logoAdvanced 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.
