Reviews

Being sincere in our drive for continued improvement, we have to accept that we don’t learn from a standing still position, and that we are limited by our own knowledge and the fear of nudging or perhaps even poking the bear. This book is timely, thought provoking and will without doubt press some buttons, but without debate there is no movement, and without movement there is no progress, and so without progress there is no improvement. -- Noreen Metcalf, De'Leigh Consultancy and Compliance, IIRSM Judge 2022 & 2023 Diving deep into the realm of workplace health and safety, this book provides an objective, evidence-based analysis. It calls upon industries to acknowledge the hidden truths, streamline complexities, and foster a culture of simplicity for a healthier and safer working environment. -- Matt Powell-Howard, Head of Product Development, NEBOSH
