The Handbook is a reference for managers who who want to improve their safety, occupational health, or environmental programs or for students preparing to enter safety, health or environmental management. Six programs are analyzed: risk assessment and hazard control; emergency preparedness; fire prevention and protection; industrial hygiene; personal protective equipment; ergonomics and human factors engineering. The Safety Professionals Handbook explains regulatory issues, applied science and engineering principles, cost analysis and budgeting, benchmarking and performance criteria, and best practices.
Review
This edition clearly retains the approach of covering each topical area from a diversity of perspectives. Those areas include regulatory, science and engineering, economics, cost analysis and budgeting, benchmarking and performance management, and industry best practices. The Second Edition includes the latest available applicable research results on existing and newly included topics that include resource allocation modeling, hazardous materials, as well as topical areas of human factors. This latest edition will continue to be a valuable resource for those practicing in the environmental, safety and health field, academics and students alike. Michael F.
