Reviews

[Fred Fanning]

This is the second edition of my book Basic Safety Administration. This book explains to collateral-additional duty safety specialists how a company or organization's safety program should be established and maintained. The book covers both situations that collateral-additional duty safety specialists may find themselves with an existing safety program as well as establishing a new program. This edition includes update text and a new chapter on security.

Easy to read. Clear and concise with numerous appendices to help build a program. Seems to hit all the highlights.
