Rezensionen

'Dr. Waddah S. Ghanem Al Hashmi's book superbly brings together in one place the wealth of theory and practice that has developed around EHS governance and leadership in the past twenty years. His analysis of the key facets critical to success of business leaders in carrying out their EHS roles and responsibilities is founded on his through and exemplary review of the evidence. This book is a must read for leaders of organisations in the high and medium hazard sectors. It provides clearly and succinctly the answers to the three key questions: "What should I be doing to ensure my organisation is highly reliable; Why, and: How." As an active proponent of the importance of active and influential top level leadership over the past twenty years I am so pleased to note that Dr Al Hashmi's book answers these questions emphatically.' - Neal Stone, formerly Policy Director, British Safety Council

'Many catastrophic safety and environmental events in high risk industries have been attributed to lack of leadership. Dr Waddah's book makes a much-needed contribution on how senior leaders can move their organisations from high-risk to high-reliability; safeguarding workers and shareholder value in the process.' - Teresa Budworth, Chief Executive, NEBOSH

'The penultimate chapter was a "lightbulb moment" for me, presenting a clearer way to understand EHS governance than other models I have seen.

For those in safety leadership roles, I'd say this book is a must. After all, most of the time they will sit on (or support) a board of some description or an organisation's executive committee and can use the insights easily and quickly to obtain results in the short and longer term.' - Richard Byrne, CMIOSH, IOSH Magazine
