MANDEL'S SAFETY ARTICLE COMMENDED

To the editor: The July 13 "Ask a Risk Manager" Perspective, written by Christopher E. Mandel, was excellent!

This short, well-written article accurately portrays the benefits of a good safety and loss prevention program. These benefits have been identified in several peer-reviewed studies as valid and reliable.

The important elements of a good safety and loss prevention program outlined in the article are supported by the current philosophy within the safety profession.

Again, well done!
