I was first introduced to the book while providing consulting services (for the company who I now work for) at one of their customer's locations. The particular customer provides a copy of the book to all contractors doing business at their site!

I have been in the field of safety for approximately 15 years; 6 years with a Japanese Company, 7 years with a major Lift Truck manufacturer, 1 ½ years with the State of Ohio, and approximately 6 months with my current employer dealing with Construction, Crane & Rigging, Maintenance, etc. This is the first book dealing with safety that I could not put down; I had to read the entire book in one sitting!

I have taught behavioral safety and found that most of the items I have covered in training were in this book. It is the perfect book for everyone from top management to a newly hired employee to read. I am a member of the Society of Ohio Safety Engineers and I took Safety 24/7 to a meeting with me, briefed the members on it and strongly recommended that they all get copies. We (PSC) purchased several copies of the book and are in the process of giving copies to all of our supervisors. We have had several employees read the book, write summaries of the book and indicate how building an incident-free culture is beneficial to their workplace. Our goal is to have all employees who work for us, go through this - on our time!

We have provided copies to some of our customers to help impress upon them how strongly we feel about safety! I just can't say enough good things about the material covered in the book! I must also tell you that when the owner's of PSC came to me to ask me to come work for them I told them they had to do two things; 1) Support me in "safety" and be actively involved and 2) Read Safety 24/7!

Thank you so much for the wonderful book! It goes beyond what a safety professional can teach! I am looking forward to a sequel!

Good book, easy read. Makes you think that zero injuries and accidents are possible (and they are). Just work at it 24/7...

I was looking for a book to share with a newly formed safety committee. I purchased this book last week, read it, and immediately ordered five more copies so that I could give one to all of the team members. The story is well written and while it does not provide all of the answers to how to create a safe environment it lays the groundwork for how to build a safety culture. The book is thought provoking and left me feeling energized and excited about the prospect of creating a safe environment for our employees. I have no doubt that the conversation generated by this book in our next meeting will be well worth the investment.

The book is definitely a book that I would recommend all people in the safety field read. The book takes a real practical approach to obtaining a true safety culture within your organization...which we all know can be quite challenging.

Safety 24/7 is an exceptional book regarding the requirements for a safety culture. I dog eared 18 pages for quick review and reference and I read it in one sitting. I commend the authors for showing a process for getting to a culture that recognizes and embraces safety first. Thanks to them for showing the hurdles and how to get over them when developing a safety program. Great book. I will recommend that my company buy multiple copies for our people to read.

Bought 30 books for my safety team. Highly recommended especially for newbies to safety. The main character speaks to the newbies challenges.

This book provides us the basic fundamentals that every managers and supervisors must read and implement to achieve the target of zero incidents.

All the stuffs as suggested in this book are essential elements that to develop and nurture a positive safety culture.

What it does not cover is how to handling incidents in a positive manner.

Very good book and very enjoyable to read. This book show the fundamental element of a good safety culture. You can achieve an incident-free culture only if you put safety into your heart (leaders' heart)and the heart of a company (core value of the company). And than the leader should implement this principle in every aspects of his/her decision & behavior, and than he/she should communicate it to every person in the company. Bravo to both writer.

Whether you are new to the safety and occupational health field, or a seasoned professional, this book is a good read. Encourages you to take a look at the way you approach the attitudes and behavior of those around you. Take your safety program to the next level, read this short book and apply it to your life.

This book provides a basic understanding of how a Safety culture changes for the positive. It has fundamental concepts that can be easily grasped with a few good tools to make these concepts become reality. It has been embraced by many companies serious about making a paradigm shift in their Safety Culture. It is an easy read, but one that the reader will return to for refrence as they follow the concepts. It isn't just written for the middle manager to read, but for supervisors, employees , Safety Committees, upper management, etc. It is not a silver bullet, but certainly a good tool to keep in your toolbox and use.
