Testimonial:

"Once again, you knock my socks off! I've always been impressed with your straight-forward no BS approach to safety. That is, a simplistic yet a fundamentally based message incorporating the latest research. You have an enviable talent to boil down the jargon and present a clear concise message."

"Your latest book should be in every front-line supervisor's hand and on the shelf of every safety professional. I love your message that we are our brother's keeper and the decisions we make today can have a profound impact on us, our loved ones, our coworkers, and our employers. Bottom line, safety is for (quality) life. I'm looking forward to your next book."
