Dr. Moran’s book, which I have been using regularly since 2013, is one of my principal ACT training texts. As a both a clinician and an organizational psychologist with more than twenty years of experience, I have long been aware of the power of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training in working with people both in their professional and personal lives. One of the main strengths of ACT, from my perspective, is its ability to increase awareness and contact with the present moment in very vital ways. Because the method is anchored in values, those skilled in applying its principles to their lives are conscious of whether they are moving toward or away from what it important. ACT quickly increases focus, performance, engagement and empathy. Dr. Moran’s book, while focused on the safety sector, is a wonderful text for developing heightened awareness and values-based conscious presence in all areas of one’s life. With regard to the world of work, regardless of where that may be, this book awakens people to the importance of their actions, gives them tools to keep them from getting “headstuck” and strengthens emotional agility, situational awareness, and values-based action. ACT’s emphasis on psychological flexibility as well as its development of awareness of the self and the other and the ramifications of choice allows one have in the moment access to solid situational evaluation and appropriate decision-making. All of this implicates psychological and physical safety in the workplace. I have used ACT and Dr. Moran’s work in building high-performance teams and coaching those who lead them with remarkable results. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Moran’s contribution to this increasingly important body of literature.Product details

Building Safety Commitment Daniel J Moran PhD 9780615781921 Books Reviews
This book ignores a significant amount of the theory on occupational decision making and risk perception. It gives a simplified view that ACT is a magic solution to an organizations cultural change. Most workers would require significant intervention to get a basic uptake of these principles as they are bombarded with similar programs over and over again, developing skepticism of this form of training.
It is too individual focussed and adopts the line that the individual work can effect safety change. Individuals will always subvert a system for gain no matter what they commit to and 100% awareness is an unrealistic goal.
This book is very well written and very enjoyable to read. Looking forward to reading this again and hope it comes out on Audible.
I will also be looking for more books by this author.

I imagine that this book has an appeal to those who are concerned about workplace safety. For me, as psychologist, behavior analyst and consultant to human service agencies its appeal is that it provides a wonderfully detailed illustration of the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It is informative, easy to read and inspiring. What more could you say about a book about workplace safety?
I have read many publications on ACT (acceptance commitment therapy) and this is the best yet for clarity and application that "works", even outside the world of safety management. The ideas and applications may be transferred to many areas of life in a coherent integrated manner. This author gives the best discussion of the ACT hexaflex diagram (a visual model) ever written. He makes ACT ideas simple and easy to use in the real world with a minimum of "psycho-babble". A very refreshing and enjoyable read. I have re-read the book at least three times and find the ideas or concepts reflect a depth of understanding by the author.
The model that the author uses is extremely simple but very powerful in guiding efforts in counseling or therapy in the helping profession.

When I was a kid, I worked as a tech in my parents’ lab located in the Cohen Research Wing of the New York Medical College and Flower Hospital building. My first day on the job, my dad taught me to wash my hands thoroughly upon entering and leaving the restrooms. He modeled the behavior, assisted me hand over hand once or twice to show me the required vigor, watched me perform the task, and gave me a thumb’s up when I got it right. But far more important than any of that, my dad took time out to explain to me how people in hospitals were sick and that their sickness could be spread through bacterial infection transmitted by manual contact with shared surfaces in restrooms. And he asked me to think about how much I enjoyed being active – hiking and playing sports. He asked me if I might be willing to endure the discomfort of washing up before and after every trip to the restroom so that I’d get to keep being a healthy kid that would grow up to do great things. These were lessons I kept with me for the rest of my life. They served to instill in me a sense of direction and purpose that generalized to other areas of my life in which I encountered obstacles when doing things that mattered. Would I be willing to take extra time and care and work through barriers to effective action rather than taking short cuts? Would I be willing to follow safety rules in work and play?
I was tested on these lessons a few years later when I worked as a professional rock-climbing guide. Many climbers of that era never thought to wear helmets. At that time, helmets were heavy and hot – not made of the lightweight and crash resistant materials we have today. Many recreational climbers did not wear them at all. As a guide, I was never very successful at requiring people to wear their helmets – they just took the helmets off when I was 100 feet away from them! Scare tactics were even less effective; I imagine this is because the consequences were uncertain and so few of the recreational climbers surrounding my clients seemed to be hurting themselves by not wearing the devices. But I did stumble upon one thing modeling the practice and sharing that I wear mine because someday I want to see my grandchildren graduate from college had a profound effect upon peoples’ behavior. They related this to their own values for family, health, and wellness.
DJ Moran is part of a growing movement of safety consultants who are grounded in a science-based approach to helping people live more effective lives. Contextual behavior scientists like Moran focus on values and action in the context of attention to obstacles that show up in the moment. These impediments to safe practice are sometimes physical but often show up as memories, thoughts, and emotions. When not acknowledging of these barriers – or when actively trying to suppress them – workers can be caught off guard and their actions, or failures to follow specified action plans, can have catastrophic results.
Moran’s book, Building Safety Commitment, is filled with clear, straightforward suggestions for practicing safe behavior when it is inconvenient or difficult to do so. The premise is simple safety training, rules, and reminders are based on the notion that you’ll comply when told what is expected of you. That might happen, but these rules and prompts are not likely to maintain safe practices under challenging circumstances such as a rush order comes in, a catastrophe has to be averted quickly and you’re called in to get the job done, or the worksite is oppressively hot and the sooner you get done, the sooner you can go someplace to cool off. Moran informs of a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests these results are predictable but can be offset by preparing your internal world first. You begin to do this, according to the author, by identifying what you care most about in life, who you want to be, and who you want to be there for in the world. From this starting point, you build motivation to follow through with safety commitments. But that is really just the entryway. From there, Moran shows a series of next steps that improve your odds of following through and being that person you’re setting out to be. These steps include
- Writing To-Do lists of specific actions you’re committing to take and the precise times you’ll do these things,
- Acknowledging your emotions the pull to control them, and then stepping away from that to just allowing them to be with you as you engage in practices that keep you alive and in one piece
- Noticing thoughts that pop up (an example for me might be, “It sure would be nice to just take this dang helmet off for a few minutes”) and letting them be just that – thoughts, rather than ordinances for how you must proceed
- Coming back to the present moment when you notice your thoughts drift into the future or the past or those pesky thoughts about how nice it would be to just take off the dang personal protective device…
- Unhooking from self-concepts such as, “I’m the Fastest” or “I’m The One to Get it Done” (those are my unhelpful self-concepts, not ones Moran writes about)
In all, there are only six skills detailed in Building Safety Behavior, but Moran provides a number of useful tactics for ways to put these skills into play and keep them out in front of you. These skills and tactics are designed to motivate and maintain your diligence at following difficult safety procedures in trying times. In the end, you cannot know whether this is the time that following the protocol will make a difference. You can, however, know that paying into and following through with your safety commitment plan will reward you in dividends. To live the fullest life possible and to share it with all who love you, I hope you’ll pay into that plan. Read the book to find out how.
