Book excerpt: There is good evidence that a close relationship exists between management effectiveness & safety performance. A Canadian company says "safety & efficient operation are one & the same thing." Safety is (a) an excellent vehicle for accomplishing nearly everything we have to accomplish; (b) even more it is a brutally sharp measuring tool for telling us the results we are - or are not - getting. In the late 1980s, Paul O'Neill former CEO of ALCOA, proclaimed that safety would be FIRST in all actions. Combined profits for 1988 & 1989 were more than double the total of the 8 previous years. Mr. O'Neill's article, "A New Way To Wake Up A Giant," appeared in Fortune magazine October 22, 1990. Frank E. Bird, Jr. & Ray J. Davies, internationally known safety leaders, describe in detail; the reasons these positive benefits accompany the application of a good safety program in a just released, 325 page book, SAFETY & THE BOTTOM LINE. "Safety Develops a Quality Prone Environment," is typical of chapters describing Bottom Line benefits from the good, human relationship, value of safety, that was recognized as early as 2200BC in the Hammurabi Code.
