Book Description
Drawing on author Charles Reese's 23 years of experience as a safety manager and educator, Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach presents a total management approach to a broad range of issues in occupational health and safety. Reese covers every facet of safety and health management with real-world examples and strategies. He provides succinct yet thorough coverage of important and timely concepts and practices commonly used in the safety field. More than just a text filled with information, this is a true how-to book. The author discusses how to write a program, how to identify hazards, and how to involve workers and attain their cooperation. He goes on to explain how to use identification and intervention tools such as hazard hunt, audits, and job hazard analysis. He provides a listing of potential resources, encourages developing a working relationship with OSHA, and how to go about determining which regulations are applicable to you or your employer's workplace and how to find assistance and sources that will help you guide your organization to compliance with OSHA regulations. The book incorporates the development of written programs, the identification of hazards, the mitigation of hazards by use of common safety and health tools, and the development of a safe workforce through communication, motivational techniques, involvement, and training. Covering a wide array of occupational health and safety topics in one cohesive single-authored volume, Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach is a blueprint for developing and managing a safety and health initiative tailored exactly to your company's needs.
Book Description
This book describes the essential elements of a behavior-based safety program as well as describing some of the barriers to full implementation. The author also discusses how to evaluate supervisory performance and training methods. Drawing on his training and experience in industrial psychology and organizational behavior, Dr. Petersen presents a model for teaching safe behavior and building a safe work environment. Approaches to encouraging greater participation in safety programs are examined. The author also examines what effects stress has on safe behavior, and the need for wellness programs. Substance abuse effects on worker behavior are explored and recommendations for developing an employee assistance program in substance abuse are presented.

Safety Management: A Human Approach.......2003-10-02
Techniques of Safety Management: A Systems Approach, Fourth Edition
Dan Petersen has made enormous contributions to occupational safety and health and this fourth edition of Techniques of Safety Management continues the tradition. This book is a companion volume to Techniques of Safety Management: A Human Approach. A systems approach emphasizes systems but also includes information about the human element.
Petersen discusses numerous changes occurring in the rapidly evolving safety field. For readers who have an earlier edition of this book, the best thing about the fourth edition is the updated material - both revised and new. Petersen does a nice job updating relevant information and including pertinent new topics such as statistical safety control, ISO standards, fault trees for specific safety system elements, and Six Sigma.
The book is well organized into six parts. The first part provides a thorough historical framework of safety including recent changes affecting safety professionals. Petersen has a unique ability to see the big picture and yet skillfully dissect and clearly explain specific techniques successful safety professionals need. He reviews ten safety management principles, then covers the related roles, drivers, and measurement involved in managing safety in Part two.
Part three and four cover proactive and reactive system elements. These are important concepts for safety professionals and safety students to comprehend, because (in the reviewers' opinion) proactive approaches and effective reactive approaches are not commonly performed very well in safety management. Proactive safety approaches are unfortunately missing in many organizations. Proactive topics include changing behavior, changing physical conditions, using ergonomics, and changing the management system. The section on proactive system elements covers about 100 pages and includes valuable information on topics such as motivation, measurement, and risk analysis.
Additional system elements such as complying with OSHA, fleet safety, product safety, and other safety-related programs are reviewed in part five. The Appendix includes over 20 fault trees for safety system elements. Examples of system safety elements include supervisory performance, effective discipline, effective training, support for safety, and management credibility. These are unique to my knowledge and potentially very useful to the safety professional. The book is worth purchasing for these "fault trees" alone.
Petersen emphasizes research as an underlying criterion for sound decisions. He includes a wide variety of studies and authors, and draws upon extensive real world innovations and best practices. The book is replete with useful checklists, templates, and meaningful exhibits. Many of the checklists and formulas are ready for the reader to customize for their own use. One example provided and explained in detail is the Justification Formula. The Justification Formula is used to assess risks, and "provides both Safety and Management with guidance in deciding whether the cost of a proposed safety project is justified...and gives a solid foundation upon which Safety may base its recommendations for corrective action" (p.179). The Justification Formula appears to be a genuinely valuable tool for safety professionals.
The book has the broad aim to be of value to students, safety professionals, industry specialists, part-time safety specialists in industry, line managers, private consultants, and insurance safety engineers. Each of these groups should find Petersen's book a helpful guide containing numerous tools and techniques they can effectively use.

Help for us all.......2003-07-11
"HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS AND IN-HOUSE COUNSEL SHOULD UTTER A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF. Drs. James Turner and Michael Gelles have parlayed their vast years of experience with-and extensive study of-workplace violence into A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE aptly named Threat Assessment. For those on the front line in the workplace who know that the statistical odds are high that they will be forced to deal with a threat or incident of violence, this unique book METHODICALLY LAYS OUT THE ISSUES, THE ANALYSES AND THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. The case studies-based on thousands of actual cases on which Drs. Turner and Gelles consulted-are INSTRUCTIVE AND INVALUABLE. No longer does a human resources professional have to freeze, not knowing whether s/he is facing a grave threat or simply a bluffing bully. Like conducting regular disaster or fire drills, reading this book PROVIDES THE PREPARATION ONE NEEDS to calmly but rapidly access the threat, implement the Crisis Management Plan and, hopefully, avoid catastrophe."
Book Description
Developing an Effective Safety Culture implements a simple philosophy, namely that working safely is a cultural issue. An effective safety culture will eventually lead to the desired goal of zero incidents in the work place, and this book will provide an understanding of what is needed to reach this goal. The authors present reference material for all phases of building a safety management system and ultimately developing a safety program that fits the culture.
This volume offers the most comprehensive approach to developing an effective safety culture. Information is easily accessible as the authors move first through, understanding the cost of incidents, then to perspectives and descriptions of management systems, principal management leadership traits, establishing and evaluating goals and objectives, providing visible leadership, and assigning required responsibilities. In addition, you are given the means to systematically identifying hazards and develop your own hazard inventory and control system.
Further information on OSHA requirements for training, behavior-based safety processes, and the development of a job hazard analysis for each task is available as well. Valuable case studies, from the authors' own experience in the industry, are used throughout to demonstrate the concepts presented.
* Provides the tools to rebuild or enhance a desired safety culture
* Allows you to identify a program that will fit your specific application
* Examines different philosophies in relation to safety culture development
Customer Reviews:
Outstanding resource.......2006-08-08
Author Roughton's book is remarkably clear and concise, affording a comprehensive perspective on the context and content of an effective safety culture.
Those interested in creating such a culture will understand that the emphasis on safety must become an integral part of the organization from top management to the operating worker. This book describes the path to that end, as opposed to simply describing a tool to be used and set aside.

Book Description
Enhancing situational awareness (SA) is a major design goal for projects in many fields, including aviation, ground transportation, air traffic control, nuclear power, medicine, space and systems maintenance, but little information exists in an integral format to support this. Human factors practitioners can be helped to create designs to support SA across a wide variety of domains and design issues by applying theoretical and empirical information on SA to the system design process and by using basic perception guidelines and human-computer interface guidelines. For good user interface design it is helpful to deal with SA as a whole. This requires the gestalt integration of information across a wide variety of information sources where practitioners must juggle multiple competing goals. Designing for Situation Awareness requires that designers understand how people acquire and interpret information in such worlds and appreciate the factors that undermine this process. This reduces the incidence of human error, which has been found to be due largely to failures in SA. Whereas many previous efforts have sort to deal with design at the surface feature level, SA-oriented design seeks to deal with it from the standpoint of the operator's information needs and cognitive processes. Thus it addresses design from a system's perspective.

Interface Design is a Life and Death Matter.......2007-07-26
The correspondence between this work and that of Alan Cooper (The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity and About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design) are staggering. Dr. Endsley and her co-writers rail about how a technology focus leads to poor user interfaces, and recommend a user-centered design approach including "Goal-directed Task Analysis." Alan Cooper rails about how a technology focus leads to poor user interfaces and recommends a user-focused approach he calls "Goal-Directed Design." The difference between this book and Cooper's books is the wealth of dramatic examples and underlying research in Designing for Situation Awareness.
Situation Awareness refers to the OO of the OODA loop - getting input from the environment - Observing - and understanding the significance of that input now and in the future - Orienting. It is a concept used widely in aviation, medicine, and the military - areas where life and death decisions are routinely made based on situation awareness.
One study cited in this book identifies flawed situation awareness as the root cause of 88% of aircraft crashes due to human error. In the remaining 12% the wrong decision was made or there was a problem with execution. With these sobering figures, this book lays out design guidelines to enhance situation awareness.
A formal situation awareness design approach would involve realistic prototyping and rigorous testing as you'd expect for anything related to aviation or medicine. This book provides 50 concrete design principles in six different areas to assist this formal design cycle, but as the book says: "These principles can be applied to a wide range of systems from a variety of domains where achieving and maintaining SA [Situation Awareness] is challenging."
Anyone designing interfaces to support situation awareness or quick comprehension - like performance dashboards - can learn from this book. Unlike software design examples, the examples in this book contain flight numbers and phrases like "killing all aboard" that underscore how very critical situation awareness is, and how driven the authors are to help raise the standards of design.
The only minor criticism I can level is a feeling that this book was rushed together; but with the critical importance of the topic I can see why. I look forward to the recently announced second edition.
A Must Read for Designers of Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Support Tools.......2006-10-12
This is a Should Read for anyone involved with the design of information technology to support complex problem-solving and decision-making in any setting. It's a Must Read for anyone working with highly dynamic situations or critical situation management, including emergency and disaster response. Dr. Endsley and her co-authors not only lay out a very thorough explanation of the design challenges imposed by human cognitive behaviors and limitations, but also review in depth the research that reveals these behaviors and limitations. They then present a very comprehensive set of guidelines for addressing these challenges in design.
Chapter 4 should be required reading for all user interface design practitioners and students. In this chapter, Dr. Endsley (who comes from the human factors and ergonomics field) and her colleagues lay out a much better description of the process of designing and developing user interface software than any I have seen anywhere in the human-computer interaction or software engineering literature.
This book is the result of years of exhaustive research that sets a gold standard for use-inspired basic research. It is useful to researchers as well as practitioners. I am in awe of the quality of the work and the quality of the results.

Book Description
The costs of substance abuse in the workplace are staggering. Workplace substance abuse adversely affects shareholder, the workforce, customers, and society. The employee assistance program (EAP) has demonstrated its effectiveness in combating the many types of personal problems that impair work performance. EAPs come in many forms, but each costs money. Smits and Pace provide a practical guide to help corporate decision makers construct and fund an EAP tailored to their needs. To help insure a reasonable return on the corporation's EAP investment, the authors suggest linking it strategically to other human resource programs and operating it in a businesslike manner with performance objectives, measurement systems, and accountability for agreed-upon outcomes. The investment model organizes the book into three parts and concludes with an integrative case designed to help the reader apply the concepts presented in the first ten chapters. Part I, Making the Investment, focuses on needs, options, and investment levels. It encourages the reader to think about the EAP as part of a portfolio of human resource programs linked strategically to the organization's business strategy. Part II, Managing the Investment, examines the "nuts and bolts" of the implementation and operation of the EAP. Part III, Monitoring the Investment, advocates an EAP management information system to help improve EAP efficiency and tttttttveness, to assess the return on investment, and to help guide corporate decision makers when reinvesting in their EAP.

Book Description
The challenge to improve safety at work remains a key concern of many organizations, as traditional approaches to safety in organizations have not had the anticipated impact of reducing accident rates at work. As the authors of this new book show, the existing methods of attempting to enhance safe performance have very limited efficacy. The Management of Safety reviews the main theories underlying safety management and their application to developing safe behaviour, and provides an introduction to the new behaviour-based approach to safety management and quality improvement. Throughout the text, useful examples and illustrations are included to show the need for this new approach. This book should be read by anyone with an interest in or responsibility for safety in the workplace, and by academics and students of human resource management and organizational behaviour.

Book Description
Over the years there have been several books and hundreds of articles and reports on safety, with more than three dozen journals and newsletters in English alone on this subject. Unlike other books, however, Safety Assessment gathers together vital information and presents a unified approach to current quantitative safety assessment. Previous knowledge of this subject is not necessary, since two chapters on introductory material are provided to give sufficient background. All chapters discuss topics of current interest. This book is excellent as a text for elective courses on safety for science, business, and engineering students. It is also an indispensable guide for engineers and professionals in industrial ergonomics, operations management, and production.
