Safety by Objectives What Gets Measured and Rewarded Gets Done
Second Edition Dan Petersen One of the nation's leading consultants
in the field of safety management and organizational behavior has
updated and expanded this groundbreaking work. Providing new
insight into ensuring increased safety in the workplace, no matter
what the organizational style of the company, Safety by Objectives
demonstrates how accountability drives better safety performance.
The author shows how to devise, install, operate, and maintain
tailor-made accountability systems that will foster a sense of
safety responsibility, first in upper and middle managers and
finally throughout the entire organization, thereby reducing
on-the-job injuries and illnesses. The Second Edition demonstrates
that measuring accident prevention efforts and rewarding effective
safety performance are the foundation of any successful safety
system. Drawing from modern management concepts, including Total
Quality Management, Statistical Process Control, and Management by
Objectives, it provides essential guidance on how to
* Analyze and understand the corporation's individual culture
* Assess current safety systems using audits and perception surveys
* Identify the hazards that cause injuries and illnesses
* Set safety objectives and evaluate whether they have been met
* Establish rewards for meeting safety performance goals
* Overcome the pitfalls that traditionally doom accountability systems
The key to a flexible and results-producing safety system, Safety by Objectives should be part of the working library of every safety manager, safety engineer, industrial hygienist, and environmental professional.
