The Project Management HandbookA GUIDE TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMCONSTRUCTION PROJECTSBy Kevin Vida

Project managers are needed in many different industries, including computer

services, architecture, engineering, local and federal governments, and private industry.

And many different kinds of organizations utilize a Capital Improvement Program

(CIP). However, very few project managers operating under the auspices of a CIP have

any formal technical training or education in project management. These project

managers are often thrust into positions in which they have little experience, and they

quickly need the necessary information on project management presented in a clear

and accessible way. In The Project Management Handbook, author Kevin Vida provides a

practical, easy-to-understand description of how a CIP project is developed, executed,

monitored, and completed.

This book provides a clear and detailed explanation of what steps are required

and what roles and responsibilities a project manager must fulfill in executing a CIP

project successfully. The chapters are divided into phases, and then progressive tasks,

and then steps, so the reader can start at the beginning and develop an understanding

of project management under a CIP along the way. The book begins with the basics of

project management and CIPs before tracing the life cycle of the CIP project from start

to finish. This book is an essential resource for project managers who need to learn

the ropes quickly, for students who need information on CIP project management, and

for professionals who need a quick and handy reference.

Kevin Vida is an architect and a project manager with the Frederick County

government in Maryland.

A Guide to Successful ConsultingBy Steven C. Stryker

Many consultants are forced to learn the basic principles and techniques of

consulting on the job. Even though this lack of preparation can lead to several

problems that could be avoided, there are few practical resources available to guide

the new consulting professional to an understanding of what is required for a

successful consulting practice. In A Guide to Successful Consulting, author Steven C.

Stryker presents an essential introduction to the fundamental concepts and tools of

the successful consultant.

This book describes, through a comprehensive approach that unites theory and

practice, consulting principles for all those wishing to expand their abilities to initiate

and implement organizational change. It lays the groundwork for the perceptive

handling of each assignment through the integration of knowledge, experience, and

instinct. It thoroughly examines the major aspects of a consulting assignment, along

with the required practical skills and techniques.

Explanatory graphics and case studies based on real-world examples abound to

ensure that ideas can become roadmaps to developing important consulting tools.

Take-away checklists and tables of useful information provide a practical way for

consultants to review and apply the necessary knowledge for successful practice. This

book enables aspiring consulting professionals to have a better grasp of the

environment and challenges of the practice of professional consulting today.

A Guide to Innovative Public-Private

PartnershipsUTILIZING THE RESOURCES OF THE PRIVATE SECTORFOR THE PUBLIC GOODBy Thomas A. Cellucci

Congress is expected to announce that new practices are to be adopted across

the federal sector which will incite new and innovative partnerships between the

public and private sectors. In A Guide to Innovative Public Private Partnerships, Cellucci

introduces these new procedures and how both private entrepreneurs and

government managers can use them most effectively.

This book enables organizations in both the private and public sectors to

develop and execute efficient and effective business partnerships. Detailed

requirements and market potentials are developed which would help entice the

private sector to use its own resources to develop products and services without

delay and at minimal cost to taxpayers. The book starts from basic principle of

partnerships, develops the concept of commercialization-based public-private

partnerships, and provides templates, potential marketing tools, and real-world

examples to prove the effectiveness of this shift in how government will work in the

future. This is a “must read” for anyone interested in doing business with the

government as well as government leaders who are being forced to trim budgets and

show genuine value in their agencies.

Thomas A. Cellucci is an accomplished entrepreneur and senior executive. He

is the first Chief Commercialization Officer in an executive agency (US Department

of Homeland Security). In 2010, he was also appointed Director of the Office of

Public-Private Partnerships which oversees the Long Range Broad Agency

Announcement (LRBAA) procurement process, Office of SAFETY Act

Implementation (OSAI), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Office, and the

Commercialization Office.

Principles and Practices of

Professional ConsultingBy Steven C. Stryker

Although consultants influence the outcome of

major endeavors in the fields of management, finance,

government, and engineering, few attempts have been

made to establish the tenets and techniques of

consulting. Here, Stryker outlines the basic tools required

of this critical skill. In doing so, he looks into the history

of consulting, the consulting process itself, and the key

practical skills and techniques that are needed for

successful consulting. Case examples based on real-life

situations aptly demonstrate the applicability of the

material to current consulting activities.

This book goes through the process of consulting

from meeting and securing clients, to planning and

implementing a proper strategy, to terminating and

evaluating assignments. It provides techniques and

principles at each stage of the process to improve a

consulting practice. It presents crucial information that

can be immediately used by professionals and students in

various disciplines. And it unites theory and practice into

a single resource, in a clear-cut manner.

Contractors in the Government WorkplaceMANAGING THE BLENDED WORKFORCEBy Glenn J. Voelz

As the government increasingly uses commercial augmentation to perform many

of its most basic functions, it is critically important that all employees understand the

rules, expectations, and boundaries that define the government-contractor relationship.

The enormous shortfall of experienced acquisition personnel has left much of the

burden of oversight and accountability to employees who are not trained in contracting

regulations and procedures. Now all government employees and supervisors must

possess a basic understanding of contract administration best practices and familiarity

with rules and regulations governing the conduct of contractors in the workplace.

Voelz offers best practices and tips for employees and junior supervisors tasked

with managing hybrid government-contractor teams. Focusing primarily on service-

based contracting, he provides an understanding of the tools, techniques, rules, and

regulations relating to supervision of contractors in the workplace. He also discusses

legal, ethical, and security tips to help avoid common mistakes and violations of Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines. Voelz explains in a straightforward way all

aspects of government contracting that acquisition personnel need to know, including

the basics of service-based contracting, the government-contractor relationship,

acquisition team responsibilities, administration procedures, contract language, common

mistakes government managers may make, methods of evaluation, Performance-Based

Service Acquisitions, and ethical and legal concerns. Several appendices include a

glossary of key acquisition terms, a checklist for reviewing and analyzing contracts, tips

for writing Performance Statements and Statements of Work, and guidelines for

contingency contracting and contracting in forward locations or austere environments.

Glenn J. Voelz is an intelligence officer in the United States Army currently assigned

to the staff of the White House Situation Room.

A Guide to Federal Terms and AcronymsEdited by Don Philpott

“A useful first-stop reference.”—Book News, Inc.

Navigating government documents is a task that requires considerable

knowledge of specialized terms and acronyms. This required knowledge nearly

amounts to knowing a completely different language. To those who are not fluent, the

task can be overwhelming, as federal departments fill their documents with acronyms,

abbreviations, and terms that mean little or nothing to the outsider. Would you be able

to make sense of a document that described how the COTR reports to the CO

regarding compliance with FAR, GPRA, SARA, and FASA? (This is a common

procedure in government contracting.) Would you have any clue what was being

referred to if you came across MIL-STD-129P? (It is the new standard for Military

Shipping Label Requirements.) The sheer number of such terms makes mastering

them nearly impossible.

But now, these terms and their definitions are within reach. A Guide to Federal

Terms and Acronyms presents a glossary of key definitions used by the Federal

Government. This reference guide is comprehensive, covering the most common

terms, acronyms, and abbreviations used by each major Federal Government agency.

And it is also accessible, organized in a logical, easy-to-use format. Users can look up

terms and acronyms by department or subject matter, making this a quick reference

for translating government language. This is an essential tool for anyone who works

with federal government information.

Don Philpott is the author or co-author of more than 90 books, including The

Wounded Warrior Handbook, 2/e and The Military Marriage Manual.

The U. S. Navy Pictorial

History of the War of 1812By Don Philpott

The US Navy Pictorial History of the War of 1812

combines a fresh historical narrative with over 130

dramatic illustrations, many in color, to celebrate this war

on its bicentennial. This book focuses on the naval battles

of the War of 1812, which tended to be the most

important, and proved influential in determining the fate

of each of the nations involved. Pictures depict historic

battles scenes, impressive naval vessels, and important

historical figures, many of whom we remember specifically

for their actions in the War of 1812.

Most illustrations in this book are from the US Navy

archives, and are official works commissioned by the US

Navy or created by Naval officers. During the war, many

ships had an artist on board whose task was to record

battle scenes as they occurred, so several of the

illustrations show actions of the War of 1812 as they took

place. These illustrations then give us a unique look at a

significant period of US history, allowing us to see these

events through the eyes of those who witnessed them.

Task Force Patriot and

the End of Combat

Operations in IraqBy Pat Proctor

This book tells the untold story of a critical period

of the last crucial days of the Iraq War. Iraq in 2009 was a

strange netherworld, not quite war but not yet peace. It

was during this period of uncertainty that the Task Force

Patriot battalion arrived as the last US combat force to

occupy Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit.

In this gripping first-hand account, Pat Proctor

reveals the circumstances that put this battalion in a

position to turn the tide of the Iraq war. Despite

resistance from insurgents, intransigent Iraqi politicians,

and, occasionally, the US interagency team, this artillery-

turned-infantry battalion found itself in a position to not

only improve conditions in its area, but solve the last

unsettled problem of the Iraq war, the sectarian divide.

Through the confluence of lucky circumstances and

innovative thinking, they had stumbled upon a unique

approach that could potentially end Sunni separatism in

Iraq.

Lieutenant Colonel Pat Proctor (US Army) is

an Iraq War veteran with over 17 years of active service.

As a joint operational planner in Iraq in 2007, he

participated in General Patraeus’ Joint Strategic

Assessment Team and the campaign redesign of Operation

Iraqi Freedom.

Special Needs Families in

“This volume fills the need for guidance and advice

for military families with special-needs children. As

explained in the foreword, the book “is not intended to

be a guide for any specific special need, but an overall

‘compass’ of sorts to help families familiarize themselves

with their options.” Some of these options, such as the

Special Care Organizational Record for Children with

Special Health Care Needs are unique to the military,

making this an especially useful guide. A number of

challenges, such as the discontinuity caused by frequent

moves to new locations, are unique as well. Chapters

cover diagnoses, caregiving, education, insurance, funding

support, legal issues, advocacy, and more. … In a process

that is already fraught with confusion and

misunderstanding, dealing with the changing policies,

services, and terms used from location to location only

adds to the stress. This book will help alleviate some of

the confusion.” —BooklIst

Right Wing ResurgenceHOW A DOMESTIC TERRORIST THREAT IS BEING IGNOREDBy Daryl Johnson

In 2008 there were 149 militia groups in the United States. In 2009, that number

more than tripled to 512, and now there are nearly 600. In Right Wing Resurgence,

author Daryl Johnson offers a detailed account of the growth of right wing extremism

and militias in the United States and the ever-increasing threat they pose. The author

is an acknowledged expert in this area and has been an intelligence analyst working

for several federal agencies for nearly 20 years. The book is also a first-hand, insider’s

account of the DHS Right Wing Extremism report from the person who wrote it. It

is a truthful depiction of the facts, circumstances, and events leading up to the leak of

this official intelligence assessment.

The leak and its aftermath have had an adverse effect on homeland security.

Because of its alleged mishandling of the situation, the Department’s reputation has

declined in the intelligence and law enforcement communities and the analytical

integrity of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis was undermined. Most importantly,

the nation’s security has been compromised during a critical time when a significant

domestic terrorist threat is growing. This book is replete with case studies and

interviews with leaders which reveal their agendas, how they recruit, and how they

operate around the country. It presents a comprehensive account of an ever-growing

security concern at a time when this threat is only beginning to be realized, and is still

largely ignored in many circles.

Daryl Johnson was the senior domestic terrorism analyst at the Department of

Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence & Analysis from 2004 to 2010.

future. In Stalemate, he argues that we are waging an unwinnable war against

terrorism—that Muslim extremist ideology is a problem we can manage, but not soon

solve. This conflict with terrorism will not end in victory or defeat, at least not in the

traditional sense. The 9/11 attacks ushered in a new era in which the long-term aim

of the United States will be the management and mitigation of Islamic extremist

violence so that it interferes as little as possible with daily life.

The book begins with a look at the transition from the Cold War to an era of

globalization, and then turns to the destabilizing effects of sudden cultural clashes that

rapidly developing technology facilitates. The author addresses each of the tools

available to combat terrorism, along with the roles played by allied nations and those

non-allied states also threatened by Islamic radicalism. He concludes with a look at the

global hotspots where the U.S. will likely be involved for years to come, a brief

discussion of what constitutes “victory” in this framework, and the role the U.S. will

have to take on in the international system in the future.

Major Greg C. Reeson is a strategic plans and policy officer for the US Army. He

is certified as both an Army and national defense strategist, specializing in strategic-level

defense planning and policymaking.

Immigration, Assimilation, and

Border SecurityBy Yoku Shaw-Taylor

Immigration reform and border security are each

controversial issues in American political life in their own

right. Any change in immigration policy will bring about

new homeland security concerns, and new border

security policies will create new difficulties for those who

wish to see progress made on immigration. Author Shaw-

Taylor presents a comprehensive view of the relationship

between immigration and border security, and the unique

challenges posed by this relationship.

This book begins with a history of immigration and

customs services from 1789, showing how attitudes about

immigration have changed. It then examines developments

in immigration policy, especially since 9/11, and the

difficulties they present. Finally it offers a view to the

future of immigration policy and how it can mesh with

the demands of securing the homeland. The book includes

real-life stories of difficult incidents that arise due to the

complicated relationship between immigration and

border security. It is a must-read for anyone concerned

with the future of immigration and national security

policy.

Yoku Shaw-Taylor is a Senior Operations Research

Analyst and a Contractor Supporting Customs and

Liberty and Security?AN ETHICAL STUDY OF U.S. FOREIGNINTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCEBy Michelle Louise Atkin

This work examines the philosophical foundations

of information ethics and their potential for application to

contemporary problems in U.S. foreign intelligence

surveillance. Questions concerning the limits of

government intrusion on protected Fourth Amendment

rights are examined against the backdrop of the post-

9/11 period. Changes to U.S. foreign intelligence

surveillance law and policy are analyzed by applying the

traditional ethical theories commonly used to support

or discount these changes, namely utilitarian and

contractarian ethical theories. The resulting research

combines both theoretical elements, through its use of

analytic philosophy, and qualitative research methods,

through its use of legislation, court cases, news media,

and scholarship surrounding U.S. foreign intelligence

surveillance. Using the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Foreign

Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the Terrorist

Surveillance Program as case examples, she develops and

applies a normative ethical framework based on a legal

proportionality test that can be applied to future cases

involving U.S. foreign intelligence surveillance.

Michelle Louise Atkin was an Adjunct Research

Professor at Carleton University and the Law Reference

Cyber DefenseCOUNTERING TARGETED ATTACKSBy Richard Stiennon

With the sudden, pervasive rise of the Internet, widespread random attacks from

viruses, worms, and bots were used to engage in cyber crime and disruptive behavior.

As these threats mature, they turn into targeted attacks against banks, large data

processors, and governments. Today, such targeted attacks have become the greatest

threat facing every organization, including both small and large companies, and

governments of all sizes. In this new book, Stiennon presents a comprehensive view

of the technology, methodology, and tools needed to defend digital assets from

targeted attacks. It is an in-depth manual on the tools, techniques, technology, and

policies needed to defend organizations from cyber espionage, Denial-of-Service

attacks, and stealthy infiltration.

Stiennon addresses security practitioners, IT managers of corporate and

government sites, and government agency officials determining cyber policies. He

explains why countering targeted attacks requires new investment in technology, as

well as changes to security operations and organizations. He addresses new services

and products that have arisen to assist in the task of discovering and blocking targeted

attacks, and how deploying these technologies properly is a critical defense against

targeted attacks. Each chapter introduces a technology, the types of attacks it defends

against, and the products and services available which are suited to the task. This book

is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the evolution of the security

industry, the threats that drive it, the incidents that highlight the rapid changes in cyber

crime, and how to defend against them.

Richard Stiennon is the author of Surviving Cyberwar (GI, 2010) and has been

named “one of the 50 most powerful people in networking” by Network World.

Surviving CyberwarBy Richard Stiennon

Military and intelligence leaders agree that the next major war is not likely to be

fought on the battleground but in cyber space. Richard Stiennon argues the era of

cyber warfare has already begun. Recent cyber attacks on United States government

departments and the Pentagon corroborate this claim. China has compromised email

servers at the German Chancellery, Whitehall, and the Pentagon. Russia launched a

cyber attack against Georgia that was commensurate with their invasion of South

Ossetia, the first time that cyber attacks were used in conjunction with a physical

attack.

Every day, thousands of attempts are made to hack into America's critical

infrastructure. These attacks, if successful, could have devastating consequences.

Stiennon introduces cyberwar, outlines an effective defense against cyber threats, and

explains how to prepare for future attacks.

The book:

• begins with Shawn Carpenter and his discovery that China had hacked into

Sandia Labs,

• follows the rise of cyber espionage with the Chinese People's Liberation

Army increasingly sophisticated and overt attacks against government and

military networks around the world,

• moves from cyber espionage to cyberwar itself, revealing the rise of

distributed denial of service as a means of attacking servers, websites, and

countries;

• finishes by considering how major democracies are preparing for cyberwar

and predicts ways that a new era of cyber conflict is going to impact the

Internet, privacy, and the way the world works.

This text is a stimulating and informative look at one of the gravest threats to

Homeland Security today, offering new insights to technologists on the front lines,

helping policy makers understand the challenges they face, and providing guidance for

every organization to help reduce exposure to cyber threats.

Is America Safe?TERRORISM, HOMELAND SECURITY, ANDEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSBy Robert T. Jordan and Don Philpott

This book provides the knowledge and skills

needed to understand terrorist strategies, which in turn

allows the disruption of terrorists’ intended goals. The

authors emphasize observing and reporting suspicious

activity, reducing target vulnerabilities, and minimizing

casualties through education and preparation.

The book defines terrorism and its origins, and

describes present-day terrorist organizations: where they

operate, what their philosophies entail, and what their

motivation and objectives are. It reviews different

terrorist tactics and their desired effects and provides

readers with guidelines and checklists for surviving them.

Knowing how to prepare for and survive an attack is a

step toward marginalizing casualty rates, psychological

impacts, and propaganda values. The lifesaving skills

presented may also be used in naturally occurring

catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods,

or earthquakes.

Environmental SciencePRINCIPLES AND PRACTICESBy Frank R. Spellman and Melissa L. Stoudt

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses a wide range of topics from many diverse

areas of study. It takes on a variety of issues and problems that affect our environment and have far-reaching

consequences. In Environmental Science: Principles and Practices, authors Frank R. Spellman and Melissa Stoudt examine

the many environmental problems that beset us, the dimensions of those problems, and their varied and interrelated

causes. They examine in detail the three environmental media we are wholly dependent upon: air, water, and soil.

They explore a vast array of issues in environmental science:

• the ecological relationships of endangered species

• the impact of toxic materials on air, water, and soil (and ultimately on human health)

• the dispersal of pollutants in the atmosphere, bodies of water, and soil

• the accumulation of persistent chemicals in aquatic food webs

• the control of agricultural pests with pesticides

• acid rain and management of hazardous wastes

• wastewater treatment plants that have significantly lessened the impact of some water pollutants

• the groundwater problem

• the ozone depletion problem

• advancements made in reusing and recycling contaminated soils

• and much more

All of these many problems and concerns can and do affect us all in profound ways, and an accurate

understanding of them is necessary for any responses to them. This book is an essential resource for students,

professionals, and all those concerned with our responses to today’s most pressing environmental issues.

Environmental Health and Science

Desk ReferenceBy Frank R. Spellman and Revonna M. Bieber

Every branch of science, every profession, and every engineering process has its own

language for communication. The Environmental Health and Science Desk Reference

provides definitions and explanations of the terms and concepts used by environmental

professionals, environmental science professionals, safety practitioners and engineers,

and non-science professionals. Environmental science and health and occupational

health and safety are not single topics, but rather a complex, colorful, and diversified

array of interrelated subjects including all of the basic sciences, computer science,

government, engineering, measurement, physics, health and disease, energy, security,

disease, injury identification prevention and control, and much more. The practicing

environmental specialist or student of environmental science, technology, health and

safety engineering should know these topics. Without some knowledge of these topics

it is difficult (if not impossible) to practice in any of the environmental fields.

The authors of this comprehensive reference work have more than 35 years of

practical experience in environmental health and science. They have selected and

explained more than 6,000 terms in this authoritative reference. The entries range

from single-sentence definitions for the simplest terms, to explanations of over 1,000

words for the most complex or important concepts. The authors demonstrate many

of the entries with examples or case studies, and the reference includes more than 100

drawings and diagrams, which illustrate the most important principles of these fields.

But it is possible to mitigate the effects of many of these

hazards, or even prevent them altogether. In this book,

the authors focus on controlling physical hazards at

work to prevent injury, illness, and death.

The book explains the proper controls for many

types of physical hazards, including layout and building

design, safeguarding of machinery, confined space entry,

noise, radiation, ergonomics, electricity, thermal

stressors, hand tools, woodworking, welding, machining,

mobile equipment, materials handling, and workplace

violence. Discussions of engineering controls,

administrative controls (including safe work practices),

and the use of personal protective equipment are

supplemented with real-world examples and solutions.

This is an informative text for students, a quick

reference for safety professionals, a refresher for those

preparing for certification, and a practical guide for those

needing information to control physical hazards in their

places of work.

Safety and Health Handbook

for Cytotoxic DrugsBy Samuel J. Murff

Many healthcare workers must deal on a daily basis

with the transportation, preparation, storage, clean up,

and disposal of cytotoxic drugs, which are used in

chemotherapy and other types of medicine because of

their harmful effect on bad cells. These drugs also have

harmful effects on good cells, and they therefore pose a

significant health risk to those who work with them. Yet

there is little safety and health information available on

the topic in one source.

Murff assembles this information so that healthcare

workers can better understand the drugs they work

with and the safety and health procedures that should be

followed. He presents comprehensive technical and

procedural information on 106 of the most common

cytotoxic drugs. He provides guidance on dealing with

spills, reducing unnecessary exposure, and complying

with pertinent regulations and for healthcare workers

to better maintain a safe work environment.

Samuel J. Murff is currently a civilian Department of

Defense contractor. Previously, he served as Senior

Industrial Hygienist with the US Army Center for Health

Promotion and Preventive Medicine, providing cytotoxic

drug consulting services.

Handbook on Household Hazardous WasteBy Amy D. Cabaniss

“A comprehensive look at the the state

of household management.” —arBa

Americans generate 1.6 million tons

of household hazardous waste (HHW)

every year. Interest in managing old and

unwanted consumer products with

characteristics of hazardous waste—

household cleaners, pesticides, paint

products, and automotive products—only

emerged in the late 1970s. Consumer

products are exempt from federal and most

state regulations because of their household

origin, and many communities still lack the

basic information, guidance, and planning

support for HHW management. This book

provides solid waste management professionals, municipal officials, chemical waste

handlers, environmental students, and others with a comprehensive look at the state

of HHW management.

Handbook of the Occupational Safety

and Health AdministrationBy Mark McGuire Moran

In 1970, the year before Congress passed the OSH Act, an estimated 14,000

workers were killed on the job in the US. By 2010, that number was reduced to just

over 4,000, despite the near doubling of the US workforce over that same period. The

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created in 1971 to ensure

safe working conditions. It sets and enforces safety standards and provides training,

outreach, education, and assistance for business and workers. In the Handbook of the

Occupational Safety and Health Administration, author Mark Moran presents all the

necessary information on OSHA for students, scholars, professionals and managers.

It begins with a history of OSHA, from its founding to the present, highlighting

key events and important dates. In this section, it examines OSHA’s mission statement

to explore the reason for its founding and its original focus. The book then moves on

to treat OSHA’s organization and function, explaining in detail how OSHA regulates

work conditions in the US, and how business managers and professionals should

navigate it. Finally, the book presents an in-depth look at the key figures—OSHA’s

budget, important statistics, successes and failures, and trends for the future of the

administration. The book also includes appendices on the Occupational Safety & Health

Review Commission and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health and

a glossary of key terms.

Mark McGuire Moran is President of Moran Associates, a management consulting

firm specializing in occupational safety and health. He has more than 24 years of

experience helping businesses comply with OSHA regulations, and is the author of The

OSHA Answer Book, 10/e and the Construction Safety Handbook.

Ergonomics Made EasyA CHECKLIST APPROACHSecond EditionBy Deborah J. Kearney

Understanding and applying the principles of

ergonomics consistently in an organization not only

reduces the risk of employee injuries, but it also reduces

an organization’s costs and increases productivity. This

newly updated handbook examines 17 new workplace

factors—50 in all—to consider when implementing an

ergonomics program. Organized alphabetically by factor,

each section includes a descriptive checklist, allowing

managers to quickly assess each factor’s status and level

of conformance with safety, quality, and productivity

considerations.

The author explains why ergonomics is a business

solution and not a business problem; how to create cost-

effective ergonomics programs, which step-by-step

procedures to use for evaluating a workplace

environment and implementing ergonomic changes, how

to accommodate the needs of aging and disabled workers,

and how to use ergonomics to increase productivity. A

glossary of ergonomic terms and a listing of sources of

additional information are included.

Deborah Kearney is the president of Job Smart

System, Inc., which specializes in risk management to

improve productivity, safety, and quality to meet global

standards.

Small Business HandbookBy The Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Think your business is too small to have big

safety issues? Not true. According to the Occupational

Safety and Health Administration, “a serious fire, a

permanent injury, or the death of an employee or

owner can cause loss of profit or even an entire

business.” Applying the recognized principles of

prevention outlined in this book not only helps reduce

accidents, but it may also improve your company’s

efficiency and reduce insurance claims and other costs.

Written with the multi-roled small business

manager or owner in mind, this handbook provides a

condensed summary of the guidelines and federal laws

designed to keep workers safe. It examines the four

key elements of a safety and health management

system and provides an overview for inexpensively

establishing or integrating these elements into a safety

program.

Special features of this handbook, originally

published in 2005, include an overall action plan

worksheet, model policy statements, codes of safe

practices to help you get started quickly, and a list of

additional resources to reference.
