Lean Safety: Transforming your Safety Culture with Lean Management 1st Edition

I think this book is primarily aimed at those proficient in LEAN who want to improve their safety culture. I come from the oil & gas industry and think we're already ahead of the "safety" game, but perhaps not so experienced with "lean". I really enjoyed this introduction to merging these worlds, and found it very helpful even from the opposite end of the spectrum. The safety concepts were all old news to me, but the application of them within the LEAN methodology was new and I appreciated this new perspective which gave me some great ideas for inspiring my team.

Great Primer for incorporating Safety with Lean. How to get a Safety culture going using lean tools. Great Insights by the author a must read for all Lean Practitioners.

This book explains how a safety should be viewed within an organization. I've had a problem for years with the standard thought of safety is the safety managers responsibility. Lean Safety lays on the line what "safety is everyone's responsibility" really looks like. You don't have to be a LEAN organization to appreciate the content and takeaway meaningful action steps for your current program.

When I was recommended this book by a client, I thought I was in for the 'latest and greatest' in Safety. Being a Lean / Six Sigma MBB, I was looking for some 'nuggets of knowledge' about the application of these popular techniques to the Safety environment. I was underwhelmed, to say it best -- most of the commentary / direction being either obvious or more related to seeing safety impacts from incorporating Lean into a business, rather than how to incorporate Lean into a business' safety efforts.

This is an excellent book that all levels of management should be required to read. I'm a OSHA 500 instructor, CSMS, Workplace violence specialist and I'm responsible for multi-state safety program and Lean Safey concepts from this book are great. I will be putting a lot of these concepts to work right away.

LEAN SAFETY was a very good read - not that it has a lot of new ideas or information but it gives you ideas to get things done, a different view. Companies looking at implementing LEAN get so entrenched in the production side - they don't see the safety side. This book gives you ideas how to push that side of production.

An easy to understand approach to safety that non safety practioners can apply

Good

Esperaba más de un libro de este estilo y con este título. Para una persona que quiere aproximarse al tema puede ser un libro de entrada y aprendizaje; para alguien experto es preferible que busque artículos recientes que puedan aportarles nuevos "insights".

I have used the methods and advice in this book to facilitate events that give the business what it wants and improve safety at the same time. It makes sense.
