I had an opportunity to read this book and found it immediately helpful. I was able to utilize the concepts to help me understand and resolve an issue in our workplace totally unrelated to a safety issue. Although aimed at safety the material, concepts and exercises are universal in nature and transferable to a wide variety of operational and organizational initiatives. It may be the Safety component that initially attracts you to this book, but you will find yourself employing these concepts in a variety of work and life situations.
The techniques in The Art of Safety will revolutionize the way safety programs are delivered. Every professional and safety representative needs a copy of this book.
I was blown away by how easy it is to make little changes that revolutionized our safety performance.
Being a construction safety professional, I often need creative ways to promote safety. This book will become my recommended must read for both front line supervisors and project management. The material comes across in an interesting way that both can relate to, take something from, and use.
Would that I had Gary’s book years ago. Many health and safety meetings I attended over the years would have been shorter, more effective, and, in fact, enjoyable. This guidebook could have spared me many hours of frustration.
The Art of Safety seamlessly blends advanced communication concepts into the world of occupational safety. A treasure trove of practical tools for every practitioner.
Practical! Readable! Insightful! A breath of fresh air for everyone involved in health and well being, in any workplace on the planet.
I’ve asked our WSIB library to buy your book, and I’m using your techniques in my communication at work and at home. Thank you!
