3rd Edition
by S. Z. Mansdorf (Editor)
A quick, easy-to-consult source
of practical overviews on wide-ranging issues of concern for those
responsible for the health and safety of workers
This new and completely revised edition of the popular Handbook
is an ideal, go-to resource for those who need to anticipate,
recognize, evaluate, and control conditions that can cause injury or
illness to employees in the workplace. Devised as a “how-to” guide, it
offers a mix of theory and practice while adding new and timely topics
to its core chapters, including prevention by design, product
stewardship, statistics for safety and health, safety and health
management systems, safety and health management of international
operations, and EHS auditing.
The new edition of Handbook of Occupational Safety and Health
has been rearranged into topic sections to better categorize the flow
of the chapters. Starting with a general introduction on management, it
works its way up from recognition of hazards to safety evaluations and
risk assessment. It continues on the health side beginning with chemical
agents and ending with medical surveillance. The book also offers
sections covering normal control practices, physical hazards, and
management approaches (which focuses on legal issues and workers
compensation).
