On the front cover, the title Lean Safety is in a large, bold font with a background picture of a hard hat with a green safety cross. This sets the stage for the book, which is about leveraging lean management practices to achieve safety excellence. The subtitle, Transforming Your Safety Culture With Lean Management, further indicates that changing safety culture through lean practices will be the main objective of this book, which will benefit professionals who want to gain ideas to improve safety culture in their place of business. The book begins with why one should focus on safety and defines leadership roles. The next section transitions to describing detailed, basic and advanced lean tools for safety that can be applied to the working environment. This nicely written section makes up about 40% (66 of 163 pages) of the book. The last chapters are dedicated to topics such as safety program leadership, incident investigation, promoting safety, road map to world-class safety, safety standard work and safety metrics. The author nicely divides these topics and provides the reader easy access to use as a reference.
