This book makes the case that far too much work undertaken under
the banner of 'behavioural safety' is overly person-focused. 'If
you can walk on hot coals, you can do anything - so be safe' needs
to be dismissed out of hand, but also more advanced techniques
based on coaching and empowerment fail to reflect the fact that, as
'Just Culture' models show, the great majority of causes of unsafe
behaviour are environmental. Our methodologies mustn't focus on the
person with an open mind that there may be an underlying root
cause; they must start from the statistically proven assumption
that there is an underlying cause. This shift in mindset has a
profound impact on the type of methodologies we must lead with, how
they are used, how they are perceived, and last but certainly not
least, their efficacy. A Definitive Guide to Behavioural Safety is
a one-stop guide to all of the core theories and principles that
underpin behaviour-based safety. All front-line behaviours that
lead to incidents and injury are covered by the term behavioural
safety, and getting to grips with the behaviours that might lead
people to engage in unsafe or risky behaviour is crucial to
prevention. In this book, internationally acclaimed behavioural
safety expert Tim Marsh leads the reader through the three main
strands: The awareness approach. The walk-and-talk approach. The
Six Sigma safety or the Deming-inspired 'full' approach. Going
through the very latest innovations in the field, the book covers
the systemic approach to safety observation, measurement,
intervention and analysis, but also incorporates emotional
intelligence training aimed at enhancing supervisor-worker trust
and communication more generally. A Definite Guide to Behavioural
Safety is a perfect guide for any professional, whether you're
aiming to set up an ambitious and wide-ranging behavioural safety
programme from scratch or you're looking to refresh or extend an
existing approach.
1. The first book to explicitly cover day-to-day line management
owned methodologies that cover, holistically, both safety and
health drawing on proven excellence from the former. 2. In tune
with how the world of SHE has dramatically re-orientated to become
SHW in recent years. Post-Covid challenges will add to this focus
on wellbeing and many organizations are desperate for user-friendly
material to guide their activities. 3. A unique crossover book that
developed a strong following within safety circles with the
previous editions and has now evolved to encompass health and
wellbeing.
Wellbeing is now at the top of almost everyone's agenda and many
technical books have been published on the topic. More than that,
an ever-increasing number of organisations are understanding that
getting wellbeing right is a win-win that can boost profits or
simply make sustainability viable. Organised Wellbeing: Proven and
Practical Lessons from Safety Excellence seeks to present, in a
user-friendly way, all of the key wellbeing themes. It views these
through the lessons learnt from safety excellence because, at
present, UK safety is world class but, frankly, wellbeing seldom
is. In any organisation, culture is even more important than
strategy and tactics, and training is just the base of a process in
which facilitation and embedding of key behaviours and mindsets is
the essential element. Practical and coordinated processes, not
initiatives, are required. This book, therefore, seeks to show how
aspects of wellbeing, both organisational and personal, are
inexorably interconnected. From an organisational perspective,
approaches need to address the truth that 'good work is good for
you'. This book, also an individual guide to thriving with passion,
compassion, humour and style, is essential reading for health and
safety, occupational health and HR professionals at all levels. It
is also highly recommended for all managers and staff who seek to
maximise their potential and that of their colleagues.

This middle Tennessee County was formed in 1809 out of Indian
Lands. From the year 1799, with the formation of Williamson County,
Tennessee, the most western third of what was to become Lincoln
County in 1809, was then a part of Williamson County, and so until
1807 the eastern two thirds of the area was a part of Rutherford
County. And from Dec. 3, 1807 until Nov. 14, 1809, Lincoln was the
southern half of Bedford County. These records are a potpourri of
early miscellaneous loose court records which have never been
published nor microfilmed by the State of Tennessee. These records
contain: Guardianship reports and settlements, first land deeds
called "The Clerks List," which lists many of the early Grantees
and Grantors not recorded in the regular deed index. Also included
are early Tax lists before 1830 giving the names of taxable,
acreage of deeded and Granted land plus location of same. These
miscellaneous records cover the time period of 1809 to about 1840.
For the person with lost ancestors in Lincoln county, these records
may provide the answer to long sought after forbears.
Bedford County was formed in 1807 out of Rutherford County. And in
turn, the lower half of Bedford County was cut off to form Lincoln
County in 1809. These are the oldest surviving Minutes of the
County Court (1848-1860), all minutes prior to this date were
destroyed in the Courthouse fire of 1863.
