Description
Developing an Effective Safety Culture implements a simple philosophy, namely that working safely is a cultural issue. An effective safety
culture will eventually lead to the desired goal of zero incidents in the work place, and this book will provide an understanding of
what is needed to reach this goal. The authors present reference material for all phases of building a safety management system and
ultimately developing a safety program that fits the culture.
This volume offers the most comprehensive approach to developing an
effective safety culture. Information is easily accessible as the authors move first through, understanding the cost of incidents, then
to perspectives and descriptions of management systems, principal management leadership traits, establishing and evaluating goals and
objectives, providing visible leadership, and assigning required responsibilities. In addition, you are given the means to systematically
identifying hazards and develop your own hazard inventory and control system.
Further information on OSHA requirements for training,
behavior-based safety processes, and the development of a job hazard analysis for each task is available as well. Valuable case studies,
from the authors' own experience in the industry, are used throughout to demonstrate the concepts presented.
Audience:
Safety and Human Resources Managers; Industrial Managers; Safety consultants, trainers, auditors, and hiring managers
