Drawing on authors Dan Hopwood and Steve Thompson's combined fifty years of experience as practicing safety professionals, teachers, and business managers, Workplace Safety: A Guide for Small and Midsized Companies helps you create a Workplace Safety Plan, save money on workers' compensation insurance costs, comply with regulations, and make the workplace safer. This timely book is written with the multitasking manager and business owner of small and midsized businesses in mind and presents practical advice that facilitates making workplace safety a priority without it becoming a burden.
Recognizing that no single plan will work for every business, this guide shows you how to create a Workplace Safety Program that is directly related to your operations, the exposures that exist within it, and the controls necessary to reduce the potential for injuries and illnesses. It will help you determine an effective approach to leading your workplace safety efforts, and includes valuable resources (in the book and online) such as a needs assessment, a twelve-month safety calendar, and OSHA forms.
Key strategies and features include:
Reducing workers' compensation insurance costs and managing injuries and illness
Examples of specific safety and health considerations, hazards, and their controls
Essential information and resources for compliance with OSHA
A review of advanced topics such as Emergency Planning and Response
Choosing the right insurance agent/broker and workers' compensation insurance programs
Going beyond compliance—what are the "best safety practices" incorporated by successful companies
Enlightening feedback from top safety professionals: "Greatest Lessons Learned in Achieving Safety Success"

Workplace Safety: A Guide for Small and Midsized Companies shows you how to build a consistent and successful safety program through its user-friendly, nontechnical presentation, to enable you and your staff to efficiently grasp the relationship between injuries and illnesses and regulatory mandates and financial management.
