Safety Culture Plus

I attended several safety conferences this year speaking on various topics. I usually give away a book at each presentation. However, this year I decided to ask anyone who wanted a chance to win a book to sign up at either website http://ow.ly/x2je or http://ow.ly/x2jA by Dec 1, 2009. You could register at both sites if you wish, as the first site has many safety links and the second site is my blog.

I will have a drawing from all those who have registered since June 2009 and pick 3 winners. The winner will have a choice of the book that they which to receive:

I have provided the link to Amazon, so if you would like to review the content and reviews of these books you can. Just click on the book and you will go directly to Amazon.  You feedback is also appreciated.

Remember, you must register at either website http://ow.ly/x2je or http://ow.ly/x2jA by Dec 1, 2009 to win.

If you are not a member of the Linkedin safety training group, http://ow.ly/x2kw or social networking 101 group http://ow.ly/x2lw, you are welcome to join. It is all FREE. If you are also member of these sites, pass along this information to others.

You can also follow me on twitter @jamesroughton or @safeday

Enjoy!! If you have any questions you can contact me at jr@gotsafety.net. I enjoy networking opportunities.

I had the privilege of making a presentation to the ASSE Chapter on a number of thoughts and ideas from the Job Hazard Analysis book published with James Roughton (Who manages this great safety blog site!).

We believe that the Job Hazard Analysis should be the centerpiece of the safety program.   How does this fit into a Safety Culture?  As I see it, developing a safety culture, shifting from a priority based effort to values based environment requires presenting to leadership a valid, documented reason to make the shift.  Without some methodology that clearly makes the case for change, management cannot and will not in most cases spend budget or time on what it might view as  extra effort with no real return on investment.  Using risk management techniques and a structured JHA\approach increases your probability for success – not a guarantee, but increased chance to get the support needed.
