The gap between knowing and doing is much greater than the gap between knowing and not knowing. The battle for a safe workplace will only be won when every employee is actively engaged in closing the gap between knowing and doing.
The current American workforce is the most educated of any generation. Yet, annually over 5500 workers die as a result of workplace injury and over $45 billion is spent on hundreds of thousands of workplace injuries. Knowledge and education aren’t the problem. Today, the burning issue is that people do not apply what they know – a deadly scenario when it comes to workplace safety.
This book is written for employees and their leaders and provides hard-hitting information that can challenge current attitudes and stimulate action to create workplaces where nobody gets hurt.
Well-known author Carl Potter provides thought-provoking concepts that will activate employees to develop a personal safety strategy and infuse leaders with information they can put to work to close the knowing-doing gap so that everyone can go home every day without injury.
Read this book if you are:
· An employee who considers yourself safe and needs to be re-energized
· A worker who thinks the company’s approach to safety is unreasonable
· A leader who is at your wits end with workers who won’t follow the safe work practices
· A safety manager who is frustrated with pressure to lower incident rates
· Anyone who is concerned about the impact that workplace injuries have on people’s lives.
