Download or read book Safe Enough to Soar written by Frederick A. Miller and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some organizations pay a great deal of attention to ensuring the physical safety of their team members, but do the team members feel safe enough to speak up and raise tough concerns? Share bold and still-in-formation ideas? In this book, bestselling authors and inclusion experts Frederick A. Miller and Judith H. Katz introduce the concept of “interaction safety” and demonstrate how it can help create a work environment of trust, inclusion, and collaboration. Interaction safety encourages reasonable risk-taking and inspires every individual to be brave enough to reach for higher goals and more ambitious possibilities. When interaction safety exists, people know they will not be penalized, ostracized, demoted, made small, discounted, or shunned because of their thoughts, contributions, and conversations. Individuals feel encouraged, empowered, and can achieve more together than they would alone. Miller and Katz provide a four-level model for assessing and increasing the interaction safety in organizations, illustrated by short scenarios taken from real-life situations. They offer concrete actions team members, leaders, and organizations can take to build and maintain a productive, collaborative, and innovative environment in which people do their best work individually and collectively. When interaction safety is a way of life, the energy people used to spend walking on eggshells, trying to get their ideas heard, navigating minefields, or avoiding those they distrust can instead be put towards doing their best work and winning bigger for the organization. With a culture of openness and true collaboration, both the organization and individuals can soar!

Download or read book Leadership and Management for Safety written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by IAEA Safety Standards Series N. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Safety Requirements publication establishes requirements that support Principle 3 of the Fundamental Safety Principles in relation to establishing, sustaining and continuously improving leadership and management for safety and an integrated management system. It emphasizes that leadership for safety, management for safety, an effective management system and a systemic approach (i.e. an approach in which interactions between technical, human and organizational factors are duly considered) are all essential to the specification and application of adequate safety measures and to the fostering of a strong safety culture. Leadership and an effective management system will integrate safety, health, environmental, security, quality, human-and-organizational factor, societal and economic elements. The management system will ensure the fostering of a strong safety culture, regular assessment of performance and the application of lessons from experience. The publication is intended for use by regulatory bodies, operating organizations (registrants and licensees) and other organizations concerned with facilities and activities that give rise to radiation risks.

Book excerpt: Picture this scenario: You're cruising down the highway, your hands lightly gripping the steering wheel, and your mind wandering in the symphony of your favorite songs. The sun's golden rays bathe your vehicle in warmth, creating the perfect driving experience. Yet, beneath this serene surface, a complex network of systems is diligently at work to ensure your safety. The brakes are ready to respond to your slightest command; airbags stand ready to deploy in milliseconds if the unexpected happens; and the engine hums along, reliably transporting you to your destination. This harmony, this dance of safety and technology, is precisely what functional safety in the automotive industry is all about. Functional safety is not an optional accessory; it's the foundation upon which the entire automotive world rests. The vehicles we drive today are marvels of modern engineering, packed with intricate electronics and software that optimize performance, enhance comfort, and increase fuel efficiency. However, this evolution brings an indispensable responsibility - ensuring that these sophisticated systems do not compromise our safety. This is where functional safety takes center stage.
