Updated and Expanded 2nd Edition Originally published in 2016, Safely Working From the Ground Up was written for employers trying to figure out where to start when implementing workplace safety. The guidance provided does not require hiring or retaining a Safety Professional. It is based on the concepts of Safely Working, Safe 6, and Sensible Care all developed by "The Safely Working Project." With renewed enthusiasm I have prepared this second edition which has been significantly expanded. Besides updating Safe 6 with "Engage" I have added twenty Safe 6 Briefs covering the most common tasks and activities in the workplace. I have introduced the Safe 6 Notebook as the second most important tool in the Safely Working System toolbox. (Safe 6 is the most important!) A simple example used to show how the Notebook is prepared and applied in Safely Working Decision-Making. This new edition of "Safely Working From the Ground Up" is more than a revision. The added content provides important information supporting the various concepts and guidance introduced in the book. I know it will be even more useful than the original. Remember, safety is science and management, Safely Working is a Value!

A new, critical biography of enigmatic French theorist, writer, actor and artist Antonin Artaud examining Artaud's work in relation to his life, as well as the many influential figures he came into contact with.

David Shafer's acclaimed Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: A brilliant, visionary and deeply human cyber-thrillerDeep in the forest near Burma's border with China, a young woman sees something she wasn't supposed to see.In Portland, Oregon, a troubled young man crashes his bicycle on his way to work - and then gets fired.In New York, a famous self-help author goes on daytime TV - and suddenly conceives 'a book that would take him beyond talk shows'.What connects these three people - though they don't know it yet - is that they have come to the attention of the Committee, a global cabal that seeks to privatize all information. And each of them will, in their different ways, come to take part in the secret resistance struggle spearheaded by a scarily clever hacktivist collective - a struggle built on radical politics, classic spycraft and eye-popping technology. Along the way, they are forced to confront their own demons, reconsider their values, and contemplate the meaning of love, family, friendship and community. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is at once a page-turning thriller, a deeply absorbing psychological novel, and a visionary exploration of the possibilities and hazards of our online lives.'A paranoid, sarcastic and clattering pop thriller that reads as if it were torn from the damp pages of Glenn Greenwald's fever journal ... Reading [Shafer's] prose is like popping a variant of the red pill in The Matrix: everything gets a little crisper' New York Times'Genius techno- thriller la Neal Stephenson, powered by social-media info-conspiracy la Dave Eggers' Time'A stylish, absorbing, sharply modern hybrid of techno-thriller and psychodrama that bristles with wit and intellect' Maggie Shipstead, author of Seating Arrangements'A fine example of what happens when big, brainy ideas are successfully mated with good old-fashioned plot thrust ... The next time the Fiction is Dead brigade demand to know why novels deserve a place in popular culture, the constant reader might well cite this book as Exhibit A for the defence' Irish Times'Exciting, funny, moving and thought-provoking' Irish Independent
