In contemplating the contents of this book, one realizes the potential it contains to contribute to the reformation of attitudes on the job toward an environment of limiting if not eliminating physical harm in the workplace.Through the proposition of marrying behavior to attitude, feelings and skills in the workforce, safety in the organization can be lifted to its rightful place against the demanded outcomes of operational entities usually considered to be only financial success.This publication lifts the consideration of zero harm in the workplace to be not only of equal importance, but in fact to be the driver of success for the enterprise, not only economically but also of good corporate behavior.By patient demonstration this book will assist management to arrive at and set values compatible with the installation of processes to build skills, set attitudes, and encourage pride across the workforce to deliver superior outcomes with respect to safety.As demonstrated, a leadership focus extending from management through to individual team, and ultimately to total company commitment, can be put into practice to enable continuous improvement to occur through safety as a core value.Regulation and risk control is becoming a subject of heightened focus by government authorities, and management obligations continue to be raised with appropriate penalties extracted for non compliance.Procedures and processes to help the practitioner "continuously improve" his performance are laid out with clarity in this book, having been developed and tested thoroughly by professionals having had many years experience in building up procedures.This book is a must as a handbook and ready reference for all managers seeking continuous improvement in safety maturity and leadership.

Factory-Free Economy: Outsourcing, Servitization, and the Future of Industry
De-industrialization, accelerated by the financial crisis, is a long term process. The comparative advantage of emerging economies shifted towards more advanced goods and their growing populations commanded an increasing share in global demand. This shift towards a factory-free economy in high income countries has drawn the attention of policy makers in North America and Europe. Some politicians have articulated alarming views, initiating mercantilist or 'beggar-thy-neighbour' cost-competitiveness policies. Yet companies that concentrate research and design innovations at home but no longer have any factories there may be the norm in the future. This volume proposes an economic analysis of this phenomenon and includes 11 contributions which complement each other and tackle the problem from different angles. <p/>The evidence in this book suggests that de-industrialization is a process that happens over time in all countries, even China. One implication is that criticism of China is not likely to provide a solution to these long term trends. Another implication is that the distinction between manufacturing and services is likely to become increasingly blurry. More manufacturing firms are engaging in services activities, and more wholesale firms are engaging in manufacturing. One optimistic perspective suggests that industrial country firms may be able to exploit the high-value added and skill-intensive activities associated with design and innovation, as well as distribution, which are all components of the global value chain for manufacturing. <p/>Although this ongoing transformation of the industrial economies may be consistent with evolving comparative advantage, it has significant short-run costs and requires far-sighted investments. These include the costs to workers who are caught in the shift from an industrial to a service economy, and the need to invest in new infrastructure and education to prepare coming generations for their changing roles.<br>
