Being a Safety Professional is not for the weak. There are numerous competing forces, personalities, and agendas. Intuitively it should be simple. How could it be hard to convince people not to get injured or killed? The reality is that it requires a tremendous amount of leadership and skill to successfully navigate an organization and its employees toward safety excellence. The unskilled will advocate for more resources. The poor leader will blame others. The truly successful safety professionals understand the role of safety extends beyond the prevention of accidents. They use their leadership skill and influence to improve overall operational success. Many safety professionals have focused almost all their efforts on compliance monitoring and safety training. Both of these are good ideas. The frustration begins to build because these activities achieve a moderate amount of success, but not a great amount. A frequent limiting factor in many organizations is the safety professional's failure to fully understand how operational efficiency is connected to safety success. Many organizations with charismatic safety professional will be lured into dedicating more resources into nonproductive roles to improve safety via more inspections and safety training. This resource dump is touted as the company's increasing commitment to Safety. Unfortunately, more resources thrown at the same problem will have an even smaller impact. The key component that is often overlooked by safety professionals is that safety and operations work better together. There should not be an Operations Manual and a separate Safety Manual that would indicate one set of procedures to accomplish what we get paid for and then another set of procedures to help ensure no one gets hurt. Safety professionals should be focused on the organizations' operational side to help blend safety and operations into a homogenous activity. This way, the organization produces its product with one set of procedures that is efficient and safe. Never again should there be friction or opposition between safety and operations. Both should symbiotically help each other improve. Achieving this symbiosis requires the modern safety professional to have a tremendous amount of leadership and communication skills. A poor leader or communicator will not be able to bridge the gap between safety and operations. Symbiotic Safety will help safety professionals understand the symbiotic relationship between safety and operations and equip them to understand the leadership and communications skills required to blend them successfully.

Discover new strategies for maximizing performance and profit across your organization through the concept of operational excellence.

The ninth volume in this essential series discusses key advances in our understanding of neoplasms in the human central nervous system. This publication deals with various aspects of nine separate types of brain tumors. With 70 contributors from 17 nations, this edition offers an unrivalled thoroughness and breadth of coverage that includes the very latest research results on the following tumor types: astrocytoma, lymphoma, supratentorial and glioneuronal tumors, gangliogliomas, neuroblastoma in adults, hemangioma, and ependymoma. The content introduces new technologies and their applications in diagnosis, treatment and therapy of tumors. It explains molecular profiling techniques that enable oncologists to select appropriate therapies for clinical trials, and discusses a number of surgical treatments, including resection and radiosurgery. Volume 9 is interspersed with color illustrations and tables depicting many of the results. This volume joins its fellow publications in a valuable series that fully explores controversies and debates in CNS cancer therapy, and furthers the scientific quest for effective therapies to combat cancer in all its forms.
This supplement to "Acta Neurochirurgica" contains a selection of papers which were presented at the 9th Scientific Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Neurosurgery on Space Occupying Lesions of the Cerebral Midline in Vienna, October 10-13,1984. This meeting was arranged at the same location where the ESPN was founded exactly seventeen years ago. Although the presentations in this meeting dealt with numerous important problems encountered in paediatric neurosurgery, the main emphasis was on that special problem which exemplifies the extraordinary advances in paediatric neurosurgery and its related fields. Therefore the main topic of this scientific meeting was dedicated to the subject of "Space Occupying Lesions of the Cerebral Midline". Recent diagnostic procedures, such as computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, now enable the neurosurgeon preoperatively, to obtain precise data on the location, and in many cases also on the nature of a lesion deep within the brain. Fundamental new knowledge in neuroanatomy and neurotopography has now transformed previous high-risk procedures into routine ones for the neurosurgeon, and an abundance of new surgical techniques has improved the success rate in the treatment of many patients. The scientific meetings of the ESPN have proved to be a successful forum for the exchange of experiences, opinions and even critical discussions. The present selection of papers will undoubtedly support this endeavour. Wolfgang T. Koos Gerhard Pendl Contents A.
