One Percent Safer Book Reviews, Critiques and News

1% Safer than What?

I was told today there is now something called ‘the 1% safer movement’, really? What is this industry that frames everything by a number? What is this psychosis with numbers?

Zero is not a Target or Vision, it’s a Language/Discourse

Here is a podcast on the 1% safer concept and it provides a clear insight into the ideology of zero and 1%.

It’s Always a Number

I was on a conference today and the first question set to the panel was about a number. I didn’t respond to the question but rather asked the conference, why is safety so good at asking dumb questions? It doesn’t matter whether its injury rates, percentages, …

Become a global game-changer at www.onepercentsafer.com and let’s make the world a safer place, one day, one life, one percent at a time

One Percent Safer is described as an ‘anthology of the world’s best thought leaders, all in one place’. It contains 142 chapters, written by 142 different contributors, each one giving their best nugget of wisdom to make your organisation one percent safer. It’s out now, with all proceeds going to the One Percent Safer Foundation. 100% of the profits from the sale of the One Percent Safer book go directly to the One Percent Safer Foundation, an independent fund and charitable trust registered with the Charities Commission in the United Kingdom.

The Book – Order your copy here

This book is unique.  It’s a ‘handbook’ in the simplest sense – to help you, inform you, inspire you, to empower you to take action.  It’s an agent provocateur to encourage you to think – just a little bit more – about safety, about your people, and to help you lead forward by creating safety not just trying to prevent accidents.  There are 137 chapters, each is one page in length, and each one crystallizing one idea that will make your organization one percent safer. The book is published in full colour, printed on heavy-weight FSC-certified bond paper, with lovely satin-finish covers, there’s a total of 252 pages.

This is the book for anyone that’s been told to follow the rules… and then wondered if there’s something else they could do.  It’s for business leaders, managers, supervisors, safety & health professionals that don’t want people to get hurt in their organizations and workplaces.  Above all, it’s a book for those who truly want to make a difference.

Join the Movement

One Percent Safer is more than a book; it’s a movement.  And YOU can be part of it.

La Duke Contributes To Landmark Global Book

ONE PERCENT SAFER is more than a book, it’s a movement, and you can be part of it.

 

DETROIT – Virginir — 2.78 million people died last year due to work accidents or work-related ill-health.
No doubt that’s an unacceptable number, but it’s also hard to get our heads around, so let’s break it down. It’s 7,616 people dead every day. It’s 317 every hour. 10 seconds, and another person dead. Another person just like you.  Yet organizations rarely discuss safety in this way – it’s usually only ever about Accident Frequencies and Lost Time Injury Rates. Real people suddenly fade out to become mere numbers.
At this point you have a couple of options. You can accept that this is just what happens in the world of work and carry on doing things the way you always have. Or you can join us and imagine a world where all organizations commit to being ONE PERCENT SAFER every day. You can be a change-maker and game-changer in your organization and be part of the ONE PERCENT SAFER movement. It’s this simple: if we all do just one thing, just improve things by one percent, then that’s 28,000 people that get to go home without harm, instead of ending up dead – each year. 28,000 husbands, wives, partners, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, friends, and co-workers. 28,000 humans. Wouldn’t that be incredible to be part of a movement that helps save 28,000 lives?

Workplace safety is a philosophy, not a technocratic exercise

27 January 2021 by Ben Walker

One Percent Safer rejects the idea that safety can either be achieved or failed: that a miss is a mile. Corporations state their goal as zero accidents, yet One Percent Safer shows what might be accomplished were we to reduce workplace accidents worldwide by just 1%. Some 2.78 million died at work last year. A 1% reduction would save the lives of 28,000 people annually.

In his essay, One Percent Safer contributor and business coach Andrew Barrett implores leaders to “follow the elephants” – to concentrate on minimizing the greatest workplace risks – while empowering and entrusting employees to tackle the “mice”, the smaller pitfalls that we encounter every day.
