This popular, practical, guide for health and safety program professionals is now in its third edition. Known as the "pocket MBA" for health and safety program professionals, the book emphasizes practical management techniques and applications that have proven to be particularly helpful in practice. As in previous editions, the book's premise is that when the directors of health and safety programs acquire, polish, and use appropriate management techniques and skills, their programs are more effective and provide greater benefits to the groups they serve. Readers in all types of health and safety programs will find the current edition indispensable in enhancing their communication skills, time management capabilities, and abilities to gain support from decision makers and other senior managers in their organization. The material can be applied immediately to the reader's own job situation, a focus that has made the book uniquely valuable.

Each chapter of the new edition has been revised to include current information. In addition, new chapters have been added in the following areas: planning health care responses to natural disasters, terrorism, and other mass casualty situations, what works and what doesn't in leadership, implementing or expanding health and safety programs; productivity enhancement, and preparing for and providing legal health and safety testimony. In each of these cases one or more collaborators have added their expertise to the discussion.

Appendices include items for new health and safety managers to consider, examples of budget categories; audit instruments for occupational and environmental health and safety components; and a summary of parliamentary procedures to help managers expedite meetings and spot inappropriate attempts to block a program or prevent necessary discussion.
