of safety economic contribution rates. It also systematically introduces topics such as the scientific issues of safety economics, safety economic indicators and quantitative science, safety value engineering, safety investment and cost analysis, safety economic management and decision-making, and safety economic risk analysis. The book is characterized by theoretical depth, systematicity, and practicality, making it suitable for government safety production supervision personnel, registered safety engineers and specialized staff in enterprises, as well as serving as an ideal reference for safety training of production and operation unit leaders, safety science and technology personnel in universities and research institutions, and safety engineering students.
