Handbook of Safety Management Book

This book aims to discuss the management principles required to undertake an efficient and effective operational safety strategy and to adequately prepare the safety practitioner for his management role within an organization. It is not intended to teach those tasks required to carry out safe operation of equipment and/or procedures within a specific specialization - on the contrary, it assumes that a professional level of competence and experience will already have been gained within the readers' industry or area of employment. The author considers that in order to implement a strategy efficiently and effectively within an organization it is necessary to understand the importance of accident investigation in the work place and to use this information as part of the decision making process. Financial management, the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of remedial measures are also important considerations which develop from legal responsibilities. The book examines these issues and aims to provide the reader with an opportunity to develop further some safety management skills in practice.Read More
