Zero to Culture: A Step by Step Guide to Implementing an Employee-Oriented Safety Management System equips students with the knowledge and leadership skills required to effectively build, maintain, and model a culture of safety within a business or organization. The book guides readers through each step of the implementation process to ensure a well-constructed system and maximum impact. The book begins with a chapter that explains the vital role of leadership in establishing safety culture. Later chapters explore how to structure a safety management system, conduct a hazard inventory, and construct a three-tiered hazard recognition program. Students learn about emergency planning, prevention, and response, as well as how to build an investigations initiative. Dedicated chapters address behavior-based and human factors initiatives, and the book concludes with a section that explains how to ensure a safety program meets ISO 45001 standards.
