Synopsis

The field of occupational safety and health combines science, technology, medicine, law, and management. But while most safety professionals have received training or have experience in some of these disciplines, rarely are they experts in all of them. This book covers the basics that safety and health professionals need to understand in order to control hazards and losses and protect the health and the lives of workers.

Comprehensive in scope, this book balances the management of safety with the relevant science and practical aspects of complying with regulations. Both basic principles and emerging trends are covered, including industrial hygiene, system safety, psychology and safety, safety management, ergonomics, workers' compensation, accident causation and investigation, regulations, record keeping, fire science, hazardous materials, training requirements, and more.
