Here, at last, is a book that addresses the real heart of workplace safety: you. Your attitude, your priorities, and your mindset all have more to do with how safe you are at work than you’ve probably ever imagined.

Tuning In to Safety is about taking charge of a factor you can control: specifically, your thought process. The reader is challenged to define their personal safety goals, and then to reflect on how they think in regards to safety. Many will be shocked to realize that their own thinking is working against them in their efforts to keep themselves and their coworkers safe.

Tuning In to Safety deals with many relevant workplace safety issues, including:

  • The relationship between safety and production
  • The hidden costs of workplace injuries
  • The responsibility we bear for the safety of our coworkers
  • Strategies for learning safety
  • Delivering and receiving safety concerns gracefully
  • Making positive contributions to your company's safety culture
  • Overcoming a self-imposed sense of urgency
  • Identifying and mitigating complacency
  • Helping supervisors stay safe
  • What it will cost you if you get injured

Your employer cannot hold your hand...you are required to make safety decisions daily. Tuning In to Safety was written to help you make smart choices; for your sake, for the good of your family, and for the well-being of the people you work with.

John Anthony (Tony) Martin is a lifelong learner, a natural teacher, and an adventurer.

One of his first jobs was in the snack shop of a local drive-in theater. When the projectionist suddenly quit mid-season, Tony jumped at the opportunity to be trained on the archaic and complicated machines. With no previous experience and a great deal of pressure to learn quickly, he persevered until he had mastered his new position. This passion to increase his knowledge base has been a constant throughout his career. While pursuing a journeyman certification through the Canadian Interprovincial Apprenticeship program, he observed his instructors and decided that he would someday become a teacher. Throughout his career, Tony has continued to pursue a wide variety of educational opportunities.

His teaching dream became a reality in 1996 when he became the Heavy Duty Mechanics instructor at Ilisagvik College in Barrow, Alaska (now Utqiagvik). After five years, Tony went to the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, eventually obtaining full professor status. He is currently employed as a trainer in private industry. He has also published many articles on a variety of technical topics and spoken at many conferences. Wherever he has been employed, he has generously shared his knowledge and experience. Tony loves seeing people fulfill their potential.

When presented with the opportunity to spend a summer in Alaska fixing machinery and driving trucks at a fish packing plant, Tony packed up and headed north. That same summer, he met and quickly proposed to his wife of 25 years. This fearless sense of adventure has taken Tony and his family all over Alaska – from the Kenai Peninsula oil fields to the tundra of the North Slope, and from the rainforest of Southeast Alaska to its mountainous heart, Fairbanks. In his free time, he enjoys biking, hiking, and camping - especially when joined by his wife and some (or all) of their five children.

Not only has he given H&S Managers a good compilation of documented data
Author Tony Martin has delivered a long past due common sense assessment of safety in this well written book. Not only has he given H&S Managers a good compilation of documented data, he has given an easy read set of foundation fundamentals that all working in any industry should learn to go home safely everyday. I bought 12 of these books for a small staff I manage. We are using one chapter each month in our safety meetings. Each employee is encouraged to think and apply what is learned then approach a fellow employee throughout the month to discuss. Excellent work Mr.Martin. I hope to see more of your works in the future.Bill WhitmoreOperations ManagerVanderparts Co.Evansville, IN

A book like this one is long over due. It’s a really easy read and flows right through all the way to the end. Many good safety related stories that are told well so that anyone can relate to them and learn from them as well. I would even say that this book should be a staple for any tech school to incorporate into a safety class which most schools don’t really teach enough of as it is. It’s not enough to learn safety in the field or on the job. Very well put together and job well done sir!

4.0 out of 5 stars Attitude changer
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2018
“Tuning Into Safety” certainly caused me to look into my own attitudes, the attitudes of fellow workers, superintendents and management over many years in the trades. I must admit that the subject of safety was not of foremost importance and in many cases was ridiculed or completely ignored.
This book deals with these negative attitudes head-on and the reader is finally led to answer the question “what’s in it for me?”
As for my company, our future jobs will be safer because of a change in attitude in Numero Uno.
Thanks to Tony Martin for his thoughtful work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Building a culture of safety
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018
Here's a gem of extraordinary proportions for anyone involved in the physical workplace. Every day I wake up with the pain of the accumulated stresses and injuries of a long journey in the construction, mining and logging industries. For me, fifty years ago would have been a great time to have read this. But the importance of this book is now; to learn the lessons of the past and to not repeat them.

Mr. Martin has accurately identified the lack of foresight of in the workplace of the past, and how to address this as we move into the future. The stories of pain, suffering and injury are tempered with plans for action. While it is an easy read, it's not easy to read, and digest, some of those stories of pain and suffering as we reflect on our own past practices. But you must. Or risk repeating the failures of the past.

If you are involved in industry and professional technical education I think that we shall look at this book as a watershed moment in our "Tuning In to Safety". Why not set up future generations with thoughtful practices?

As Mr. Bennett notes in the Foreword, "By abandoning the tedious recital of regulations used in most safety literature, this book is innovative because it invites the reader to engage in the dialogue of safety strategies". Now is the time to engage everyone in that dialogue. What could it hurt?

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will change the way you think about safety.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018
Technically, I guess you could say this is a textbook, but it doesn't read like one - by which I mean it is actually interesting. The author takes what most people would consider to be a dry subject, and turns it into an enjoyable, easy read by using lots of real-world examples. This book should be required reading for anyone who works in an industrial environment. In particular, it is helpful to old guys (like me) who have been through more safety lectures than they can count, and who think there is nothing more they can possibly learn on the subject. Too often, safety training is seen by the trainees as nothing more than a list of rules they need to memorize. Many times, there is an unspoken message that safety is counter-productive. Regardless of the words of the executives and managers, the overall workplace culture quickly teaches workers that safety is an impediment to getting the job done - that their mission is to get the job done "in spite of" the safety requirements. This book specifically refutes that mindset, and shows that lack of safety awareness is a much greater impediment, and that, far from being counter-productive, an active safety culture is very good for business.
