“This book is a terrific introduction and hands-on guide to implementing effective employee safety programs for owners, managers and technical professionals who do not have a safety background. Workplace Safety clearly lays out the logic and key elements used by safety and loss control professionals to structure management policies and employee involvement programs for safety unique to the nature of the organization. It updates traditional safety ideas into a strategic context that emphasizes the importance of integrating safety into the management's fundamental goals and objectives.”

“If the owners of small and midsized companies read this book, it will totally change the way they look at workplace safety. It will transform their thinking about workplace safety from "something you have to do for OSHA or the insurance company" to thinking of workplace safety as something that will make the company more efficient and more profitable. When business owners view workplace safety in this light, it allows them to manage their workers' compensation program as they would any other aspect of their business.”

“I have worked with both Steve Thompson and Dan Hopwood since 1991 and have found the two of them to be the best safety professionals in the business. Their knowledge of workplace safety issues and professionalism is of the highest caliber. I highly endorse their book and their principles.”

“Steve and Dan's professional expertise comes through loud and clear. As I learned from them several years ago, good safety programs are always internally driven. Insurance brokers, agents and safety professionals can provide knowledge about ways to protect your workforce, but they can't instill a culture of safety.”
Bill Litjen, President, G.S. Levine Insurance Services

“Being in the health care field I have found that chronic pain issues are often associated with the workplace. It is imperative for companies to take the appropriate measures to help mitigate the potential risks. Steve and Dan have done a great job in showing them the way.”

Steve and Dan make this information accessible to every business large and small. They take it a step further to help the reader see that workplace safety is a "people" issue and not a ‘numbers’ issue. As an owner of a small business, I found this book clear, concise and user friendly.”
