The Safety Leadership Handbook for Supervisors is an easy to read practical guide for those at the frontline who have the responsibility for workplace safety. The supervisor's role can be a difficult one to fulfil and often involves juggling different balls in the air. The pressure of operational and production requirements is ever present in many workplaces and can impact the way in which the supervisor views and approaches safety. A key to overcoming this is for supervisors to be given the skills and knowledge around safety leadership and for them to understand the enormous influence they can have in creating and sustaining a workplace free of injury and harm. The 10 Point Safety Leadership Manifesto for Supervisors has been developed to assist supervisors in this cause.

A safe work place takes a coordinated effort on the part of all employees. Senior leaders establish safety-oriented vision and values, middle managers put into effect safety management systems, procedures, and accountability, and frontline employees complete the work as safely as possible. Frontline supervisors have perhaps the most crucial role¿they are the "linchpins" of safety. This book gives supervisors practical tools to improve their safety management and safety leadership.

LEAD Safety concentrates on self-development and education in safety leadership. It takes safety leadership in an exciting new direction, with practical tools that will give organisations the skills they need to make a difference in their safety program. The book provides a non-technical overview of safety leadership and outlines the core skills safety managers should demonstrate and practice. Organisations will see improvements in engagement, morale, trust, and motivation in the workplace. Readers will gain an appreciation of a new and evidence-based safety leadership model, as well as formulate a personalized action plan to improve safety in their workplace.

At the core of The Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership are eight beliefs about human nature that are common to leaders who successfully communicate that safety is important while meeting business results. Using stories and business language the book explains how to create and recover important stakeholder relationships by setting priorities and taking action based on these beliefs. The beliefs are based on the author’s 25 years of experience supporting operational and safety leaders with successful and unsuccessful change efforts in pharmaceutical, nuclear, mining, manufacturing and power generation. The author also offers compelling evidence from many social and scientific disciplines that support the conclusion that satisfying our need for relationship is a major motivator. The Five Orientations Model offers a perspective on solving complex problems when confronted with multiple demands. The book provides managers and supervisors with the motivation to build relationships and points to the conditions needed for success. It also describes a process to take united action but retain the flexibility to change course as necessary. The book is written for managers and leaders, at all levels, concerned with occupational health and safety, and wishing to learn how to leverage relationships to achieve higher employee engagement and performance.
