The Safety Professionals Handbook, Second Edition, continues ASSP’s commitment to providing a unique resource to practicing safety professionals, in one source that can be easily accessed and understood. No other EHS publication offers the breadth of information from such a multitude of experienced safety professionals.
NEW INFORMATION ON:
• Regulatory issues affecting hazard/exposure assessments
• Risk assessment choices, including issues of sustainability and ethics
• Fire prevention and protection standards, including NFPA 101, NFPA 5000, and NFPA 2001 (Clean-Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems)
• Electrical safety, including new OSHA Final Rule 72 requirements and NFPA 70E, insulated tools and equipment and arc flash analysis.
The second edition broadens the scope of what EHS professionals consider the most important and essential health and safety programs and information, covering each topic area from several points of view; regulatory, science and engineering, cost analysis and budgeting, benchmarking and performance criteria, and best practices. Also included are the results of new research on subjects ranging from resource allocation modeling and improved hazardous materials handling to work physiology improvements. Readers can have confidence in the technical accuracy and the depth and breadth of coverage in the book. Readers can measure their own experiences against both the summary of the research and the validated experience and insight of our authors. Attention Instructors: An instructor's guide containing questions and answers for each of the chapters in The Safety Professionals Handbook will be available at no cost to instructors who have adopted the handbook for a course.
