Realistic, practical, and easy to read. Chamberlin approaches a difficult subject with solid advice and a subtle sense of humor. Born of his experiences following Hurricane Katrina, the book trains you what to look for and what to do when medical help is not available and not likely to be available anytime soon, if ever. Scavenging tools and supplies beyond the obvious can help you and your loved ones survive. He includes what to put in your medical bag, but addresses your options when you are in a bad situation and your bug-out bag is not available. Detailed and illustrated medical. ~ Review by rgon

A Must Read ~ Review by Diana Taylor

My husband and I, after many years of working on the dream, are finally at a point where we are going to move to acreage and live a more self-sustaining lifestyle that we have dreamt about ever since we were first married — years pass as do the bumps within life and health issues. My husband went through a cancer crisis along with a stem cell transplant and now secondary health issues — living 30 minutes from the nearest health facility is a general concern. This book is a great resource for not only living on acreage and away from nearby medical help, but general good ideas despite living just 10 minutes from the nearest hospital. Dr. Chamberlin offers sound solid advice while providing a touch of humor — clear and concise are my first two requirements within a book and this book delivers along with knowledgeable advice. It is a must read for anyone really — being prepared for the unexpected can mean the difference between panic and calm — life and death.

Your road map

 

Safety Indicators

Safety Indicators A New View: 5 Leading Indicators for a New Level of Safety Performance

Excerpt ~ CHAPTER ONE: WHAT WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?

Look at life through the windshield, not the rear view mirror …Byrd Baggett

The rear view mirror certainly has its uses. Impacting tomorrow’s performance is not one of them. Granted, it is important to recognize and know where we have been. But to create momentum toward a step change in safety performance, we must focus on what we are doing, in the present, and measure it against what we should be doing now and in the future.

This book is your road map toward a step change in safety performance. When reading a map, it is important to know where you are and, possibly, even where you have been. But the main use of this map is to provide the path that leads to where you want to go. It’s a new place, a place your team has not had access to before – an unprecedented, unpredictable leap in safety performance.

To do that, we simply have to get people to start behaving in new ways. It’s that simple.

Simple is not easy.

(Kindle Location 44 - 57). Paula Schwartz. Kindle Edition.

I am sure from reading this excerpt you are getting a good idea of what this book is about. I really like the message of creating a road map, looking through the windshield of now and into the future and not into the past. This advice can be taken for any area of our life. I really appreciate this message.

From the book description:

This "New View" on what we monitor and track to ensure we are building and sustaining a mature safety culture does not focus on Safety Audits that look for paperwork or documentation. These 5 Leading Indicators are focused on the critical actions taken by frontline supervisors to influence their crews and instill behaviors that foster collaborations, teamwork, and true commitment to safety.

Safety Indicators A New View is available on Amazon!
