(A best-seller originally published by Prentice Hall, now ...)
A best-seller originally published by Prentice Hall, now in 3rd printing. Describes an all-encompassing, systematic method for managing all conceivable risks from "womb-to-tomb" -- whether legal, technological, social, cultural, political or environmental. Widely applied and proven, this method includes identification, evaluation, ranking, and control of the full spectrum of risks by setting them into a 3-dimensional Risk Totem Pole for cost-effective decision-making by executives. Lauded in book reviews by American Society of Safety Engineers, USC Institute of Safety and Systems Management, Federal Railroad Administration, The World Bank, Insurance Institute of America, medical centers, law firms, and many insurance corporations. Used as a textbook in many universities and colleges. A review by the System Safety Society predicted that it would "be the most influential book on the subject" for a decade.
