Safety Secrets alters the false paradigm that workplace safety is the sole responsibility of management. It does not only educate. It motivates employees, whether new or veteran, to be key parts of the safety programs. The primary objective is to have employees consider safety compliance a personal responsibility, rather than a mandated restriction to production. Part of the book's effectiveness comes from placing a magnifying glass on the barriers to compliance. But it also makes workplace safety concepts applicable to real-world situations, using humor and personal anecdotes to illustrate the cause-and-effect relationship between personal choices and safety.
