Who Killed My Daddy? A Behavioral Safety Fable
by Beth Sulzer-Azaroff
Mourn the loss of the Hanks family's husband and father, Harvey, who suffered a fatal fall while on a repair assignment for Big Yellow. Witness the accident's repercussions: the frustration and anger diffusing through the company and the community. Join Myra Jensen, Safety Manager, Stanley Trent, Division Head and the police as they attempt to solve the mystery of who is stalking and harassing Myra. Share with all concerned the determination that fatalities like Hanks' never will be repeated. Peek over the shoulders of, Jensen, Trent, and numerous associates as they seek answers, forge new relationships, and successfully institute a behavioral safety system. On-the-job injuries are enormously costly to victims, their families, society, and organizations of all varieties. Recent evidence suggests that many such accidents can be prevented if personnel learn consistently to perform safely. This book uses a fictitious tale as a device for informing the reader about a contemporary method founded upon principles of human behavior to promote job safety: behavioral safety systems. Students and practitioners in the fields of health and safety, human resources, loss control, management, behavior analysis and others will find reading this book a fascinating and informative introduction to this technology.
