 The Participation Factor-
How to Increase Involvement in Occupational Safety

E. Scott Geller, Ph.D.

Dr. Scott Geller wrote this book based on the belief that too many safety articles and books approach the human or psychology side of safety from the "common sense" perspective-which research shows is often biased and leads to the wrong results. What safety slogans are more appropriate? What kinds of incentive/reward programs could increase participation? And what safety performance metrics should we use to increase positive stress rather than negative stress (or distress), and thereby encourage empowerment and involvement? In answering these questions, Dr. Geller debunks many of the myths behind the "common sense" approach to improving participation. Included is a new Social Influence Survey (SIS) designed to teach the social dynamics of safety. Selected Chapters include:

Performance Management, Third Edition

Aubrey C. Daniels, Ph.D.

“Performance Management” is a systematic, data-oriented approach to managing people at work that relies on positive reinforcement. In Dr. Daniels’ experience, few companies use systematic, scientifically-based management systems to improve employee performance. In this book, he explains how to use planned, positive consequences that are contingent upon desired performance, and that are clearly understood to be the result of such performance. Dr. Daniels explains how to define measurable units of behavior, and to provide feedback to all employees at all levels.

PPE Made Easy: A comprehensive checklist approach to selecting and using Personal Protective Equipment

Jeffrey O. Stull

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a principal means of protecting workers from hazardous situations–such as falling objects, corrosive chemicals, fire, dangerous gases, and noise. But using faulty or improper equipment can cause serious injury or illness or death. PPE Made Easy presents the only comprehensive, risk-assessment, checklist approach to PPE selection for industrial and fire-protection applications. It identifies the hazards your workers face, helps select the right equipment from the range of PPE products available, and provides practical advice on the use and care of PPE.

“This book is a great tool in assisting with the formation, improvement, update, or audit of a PPE program.”—Kenneth Roth, CSP, CHMM

Preparing for the Voluntary Protection Programs: Building your Star program

Margaret R. Richardson

The demand for information on the Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) is rapidly expanding. Set up to promote excellence in safety and health management, these prestigious government programs now boast more than 400 participating worksites. VPP participants have achieved a rate of serious injuries that is 60 percent below industry averages, along with reduced insurance costs and greatly increased productivity.

Written by a VPP expert and one of the original developers of these OSHA programs, this timely “how to” book gives safety and health professionals all the information they need to qualify for VPP consideration as well as renew their participation for years to come. Ms. Richardson clearly outlines the benefits of the program, offers advice on how to win support from both management and labor, and presents a complete set of tools for building a successful VPP Star program—one that meets all of the VPP criteria. The book includes step-by-step instructions for the VPP application; firsthand accounts by successful applicants; and quick, in-depth tests for assessing a worksite based on VPP criteria.

Safety Culture and Effective Safety Management
George Swarz, Editor

Safety Culture and Effective Safety Management is a compilation of readings about safety cultures and how they function in specific organizations. This collection examines what a safety culture is, what elements within an organization influence a safety culture, and new and traditional methods to bring about culture change. With downsizing, rightsizing, and an apparently less active EPA and OSHA, it is vital to build cultures with strong values that also allow for effective management and employee participation. Many important industries are discussed, including mining, refineries, shipping, manufacturing, chemical industry, and advanced technologies.

Topics include:

Case studies of effective safety management from such major companies as DuPont, AlliedSignal, Midas International, John Deere, and Livermore Laboratories are also included.

Dan Petersen

A completely updated edition of a text used by both professionals in the field and students and instructors in the classroom for more than 30 years. This longevity is a result of the author's wide-ranging scholarship and ability to synthesize the writings of many safety professionals based on Dr. Petersen's long experience as a safety consultant and safety educator.

Written as a companion book to Safety Management-A Human Approach, the fourth edition contains a wealth of new material on important topics ranging from behavioral approaches to safety, to accident analysis, cost containment, benchmarking, types of safety metrics, accountability systems, ergonomics, workers compensation, and workplace violence. Measurement of safety performance-"the key to accountability" according to Dr. Petersen-is discussed in detail. Numerous checklists and sample forms are included throughout.

"Dan Petersen has made enormous contributions to occupational safety and health and this fourth edition of Techniques of Safety Management continues the tradition."

Ed Adams

Mr. Adams takes a visionary approach to the problem of accident reduction by proposing management organizational changes which, if implemented successfully, will lead to the reduction of occupational hazards. Adams recognizes that the changes call for fundamental alterations in traditional management and supervisory reporting systems, and views these changes through the perspective of TQM principles, resulting in the elimination of all types of wasted resources at all levels.

Adams' breakthrough is to apply TQM principles to accident causation theories based on the accidental release of energy. In doing so, he found that the risk analysis tool developed by W.G. Johnson, the Management Oversight Risk Tree (MORT), started with the same fundamental assumption: management planning or operational oversights are the source of 85% or more of the system variations resulting in accidents.

Adams provides a detailed step-by-step analysis of how the MORT can be used to effectively create a bridge between management at all levels and the general work force, leading to a system-wide reduction in hazards. Fundamental to this analysis, as the author explains, is the necessity that management adopt the new system based on principles of responsibility and accountability, principles first enumerated and applied to business models developed by Peter F. Drucker at New York University.
