| Abstract |
For decades we have thought that a good safety program was reflected on how many days an organization went without having an accident. Wrong! This is a myth and an antiquated concept. Accidents, incidents and potential disasters may lurk around every corner or may be staring you right in the face. Pre-Accident Investigations: An Introduction to Organizational Safety will help you to identify complex (the fatal and costly) incidents in your organization before they take place. Is this the safety silver bullet we all have looked for? Hardly. This book is a set of new skills written for the managers that drive safety in their workplace. It is human performance theory made simple. If you are starting a new program, revamping an old program, or simply interested in understanding more about safety performance, this book will be extremely helpful. It is packed with advice based on years of tested programs. This is not ethereal academics; these are tested and practical concepts; advice, tools and programs have been proven in the field. Pre-Accident Investigations will assist you in making your organization the safest in your industry. It will save your organization money and, more importantly, save lives. |
