Managing Involvement for an Injury-Free Culture
Used in thousands of implementations at sites worldwide, the leading-edge accident prevention techniques in this book enable safety professionals to combine training and organization development to foster safe work-place practices and reduce injuries. Updated since its first release in 1990, the second edition addresses changes in total quality management (TQM) applications for safety, new methods for surveying perceptions and predicting implementation success, outcome studies and employee selection.
Discover how to introduce behavior-based safety at a site, measure performance through sampling and computer analysis and provide regular feedback on safety performance. The Fortune 500 companies that have used this approach include 3M Company, ARCO Chemical, Cargill, Inc., Chevron U.S.A., Eastman Chemicals, Equistar Chemicals, The Kroger Company, Mead Corporation, Phillips Petroleum, Potlatch, PPG Industries, Solutia, and Tenneco Automotive.
