Book Description

July 15, 1999
Serious incidents affect a company's most important and most visible measures of performance, including profitability and company image. Unfortunately, prevention of accidents often garners low visibility and often even low priority. Many companies invest the minimum effort required to meet regulations and make changes only after an expensive and devastating crisis.

Real improvement takes place when prevention becomes a high priority. This is your guide to creating a proactive, effective prevention process. This book presents a model showing you how to systematically identify and execute the steps needed to make your operations incident-free. Its team-based approach draws every level of the organization into the effort. Follow this roadmap to a safer, more prosperous plant by preventing serious incidents
