Changing the Workplace Safety Culture

Changing the Workplace Safety Culture by Ron C. McKinnon. This book demonstrates how changing how an organization views and practices safety will impact the behavior of all employees, including executives and line managers. This is not a book about behavior-based safety, but a guideline on how to establish a long-lasting integrated safety culture in an organization. It is about changing the safety personality at workplaces. A shift in safety culture, therefore, is the most effective ongoing key to safety success.
