Opis

Adopting a strategic approach to risk management can maximize competitiveness and profitability. Total Safety and Productivity approaches offer managers a set of methods and tools to apply a Total Safety Management (TSM) philosophy to achieve this. A professional approach to risk and safety management requires, as with all management systems, goal setting, planning and the measurement of performance. A safety management system that is woven holistically into the fabric of an organization becomes part of the culture, the way people do their jobs, and helps ensure that issues are correctly prioritized and managed as they emerge. The capability to anticipate, assess and plan for risks associated with future operations is a critical success factor, for enterprises of all types and sizes. For SMEs in particular, the ability to risk assess actual operations with an easy to apply, resilient methodology can offer significant benefits in terms of their capacity to improve safety and performance. This book describes approaches that can be used alone or jointly to improve safety management in any organisation. The methods are based on academic best practice and have been developed by leading experts, but are presented here in a practical way for application in industry by non-experts.
