This book provides a collection of 28 writings from Scott Geller's regular column in "Industrial Safety and Hygiene News," from Geller's associates at Safety Performance Solutions, and from the American Society of Safety Engineers' annual conferences. Organized into seven chapters, these writings examine real-world examples of successful behavior-based safety programs. Readers will discover tips on how to measure safety performance, how to get workers to care about safety, and how to better assess and coach safety performance using specific behavior-based tools. Readers will also find in-depth discussions on achieving a Total Safety Culture using such tools and techniques as actively caring, self-management, behavior-based observation and feedback, improved communication skills, measured safety performance, increased safety leadership, and maximized behavior-based safety efforts.
