Opis

This book describes why OEHS
professionals should develop leading measures and then provides tools these
professionals need to develop leading safety measures in their own
organizations. The existing problems with trailing safety measures described
will enable safety professionals to articulate the measurement issues related
to these indicators with upper management in their organizations. Definitions
and examples of leading measures, consistent with information provided by
reputable associations and standards organizations, such as the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Industrial Hygiene
Association (AIHA) are provided. The book focuses on explaining how managing
safety processes and the development and implementation of good safety
measures, is both an art and a science.
Case studies are included to illustrate successful strategies as well as
lessons learned.
