It reveals how poor management, unchecked egos, and disregard for environmental consequences can lead to production disasters, transforming the romanticized image of filmmaking into a study of operational challenges. Drawing from production reports and firsthand accounts, the book highlights the critical role of financial planning, team leadership, and environmental responsibility.

    Despite the tremendous evolution of workplace safety, from the industrial revolution to the challenges of the 2020 global pandemic and beyond, 86% of organisations are still operating with a negative safety culture. What holds us back, trapped in a compliance-driven mindset that stifles innovation and engagement? And how can we broaden our understanding of safety to manage the physical and psychosocial risks we face today? 
The heart of the book lies in a paradigm shift – one that focuses on the presence of safety rather than its absence. This shift begins with investing in the three dimensions of the safety experience – physical, social, and psychological – to inspire safe, well and engaged brains within the workplace that create the conditions for a safe and successful, thriving business. 
Drawing from over two decades of extensive research and client engagement, the authors introduce eight principles grounded in science, presented through the enlightening real-world insights from safety professionals across diverse industries. This book provides a practical playbook for leaders at every level, offering clear, actionable steps to create a positive safety culture that delivers improved safety results and operational productivity and performance. 
Leading Positive Safety is not just a book; it is a call to action. Equip yourself with the tools to attract and retain top talent, uplift leadership capabilities, and create teams that are diverse, inclusive, and supportive. In doing so, become a great place to work where safety improvement naturally cascades into business profitability. The safety journey has evolved. It is time to make safety positive.
