Publisher Description
An industry professional for over 30 years, Rod hopes to help others learn from his mistakes and avoid the “Safety Cop” mentality.
The process of authoring The 8 Habits of a Highly Effective Safety Culture began in 2004 and has taken numerous years to develop the courage to put pen to paper. All cultures evolve and a safety culture is no different. These eight habits will change as industries change and as people change. However, six of the eight habits remain the same today as in 2004. The two habits that did evolve, #6 and #7, were due to progress in Human Performance Based programs.
This book assembles all the information you need to create a just and sustainable safety culture all in one place. The goal is to make it safe for your employees to fail, because failure is inevitable as long as humans are involved.

MUST Reading!
The 8 Principles are not new but Rod has put them in an easy to read presentation that I found difficult to put down. If I ran the world I would have every senior executive, director and manager read this book. Rod uses real life, understandable lessons of success and failures to make his points sing with authenticity. He has traveled the path and learned the process. This is must reading for anyone who claims safety as their responsibility. Well done sir. For those who pay attention this book could be a game changer!
