No one wants to have an accident where they work.  However, thousands of employees and innocent business customers suffer needless and preventable injuries each day.   Knowing exactly how to prevent those accidents is not an exact science and almost an impossible task for the non-safety professional.  However, knowing where to start and focus your efforts is the most important first-step towards true accident prevention.

This handbook, with more than 70-pages, dozens of illustrations & tables, expertly covers tested universal strategies and plans, authored by a qualified an experienced safety professional, that will assist you in understanding the basic requirements for accident prevention in the workplace.  The rewards of mishap prevention knowledge can be measured in many ways, including reduction in senseless injuries, rising workers' compensation costs and the damaging effects of legal actions.
