Alive and Well at the End of the Day: The Supervis or’s Guide to Managing Safety in Operations, Secon d Edition

The Second Edition of Alive and Well at the End of the Day is written to provide industrial leaders in operations practical solutions to the tough safety leadership challenges they must manage. The book describes in detail the nature of those challenges - what makes them that tough - and offers proven best practices to successfully deal with them. The practices described in the book come from the author’s first-hand observation of leaders in operations who were great at leading and managing safety performance. These best practices are defined and described in detail, allowing the reader to immediately and successfully put them into practice. In addition to providing what to do and how to do that for effective safety leadership, the book also explains how it works and why to do it that way. In that way, the book provides insight and understanding in addition to effective practices.

The book’s contents are organized in a way that allows the reader the ability to match up chapters with specific challenges they are facing. That allows the busy leader to focus on specific problems and practices. Extensive updates throughout address global examples, safety culture, organization power, and applied best practices. There is also a separate Study Guide that offers the reader a way to self-evaluate their use of these practices with their leaders. Used together, the book and the study guide offer a powerful process to improve the supervisor’s practice of safety leadership.
