Synopsis

Safety. It’s a basic human need, a workplace right, a misunderstood concept with situational importance, and a challenging word to apply. It’s also a science. To be safe, you need to know about things like electrical theory, ergonomics, and standards applicable to your work. But it doesn’t stop there. To get safety right, you must understand the art of safety: how and why to understand, lead, develop, and protect people.

That’s why Frontline Incident Prevention – The Hurdle was written. Its innovative and practical insights into the art of safety are your essential how-to guide on recognizing hurdles and developing effective run-ups to soar over them. You’ll learn how to lead and protect people rather than manage robots and please systems. You’ll also learn critical lessons about self-reliance and risk tolerance that culminate in proper application of the hierarchy of controls. Reading and applying the insights from this book will make you, your team, and your organization safer.
