Safety is not easy, it is a full time effort and is equally important whether people are on the job or on personal time. If an organization is serious about mission success, it must take "risk" seriously as well. Leaders need to be involved in the risk game at every turn and understand the key elements (discussed throughout this book) that help them to win. Winning the risk game is what safety is all about. As in operational success, risk management requires the best human faculties to achieve victory; talent of organizational players and commitment from top leadership rule the day. This book is a broad-brush overview of the key elements, or tools, for leadership to use to manage risk effectively. Often, managers at various levels do not have an understanding of what goes into a safety programme, this book tells them, from an expert's view. It is also a supplemental textbook for safety and risk management courses.
