What do mothball-induced dizziness, an
oddly shaped placebo, a unique use for vinegar, a paper
clip, and fish that lived have in common? These are
situations that consultant Charles Scott has faced in his
thirty-three years of providing occupational safety and
health guidance to a broad range of businesses and
institutions. The author relates these unique and sometimes
humorous experiences to give the reader an appreciation for
the ingenuity and hard work of both workers and all levels
of management involved in small business, American style.
Also included are insights into struggles required to obtain
his advanced degree. He lifts the curtain just a bit to
reveal behind-the-scenes barriers that many graduate
students encounter. He also talks about the physical
maladies that have affected him as a consequence of the
projects on which he worked. Most of the incidents he
relates reveal how conscientious his client contacts were in
their dealings. However, a few instances of ineptitude,
dishonesty, and poor management are given that should
reassure the reader that Mr. Scott did have to interface
with all types of personalities. The reader will also
develop an appreciation of how challenging it can be for a
consultant to avoid the "feast or famine" trap.
