Book excerpt: This is another in a series of Safety Guides for installation commanders, leaders, and workplace supervisors to help them protect their work forces against accidental losses. The focus here is one of the most common and most costly workplace injuries -- back injury. Applying the methods outlined in this booklet will help leaders mount effective back-injury-prevention programs. It contains ideas developed throughout the Army during the early phases of our back-emphasis effort. New approaches include added emphasis on ergonomics and contributions from a broader spectrum of Army health are professionals. Learning from earlier loss control successes, we know the Army's back-injury-prevention campaign must be a shared task. It can succeed only through coordinated staff action. Like all important leadership responsibilities, elimination of back-related losses is a "Commander's Program. But commanders lead, they do not administer. Keeping a lid on back-injury costs demands a lot of attention to detail from first-line supervisors and help from the installation's staff specialists. Chronic dollar losses are so great that their reduction will easily return the cost of control. The ideas and management tools in this pamphlet will help installation officials develop their own unique programs. While effective prevention of back injuries is required by Army and Federal regulations, no single approach is mandated. But most workplaces have room for improvement. Their leaders can profit from the prevention and care strategies outlined in this guide.

This book addresses five integral components of workplace safety: Systems/Conditions, Leadership, Behaviors, People-Factors, and Communication.

These recommendations are based on years of practical experience, empirical research on the human dynamics of safety, and seminal studies in social psychology on authority and conformity. Utilizing the hugely influential and widely practiced model of Behavior Based Safety, Williams provides the safety manager with all the tools needed to lower injury rates and improve safety. Numerous charts and tables, a checklist for improving safety performance, and a foreword by world-renowned safety leader E. Scott Geller complement the text.
