Description
Leading safety authority E. Scott Geller has changed the way many corporations-large and small alike-approach workplace safety and accident/injury prevention. His effective "psychology of safety" can now be shared with your students, in Working Safe: How to Help People Actively Care for Health and Safety.
The success of any corporate safety program relies on continuous involvement and participation from all employees. Working Safe's advice provides future health and safety professionals with behavioral science-inspired methods to reduce at-risk behavior, ensure safety awareness, and facilitate ongoing cooperation.
While Working Safe is primarily aimed at workplace environments, Geller's knowledge can be applied to all aspects of daily life-making safety a priority in any situation.
