This was an interesting read. The author uses his experience as a safety professional/consultant to relate to the reader those practices he or she should be implementing as a person in charge of a safety program. Manning points out that safety is a team effort and that no safety director can successfully go it alone. The book contains appendices with sample materials to utilize if you're starting from scratch. The book does contain some errors in spelling, and grammar throughout. Manning outlined certain OSHA 1910 General Industry standards throughout the text, and in somewhat more detail in Chapter 18, although I would have preferred much more information in this section. Manning offers wise advice when he suggests to refrain from making the visit of an OSHA inspector an adversarial process. Manning also provides information on the step-by-step process of the OSHA inspection and subsequent abatement and hearing process if you choose to appeal any citation(s) issued. Here follows comment regarding the Kindle version. I'm not sure who bears responsibility for the issue I'm about to raise, and perhaps both Amazon and the publisher share responsibility. First, I find my Kindle devices to be of extreme convenience. Carrying hundreds of books and documents with me in hand, and being able to add them within a brief period is of great benefit to me. The ability of the book to be in my possession within seconds from purchase, all from the comfort of wherever I may be, is of great value. Having noted some of the benefits I enjoy with the Amazon Kindle, I turn now to a particular disadvantage I experienced with this text, though not solely with this text. This Kindle text cost about $75. The kindle page showed the book as being released in 2012, and perhaps this true for the Kindle version, but the copyright page shows 2003. The Amazon website shows a publication date of 2003, but under product information shows at the end of the publisher line a date of 2012. I noted in my review that the author went through a step-by-step guide of the OSHA inspection process, and provided a review of section 1910 referring to general industry standards. The need for clear information on when the material is published (whether it's in Kindle format or some other format) is relevant because administrative law and practices, as well as court rulings may change and date the information in a manual such as this. A reader may still choose to purchase the book because of other valuable insights the author has, but if no update of the text has been made other than its conversion to an electronic format for Kindle, that should be clearly stated. In conclusion, I have found this book useful and hope the author will consider some more detailed revisions more broadly throughout the text, but also including hazmat, secondary labelling, and the 2012 revision to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) that OSHA is expected to be enforcing by 2016 with regard to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
