Get Real

When Theo Venter removed his insulated gloves while working on a damaged transmission pole, he made a decision that would impact himself and his family in ways he couldn’t have imagined. But why did Theo, an experienced liney, make what hindsight would tell us was such a poor decision? Get Real takes an in-depth look at the way in which workplace culture dictates safety, and the many misnomers associated with our safety industry. Using tried and tested psychological concepts, this book examines why incidents and accidents still occur even today. Why commitment to agreements is the only solution for leaders and workers to start creating a safe and harmonious workplace. Discussing the roles of every individual within an organisation in the process, Get Real is a must read for not just managers and leaders, but each and every member of a crew or work team. You won’t put this book down.
