Synopsis

SAFETY IS THE CORNERSTONE for excellent operations, but it is often marginalized and relegated to dense handbooks that are ignored by employees. James T. Schultz and Brian L. Fielkow instead offer a straightforward how-to guide for maximizing organizational performance through safety leadership. They demonstrate why safety must be a core value engrained into the rhythms of every task. Jim and Brian show how to bring people and process together in full alignment to provide a definitive competitive advantage.

Leading People Safely is packed with succinct, savvy know-how for implementing a culture of safety, punctuated with easy-to-skim lists and textboxes, and uses on-the-ground examples supplied from Jim and Brian's combined seventy-plus years of experience.

Applicable for businesses of any size or industry, Leading People Safely is a must read for leaders looking to create a safe and successful business with a healthy corporate culture.

About this title

From the Author

As former colleagues in a safety-sensitive business and as safety practitioners, we have seen it all--from massive safety failures to inspiring safety results. We decided to write this book to share our own experiences and help business leaders understand that safety is not a cost; it is an investment. In fact, it is the lowest-cost, highest-return investment a business can make. By investing in your safety culture, you are investing in your employees, and an engaged employee base is the best way to provide an unparalleled customer experience.

Having the opportunity to collaborate on this book was one we both immediately wanted to take on. So often we see safety pushed to the backburner, which ultimately can have great costs--from minor accidents to the loss of a life. Inspired by our own experiences, we decided to share what we've seen works--and what doesn't work--in an effort to inspire, motivate and give others the tools they need to create a world-class safety culture.
