Synopsis

Safety is not easy, it is a full time effort, and is equally important whether people are on the job or on personal time. Covering leadership, safety programs, and risk management for organizations and individuals, this book helps in professional development, grooming current and future leaders to understand their roles in safety and risk management. The author establishes the importance of an organizational leader's role in the safety/risk management game and provides the answer to, 'How safe is safe enough?'.Often, managers at various levels do not have an understanding of what goes into a safety program, this book tells them, from an expert's view. Readership includes executives and middle management; all leaders as a professional development book and students. It is also a supplemental textbook for safety and risk management courses.
