#1 Workplace Safety by Dan Hopwood and Steve Thompson
As an owner of a small business, I know that it’s important for me to have a workplace safety plan in place. Even as a company in a traditional office environment, I can still be faced with safety situations including loss prevention, workplace security, and worker’s compensation.

While the book covers topics I personally don’t have to deal with, such as OSHA regulatory requirements, it also covers a lot of topics that could be applicable to nearly any business. This includes disaster and emergency planning, injury management, workplace safety, workers’ compensation, and insurance. It’s a must-read for small and midsize companies.
