Workplace safety has never been seen as sexy, clever or cool.
Fraught with legislative hurdles, ambiguous policy and complex
procedures, despite its alleged importance safety has lost its way.
For many organisations safety is seen as burdensome and
bureaucratic and has become little more than paperwork and
performance charts: things done in fear of persecution - from the
authorities, the media or the civil arena - rather than doing the
right thing. To change the game and build real risk literacy, it's
vital to make things easier, to strip things back to basics and
think again about how we work. This is Naked Safety. Encouraging
the reader to step outside their comfort zone, this book
demystifies workplace safety, challenging traditional views and
catalysing critical thought and high-impact action. With narratives
on the central pillars of workplace safety including risk
management; legal frameworks; performance; governance; leadership
and culture, as well as perspectives on key issues that affect
safety - and business - more broadly, such as worker wellbeing;
employee engagement; the impact of globalisation; corporate social
responsibility; sustainability and the role of the safety
practitioner, Naked Safety features over 100 actions to bring about
positive, sustainable organisational change. This book is a useful,
multi-purpose guide for professionals; an indispensable toolkit for
practitioners, business leaders, and anyone with an interest in
workplace risk and Occupational Safety and Health. Let's get Naked!
As leaders increasingly understand the importance of good safety
practice to support their business objectives, safety and health
practitioners develop better tools and solutions. However, there is
still a gulf between these two groups where engagement,
communication and shared understanding can be found lacking. From
Accidents to Zero opens up the field of safety culture and breaks
it down into bite-sized pieces to facilitate new, critical thought
and inspire practical action. Based on the concept of creating
safety, as opposed to just preventing accidents, each of the 26
chapters in this user-friendly book includes explanation,
commentary, reflections and practical activities designed to
systematically and sustainably improve workplace safety culture.
Core topics range from behaviour to values, daily rituals to unsafe
acts, felt leadership to trust. Andrew Sharman's practical guide
blends current academic thinking with authoritative guidance and
sets up the opportunity for all parts of the organization to close
the gap by providing very clear steps to thinking and acting
differently. It sparks insight into how both traditional methods
and novel approaches can be brought to life in real world
situations. From Accidents to Zero offers a clear route to culture
change through over one hundred pragmatic ideas to motivate and
lead people, influence behaviour and drive a positive evolution in
workplace safety.
