I bought a book from MPH yesterday, title "Job Hazard Analysis: A Guide for Voluntary Compliance & Beyond" by James E Roughton & Nathan Crutchfield... when I ask my wife whether I can buy the book or not, the 1st question is "How much??"... hehehe, of course quite expensive then since it's an imported book... but, for me it's an investment...
The interesting part about the book is the application of other management tools used to manage OSH... this is interesting... when I studied MBA, I can foresee the possibility to use some management tools to manage OSH.... this is unique approach, and I believe if OSH can be managed using some of the management tools, it can become an eye opener to the top management... management like to see something that is tangible... as an example , KPI from financial point of view....
There are a list of management tools outside there... some of the common tools are SWOT analysis, fish bones diagram (Ishikawa fish bone analysis), Quality Mgmt Syst ISO9001, 6 sigma, Strategic Management tools etc... for more management tools info, you can go the website below... cool one, I learnt it from MBA :))

I will try to digest & discuss the application of this management tools in managing OSH in another post....

Thanks Shawn for the comment... this is the first Roughton's book that I read. Not easy to find his book in Malaysia :)
If you have any interesting Safety books, feel free to recommend some book to me... I'm really "hungry" for the knwledge right now...
I understand the difficulty. There are some great safety books out there. I also recommend those interested in propagating safety messages in an organization; need to understand good business principles. If the vision is to be able to imbed safety into the fabric of organizational activities, and truly become the way we do things, than one needs to understand the organizational activities; moreover newest strategies. This allows you to be practical and results based, which is critical in today’s world. Here is a link to my site and the books I recommend: http://safetyculture.podbean.com/recommended-reading/
Happy reading!
