Reviews

"This book is so full of information and practical suggestions that you will be constantly highlighting important passages or taking copious notes on new things that you can try in your own workplace..."This is a terrific book for beginners, students but most of all those managers who think they know it all. This book reminds us all clearly that a safety culture is attainable by cutting through a lot of the sales spin, and it provides us with the information and tools to do so....use this book as a good skeleton on which to hang your customized safety management system, or safety culture initiatives." --Kevin Jones, Editor, Safety at Work Magazine, July 2003
