Publisher's Synopsis
"Petersen's Safety Supervision discusses the various aspects of supervision in the occupational safety and health (OSH) field. The book espouses the concept of human and organizational performance. Rather than being an esoteric look at high-level theory, this text aims to define reality--what's going on, what works, and what doesn't work in safety supervision. Chapters examine the supervisor's job, the dynamics of supervision, key safety and health tasks, various techniques that work--coaching, investigating incidents and root causes, hazard identification, today's safety and health philosophy, industrial hygiene and health, and safety leadership at the executive level"--.
