Kishor Bhagwati: Managing Safety. It was the accident of a worker in a plant for manufacturing a highly poisonous insecticide that made safety an important subject for Kishor Bhagwati, the author of “Managing Safety”.

Seeing the victim of that accident suspended between life and death, “safety became humanised” for him, says Bhagwati.

He started consulting in safety and environmental management and has now gathered his insights in this book published by Wiley-VCH: Aimed primarily at top and middle management, this book adopts the approach to preventing serious incidents rather than minimal compliance with regulations.

It shows how accidents can be avoided with little effort and money – and how an injury-free culture brings higher worker morale, better product quality, and maximum productivity.
