    Do you want to make a difference?  
    Perhaps there is no leadership responsibility more profound than creating a sustainable, injury-free workplace. 
    Achieving an injury-free environment is one of the most difficult problems many leaders face. Indeed, during 35 years in manufacturing I never discovered a singular solution to this challenge.  
    In my experience, organizations with the best safety performances do not have a secret. They simply do a lot of small things collectively and strategically well. 
    This book is a collection of leadership concepts, thoughts, words, and actions that can move your organization toward a better safety future.  
    The first section of the book reviews fundamental concepts everyone who is striving to achieve safety excellence should understand. 
    The core of the book reviews key research findings in social psychology and sociology as they apply to safety. I share personal experiences of highly effective leadership. And I recount other situations that exemplify the wrong approach. In each case, I discuss how you can leverage these concepts in a practical way to improve your safety leadership skills.  
    At the end of each chapter, there is a segment called the SAFETY LEADER'S TOOLBOX. This toolbox contains over 70 practical tools and tips for being a more effective safety leader! Readers are encouraged to consult this toolbox for small changes in what you think, say, and do to shape your safety culture. 
    Where do you begin? Start with a "Why" of caring. If you start with caring as your personal motive, you won't have to do everything perfectly. Your employees will want to do the right things for the right reasons. 
    I teach an online course based on the concepts from this book. Visit safetywalksafetytalk.com/course to learn more.
