Workplace Safety: A Guide For Small & Mid-Sized Companies, by Dan Hopwood and Steve Thompson, uses a straight-forward approach to creating the basic elements of a successful safety program. This book will provide updated information and real world examples illustrating how to prevent as well as confront the common health and safety issues that arise in the workplace. It includes information on core OSHA regulatory requirements, safety needs assessment, workers' compensation and insurance, disaster and emergency planning, ergonomics, risk management and loss prevention, injury management, incident investigation, workplace security, best practices, and workplace safety culture formation.

As leaders increasingly understand the importance of good safety practice to support their business objectives, safety and health practitioners develop better tools and solutions. However, there is still a gulf between these two groups where engagement, communication and shared understanding can be found lacking. From Accidents to Zero opens up the field of safety culture and breaks it down into bite-sized pieces to facilitate new, critical thought and inspire practical action. Based on the concept of creating safety, as opposed to just preventing accidents, each of the 26 chapters in this user-friendly book includes explanation, commentary, reflections and practical activities designed to systematically and sustainably improve workplace safety culture. Core topics range from behaviour to values, daily rituals to unsafe acts, felt leadership to trust. Andrew Sharman's practical guide blends current academic thinking with authoritative guidance and sets up the opportunity for all parts of the organization to close the gap by providing very clear steps to thinking and acting differently. It sparks insight into how both traditional methods and novel approaches can be brought to life in real world situations. From Accidents to Zero offers a clear route to culture change through over one hundred pragmatic ideas to motivate and lead people, influence behaviour and drive a positive evolution in workplace safety.

"The Pathway..." was conceived soon after "The ...Guidebook..." but has been slow in getting to the print and publish stage. The principle reason is that it represents a revelation of a large majority of what I do in my safety consulting practice. I am no longer concerned about telling all, for I have found over the years that even though I do so, clients still want to hear it from me, embellished with the now 16 years of anecdotes of experiences. This is flattering to know, and I appreciate that very much, but another reason also has come into play. I will not be clamoring for your attention on the subject of zero injury for too many more years. Consequently, I wish to offer one more publication on the subject, this one focused "in-depth" on analysis of 130 zero injury techniques thereby promoting deeper understanding for the use of those yet to be converted to the zero injury school of thought.

In contemplating the contents of this book, one realizes the potential it contains to contribute to the reformation of attitudes on the job toward an environment of limiting if not eliminating physical harm in the workplace. Through the proposition of marrying behavior to attitude, feelings and skills in the workforce, safety in the organization can be lifted to its rightful place against the demanded outcomes of operational entities usually considered to be only financial success. This publication lifts the consideration of zero harm in the workplace to be not only of equal importance, but in fact to be the driver of success for the enterprise, not only economically but also of good corporate behavior. By patient demonstration this book will assist management to arrive at and set values compatible with the installation of processes to build skills, set attitudes, and encourage pride across the workforce to deliver superior outcomes with respect to safety. As demonstrated, a leadership focus extending from management through to individual team, and ultimately to total company commitment, can be put into practice to enable continuous improvement to occur through safety as a core value. Regulation and risk control is becoming a subject of heightened focus by government authorities, and management obligations continue to be raised with appropriate penalties extracted for non compliance. Procedures and processes to help the practitioner "continuously improve" his performance are laid out with clarity in this book, having been developed and tested thoroughly by professionals having had many years experience in building up procedures. This book is a must as a handbook and ready reference for all managers seeking continuous improvement in safety maturity and leadership.
