Book excerpt: Safety professionals must prepare every day to safeguard their employees in the workplace. Additionally, part of every safety professional’s responsibility is to safeguard their organization when a compliance inspection is conducted by federal, OSHA, or a state plan agency. Safety professionals are most organizations’ onsite safety and health "expert" and should be prepared far in advance of an inspection. They should be prepared during the inspection, and ready to defend the organization after the inspection. With the increase in the monetary penalties, the impact on an organization as a result of identified violations can be substantial. This text prepares and educates safety professionals to address every phase from strategies, to compliance, to defenses, and provides a one stop location for information to address and prepare the safety professional if/when OSHA knocks at the door. Additionally, the safety function does not work in a vacuum. Other potential risks and potential liabilities from other laws, such as the ADA, which can impact the safety function, are also addressed. Safety professionals know that their organizations depend on their experience and expertise in their decision-making process. Provides a legal prospective to prepare safety professionals for OSHA inspection and related potential risks Case studies to enhance learning and state-by-state listing of applicable laws and regulations Demonstrates an understanding of defense preparation and strategies for safety professionals The safety professional’s "go to" book for compliance and inspections

Download or read book Bonding written by Thomas Louis Ampeliotis and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout this book, author Thomas Ampeliotis provides insight written in the first person. Ampeliotis talks primarily from his experience through eleven years of Law Enforcement/Security experience, Security Management for an International Company, Human Resources, and through his educational background that includes two master's degrees and work towards an Ed D in Organizational Leadership. A good security professional is always thinking of what could happen and how to stop it from happening. That is one reason I wrote this book. I wanted to help security/human resource personnel by giving them tools and forethought to prepare against the unexpected. If there is not a designated security professional in an organization, the task of security is always given to the human resource or safety department. So it only makes sense that human resources should prepare against security issues and have necessary tools.
