5.0 out of 5 stars Success through failures, August 21, 2001
By 
Patrick J Bonnett (Susanville, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Industrial Operator's Handbook (Hardcover)
The Industrial Operator's Handbook should be part of every industrial operations training program. The focus of this book is failure analysis and preventative procedures. Training, communication, the art of turnovers, and the importance of building a strong team are all covered. Employee's find the book easy to read because they can relate to the conditions that lead to accidents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proven Operational Strategies Ripped from the Headlines, April 19, 2007
By 
The Garage "Dave" (Stratford, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Industrial Operator's Handbook (Hardcover)
Howlett uses familiar incidents to demonstrate proven operational strategies. The author explains the failures that led to accidents at Three Mile Island, the Exxon-Valdez, Chernobyl, Titanic and others. More importantly he explains what is needed to avoid similar tragedies in your own operations. It's the industrial operators bible.
