Readers Reviews

 Foreword by Terry E. McSween Ph.D.

'In short, I learned a lot about our craft from reading this book. You will too. Dom has written this book for people to read, not for the shelves of academics.

If you are just learning about behavioral safety, if you work in a company that has a behavior-based safety process, if you provide behavior-based safety services, if it is something you are involved with, or if it is just something you are interested in --- buy this book.

You will come away from it with a better understanding of behavior-based safety and its adaptability to a wide variety of cultures and settings'. Terry E. McSween Ph.D
