The Professionals Guide
Getting your qualification is just the start of the safety professional’s journey towards effective workplace practice. World Class Health and Safety doesn’t repeat the whys and whats of health and safety management, instead it is a helpful how-to guide for newly qualified and experienced health and safety professionals to get the best out of their knowledge, experience and the people they work with. This book is filled with practical examples that bring the subject to life, covering the skills and techniques you need to be a leader of safety, overcome inaction and make lasting positive changes to safety performance and culture – enabling more people to go home safe every day. World Class Health and Safety teaches the reader to:
- work efficiently and effectively with senior managers and budget holders to implement the wider corporate social responsibility agenda
- emphasize the ‘value-added’ benefits of good health and safety management clearly and simply
- create effective and engaging training
- use monitoring and audits to get the best out of the resources available
World Class Health and Safety is essential reading for those wishing to invest in their own professional development, to communicate effectively and to understand and deliver safety in the wider business context, wherever in the world they might be working.
Reviews
Roz Sanderson, digital editor, SHP Online
‘He offers how-to guidelines that will enable the safety and health adviser with limited experience of working with outside training consultants, or making a cost-benefit case for an improvement initiative, or dealing with serious conflict with fellow managers to set off in the right direction, and hopefully reach good outcomes, both for the organisation and its OSH standards. This he does superbly, hence my verdict: an outstanding book; highly recommended.’
