Beginning in 1986, I started my career in safety and health management. Beyond the “basic industrial safety classes” being taught at the time, a few innovative and creative individuals were looking at safety and health management in ways beyond making “physical and engineering changes” (a technique that had dominated safety program management since its inception). In 1995, Values-Based Safety Process emerged as a go-to reference for me. It is a wonderful and enduring book!
One of the chapters that I go back to regularly outlines a clear strategy for sustaining the safety management and culture process. Terry’s book has endured as a benchmark in our consulting practice and approach to safety management today. I highly endorse and recommend his book, and believe it has helped immensely in the prevention of injuries and illnesses in the workplace.

Dr. McSween’s book ‘The Values-based Safety Process’ was referenced in a paper he co-authored at last June’s ASSE Safety Conference. One challenge we face is applying the principles of BBS in a single worker environment – his paper and book have provided us with insights on how we might move forward – with BBS ownership from all levels in our organization. Well worth the investment.

Dr. Terry McSween has written “The Values-Based Safety Process” what many have described as the “most practical book on how to actually implement behavioral-based safety and troubleshoot organizational and system problems within an organization”. This book is an essential working reference for every executive, manager, supervisor and safety professional responsible for for helping protect employees, the environment, and property. A very positive review of the book was published in the July 2001 issue of Professional Safety.
This book can help you get a proper perspective of how Behavior-based safety can be an additional element (but not a replacement for) a fundamentally sound total loss control program to protect people, the environment and property.

This is a great, great book. Having studied safety culture management for many years, this is the best book I have seen on the subject. A practical, meat and potato’s guide to establishing a successful, high-performance safety culture, with a proven method that absolutely works. McSween holds your hand and takes you right down the road where you need to go with a clear, understandable writing style that starts at the basics and takes you all the way through how to celebrate your success. The second edition has lots of case studies and a great section on safety leadership. Buy this book! Also, read some great safety articles at McSween’s website “Quality Safety Edge”.
