Reflecting changes in the field during the ten years since the
publication of the first edition, Developing a Safety and Health
Program, Second Edition examines the elements of a safety and
health program and delineates how to incorporate them into an
organization s safety efforts. It begins by defining safety policy
and providing an overview of OSHA and other regulatory agencies. It
covers hazard communication safety training and describes how to
write material safety data sheets, how to maintain a good fire loss
control program, and procedures for developing an emergency
response plan.
The Second Edition includes:
- Changes all companies must make to be proactive in their
security in the wake of 9/11 and the creation of the department of
homeland security
- Additional coverage of labels, signs, and placards; the
national incident management system; and homeland security
- Updated information on safety, hazardous materials management,
and accident investigation
- New information on fire loss control programs, emergency
response plans, and personal protective equipment
- Changes in regulations and standards within the safety, health,
and environmental management industry
- Discussion of how advanced management concepts such as
participated management can improve preventative programs and
decrease the risk of cumulative trauma disorders
The book discusses how to reduce equipment-related injuries
through more advanced lockout/tagout procedures and safety
checklists to ensure that everything is covered. The author
addresses the special considerations important in planning for
disasters and terrorist attacks. He provides the basic knowledge of
OSHA, NFPA, and other regulations needed to assist and define what
an enterprise must have when developing a program with the
different elements of safety. Each chapter contains questions to
test comprehension of the material.
An ongoing safety and health program can assist a plant in
preventing huge losses, including physical damage and loss of
productivity. The pressure to effect these changes has increased in
light of the current emphasis on risk management and OHSA s
willingness to penalize various enterprises for safety violations.
Unlike other books on this topic, this one goes into the nitty
gritty details, with thorough explanations of how to implement a
program and the key components needed whether updating an existing
program or constructing a new one.
