Drawing on both volumes of The Safety Professionals Handbook, Second Edition, Best Practices in Safety, Industrial Hygiene, and Environmental Management is a peer-reviewed reference, grounded in the authors' real-world experience. The information is based on the best references available and the extensive bibliographies provide a foundation for further research. Like the Handbook, this book discusses those programs and issues of most concern to OH&S managers, including risk assessment and hazard control, and safety and health training. This scope, together with the in-depth, well-documented discussion of best practices, results in a practical and valuable resource for managers.
