“Actively Caring for People's Safety: How to Cultivate a Brother's/Sister's Keeper Work Culture” (2017)

Imagine a work environment in which everyone actively cares for each other's safety and well-being on a routine basis. Employees at all levels of the organization provide their coworkers daily supportive feedback for safety-related behavior that prevents injuries. And whenever at-risk behavior is observed, corrective feedback is provided with empathy, accepted with humility, and is applied to effectively change the behavior to the safe alternative. This is the vision of a brother's/sister's keeper work culture. Using evidence-based principles from applied behavioral science and humanistic behaviorism, Actively Caring for People's Safety is a behavior-based safety guidebook designed to show readers how to make the actively caring for people (AC4P) brother s/sister s keeper vision a reality. Safety professionals, work supervisors, corporate managers, and line workers who read, discuss, and practice the research-founded content in this handbook will be well-prepared and empowered to initiate and nurture an AC4P work culture in their organization.
