“Ken Sheridan is a credible, innovative, and motivating force in workplace safety. During his long career, he witnessed the early days of personal protective equipment implementation and led the culture change from safety equipment to safe work policies to the normalization of safety as a core value and operating principle. His book provides guidance to companies on what it takes to establish and sustain a culture that is far more supportive of safety as an organizational value and, if achieved, can transform overall business performance.”
