Productive Safety Management
By Tania Mol
Unlike most books on this subject, Productive Safety Management, described in this book, integrates occupational health and safety, human resource management, environmental management, and engineering to provide a whole-business approach to effective safety management.
The book helps companies to reduce and manage risk by providing, analysing and improving systems in place within the company. It also looks at how external factors can affect company decision making and provides a tool to make sure that a health and safety management system is strategically aligned, appropriately resourced, and that it maximises employee commitment. Chapters on human resource management explore cultural issues and explain how to gain commitment to company objectives.
Advanced Safety Management: Focusing on Z10 and Serious Injury Prevention
By Fred A. Manuele, PE, CSP
The ANSI/AIHA Z10 Standard. "Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems" which was approved in July 2005 focuses on reducing hazards, the risks that derive from hazards, safety management systems and process deficiencies, and on identifying opportunities for improvement. Mr. Manuele not only examines the Standard in detail in the relation to other Standards, best practices, and important publications in the field. The author focuses on the following provisions of the standard in detail:
- Risk assessment and prioritization
- Applying a prescribed hierarchy of controls to achieve acceptable risk levels
- Safety design reviews
- Including safety requirements in procurement and contracting papers
- Management of change systems
A number of addendums are provided, including, "Legal Perspectives--ANSI Z10-2005 Standard"; "Mathematical Evaluations for Controlling Hazards," and "Management of Change Policy and Procedures."
Crisis Leadership: Planning for the Unthinkable
By Ian Mitroff, Ph.D
From product defects to environmental disasters--almost every day a new corporate crisis hits the headlines—and in most cases, the results are disastrous. According to Mitroff, this signals the need for crisis leadership. In this book, Mitroff focuses on the need to prevent a crisis before it occurs, rather than merely put the best possible spin on the aftermath. He shares the factors and forces to be considered to implement effective, proactive leadership, and shows how various corporate functions can interact to respond to crises and minimize their occurrence. In addition, he discusses the role of emotional IQ in handling, responding to and preparing for a crisis.
