Developing an Effective Safety Culture: A Leadership Approach

I received my B.S. in Occupational Safety and Health at Columbia Southern University. One of my courses used this wonderful book as the course text. The course was fantastic due to a wonder professor but without the use of our text "Developing an Effective Safety culture:a Leadership Approach" I do not feel that it would have been nearly as effective. Since this course I have referred back to this "text" many times, others have borrowed it for short periods before purchasing their own copies. The principles presented within this book are well thought out, organized, proven and presented in a straight forward way that is easily understood and applied in any workplace. I just finished a position as an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist (EHS) for a project which involved the demo of a single 32 acre 82 foot tall building. We had a work crew of over 170 at peak. The potential during this project was there for major injury or worse. The project was completed ahead of schedule but most importantly....safely. This massive project would never have been able to have been performed as safe as it was without the the team effort of the workforce and the development of a Effective Safety Culture. I work as a contract EHS and currently seeking my next assignment but I promise you one thing. I will not leave home without this book. It is a "keeper!" PS Write your name all over it or it will "walk". I had to retrieve mine a couple of times....
