Mariorie Eberts and Margaret Gisler have been writing together professionally for twenty years. They are prolific freelance authors with more than sixty books in print. This is their twenty-third VGM career book. It is also the third career book for which Mary McGowan has provided material, and the fourth for Maria Olson. Each is also the author of a career book.

Writing this book was a special pleasure for the authors as it gave them the opportunity to talk to so many hard-hat wearers. They appreciate the value these people place on working safely in jobs where there are dangers in the workplace.

Marjorie Eberts is a graduate of Stanford University, and Margaret Gisler is a graduate of Ball State University. Both received their specialist degrees in education from Butler University.
