I read this within two weeks of starting in H&S... I think it is required reading for anyone in the H&S space. Completely mindblowing.

Subscription to SafeGuard Magazine :halo:

Tragedy At Pike River should be required reading for all managers, company directors

Maximum brownie points!

Lucille. I have a library of 18 books on health & safety. This is the one I'd recommend you get first. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1724180231

@Craig Marriott is far too modest to recommend his own book, Challenging the Safety Quo.
So I will.

Agreed, Paper Safe is worth a read. Greg Smith the author is writing a piece for the Jan/Feb issue of Safeguard.

I was fortunate to win a copy of the Safeguard Health & Safety Handbook. It explains legislation and references case law. I keep my copy on my desk as a reference. It helps me accurately and clearly advise directors and officers of their responsibilities. The book is collaborative effort by @Mike Cosman, @Ann Butler, @Craig Marriott, Michael Tooma and Rachael Schmidt-McCleave and I believe it is updated annually.

Thank you I will certainly read it.

Thanks Tony, I look forward to reading Paper Safe first.

Paper Safe by Greg Smith is a bit cheaper on Book Depository than Amazon.

Loving this thread! :up:

Like others I highly recommend Paper Safe & Challenging the Safety Quo. Another good one is 'Organising for Safety: How structure creates culture' by Andrew Hopkins. I'd also recommend listening to The Safety at Work podcasts by David Provan and Drew Rae. You can find them on LinkedIn (search for The Safety of Work or connect with David).

Another good book is Black Box thinking https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24611735-black-box-thinking
