Six inches. That is the distance between a routine Tuesday morning and a tragedy that haunts a superintendent's career forever. It's the gap between a forklift's rear tire and a laborer's boot-a "near-miss" that everyone sees, but because no one was hurt, nobody writes it down. In the high-pressure world of construction, these moments evaporate by lunch, but the patterns they create are the early warning signs of the injury that hasn't happened yet. The Safety First Site Log: How Superintendents Can Reduce Liability and Near-Misses Through Daily Documentation. is not a corporate compliance manual written by someone in a quiet office; it is a field-tested survival guide for the superintendent standing in the mud with a radio in one hand. , facing a schedule that is "actively lying" to them.

But relying on memory to manage site safety is a systems problem. that leaves you and your company exposed. This book gives you the tools to turn scattered observations into a structured early-warning system. Build a Culture That Lasts.
