Created by the highly experienced training specialists of Balmert Consulting, the Study Guide uses training best practices to help affix the principals of Alive & Well in the minds of professional students. The use of strategically-crafted questions--both at the beginning and end of each review session--allows the student to work with the material conceptually, becoming more familiar and facile with it. This Study Guide was originally developed in response to multiple requests from readers of Alive & Well who--enthusiastic about the messages and ideas in the book--wanted to find ways to make it become part of their operation's safety culture and practices.
