Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today – for better and worse. Heinrich’s work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources, or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrich’s work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find, and quality biographical information is hard to get. Based on some serious "safety archaeology," which provided access to many of Heinrich’s original papers, books, and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrich’s work and discusses them, paying attention to their origins, the developments that came from them, interpretations and attributions, and the critiques that they may have attracted over the years. This includes such well-known ideas and metaphor as the accident triangle, the accident sequence (dominoes), the hidden cost of accidents, the human element, and management responsibility. This book is the first to deal with the work and legacy of Heinrich as a whole, based on a unique richness of material and approaching the matter from several (new) angles. It also reflects on Heinrich’s relevance for today’s safety science and practice.

Heldenmythen sind Geschichten von Reifung und Wandel. Facettenreich schildern sie Veränderungen von Menschen und von sozialen Systemen. Dabei folgen sie immer einer charakteristischen dramaturgischen Struktur. Die Anwendung dieser Dramaturgie als archetypische Schrittfolge nützt, wann und wo immer Entwicklung und Veränderung stattfinden. Der vorliegende Tagungsband des Symposiums-Heldenprinzip 2011 Innovationsstrategien für Gegenwart und Zukunft gibt Einblick in Adaptionen des mythologischen Modells sowie in das Konzept Heldenprinzip® im deutschsprachigen Raum. Die Beiträge in ihrer Vielfalt vermitteln die gegenwärtigen Arbeitsfelder und substantielle Wirkung der Veränderungsdramaturgie. Sie spannen einen gedanklichen Bogen über so unterschiedliche Bereiche wie Innovationen in der Wirtschaft, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und künstlerische Prozesse. Die grafische Gestaltung des Tagungsbandes illustriert die ästhetische Intention des Heldenprinzips.
