The field of safety consulting is not saturated, and this book will help you understand how to set yourself apart from other consultants by starting off with a solid foundation. Once that foundation is set, the book guides you in some creative tactics that worked for the author with prompts on how to make the strategies work for you.
We hear it all the time: “Sorry, it was just an accident.” And we’ve been deeply conditioned to just accept that explanation and move on. But as Jessie Singer argues convincingly: There are no such things as accidents. The vast majority of mishaps are not random but predictable and preventable. Singer uncovers just how the term “accident” itself protects those in power and leaves the most vulnerable in harm’s way, preventing investigations, pushing off debts, blaming the victims, diluting anger, and even sparking empathy for the perpetrators.
This book is your chance to learn from a total safety nerd on how to keep yourself, friends, family, and colleagues safer at work, home, the lake, the roads, wherever you may roam. It’s not an extensive manual, because safety isn’t that f*cking hard (credit episode 000 of the Safety Justice League podcast). This book is my encouragement to you to listen to your own internal voice and nurture The Safety Habit that’s been there all along.
This book was inspired by the COVID lockdown and contains some references to COVID that were current as of July 2020.
Thank you to James Altucher for providing the nudge to write this book during a 30-day book challenge!

The Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership: Achieving Success through Employee Engagement 1st Edition
by Rosa Antonia Carrillo
At the core of The Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership are eight beliefs about human nature that are common to leaders who successfully communicate that safety is important while meeting business results. Using stories and business language the book explains how to create and recover important stakeholder relationships by setting priorities and taking action based on these beliefs.
The beliefs are based on the author’s 25 years of experience supporting operational and safety leaders with successful and unsuccessful change efforts in pharmaceutical, nuclear, mining, manufacturing and power generation. The author also offers compelling evidence from many social and scientific disciplines that support the conclusion that satisfying our need for relationship is a major motivator.
