Safely Working from the Ground Up

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!
