Live Safely in a Dangerous World Background
Live
Safely in a Dangerous World is the product of more than ten
years’ research. Nearly all of the topics were
published at least twice in the Safety Times Newsletter
from 1992 through 2002.
The
information for each topic
comes from many sources. Before publishing each topic in the
newsletter, it was
reviewed by at least two CSPs (Certified Safety Professionals),
or by a CSP and a subject-matter expert. Children’s topics
were reviewed by a representative of the Safe Kids Worldwide
organization;
boating topics by the United States Coast Guard; the chain-saw
topic by a safety trainer for a chain-saw manufacturer, and so
on.
The
circulation of the newsletter exceeded 20,000; pass-along readership,
however, was considerably higher, as some recipients paid for
the privilege of copying the material. Safety Times clients have included
Alcoa, Avery Dennison, Boeing, Dow Corning, ExxonMobil, General
Motors, Georgia-Pacific, Honeywell, SBC, Sprint, the U.S. Postal
Service, and hundreds of other corporations and organizations.
With all these readers, and additional readers from the
Safety Times Reproducible Articles and
Live
Safely in a Dangerous World, the publisher has not received one complaint
regarding the material.

Live Safely in a Dangerous World is a common-sense guide that every household
should have in plain sight. It is a wonderful resource that you
can flip through to help remind you of the little things that
you haven't thought about recently. The information that applies
directly to you and your family should be reviewed at the beginning
