Safely Productive

We've come a long way promoting industrial and construction safety, but that does not mean there isn't room to improve - and lots of it. Vawn Jeddry, who has developed safety policies, processes, and procedures for industrial and mining professionals throughout the world, examines how to reduce incidents in this book. She proposes that finding the balance between safety and productivity starts with each and every member of the team being self-aware. That means understanding how choices and behavior are influenced and how to make better decisions. In clear language, she explains how to: engage people on a personal level and lead them to successful outcomes; identify safety traps that trip up individuals and organizations; understand what motivates people to take risks. With graphs and analysis, the author also explores how workplace incidents and injuries have gone down over time and whether it s possible to achieve zero loss, which means no loss of people, equipment, the environment or reputation as the result of an incident.
