This Handbook was written to serve two convergent purposes. First,
the Handbook helps managers comply with standards, rules, and
regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(or OSHA for short). At the same time, the author also shows how
occupational safety and health issues may be managed for best
organizational results. The author believes that, while compliance
with OSHA is important, the ultimate goal of management is to
control workplace hazards because this function is intrinsically
worthwhile, satisfying, as well as, profitable. Each employee must
be protected from workplace hazard because he or she is, first, a
person, and then, a valuable asset to the organization. In addition
to managers, this book will be of benefit to engineers, industrial
hygienists, senior executives, first line supervisors, and all
other persons whose jobs are touched by OSHA and by issues of
workplace safety and health. The Handbook provides theories and
techniques for the management of occupational safety and health.
The material includes general information on the organization and
workings of OSHA, as well as, in-depth specifics on OSHA standards
and procedures. It sets down the foundation for understanding OSHA
in particular and occupational safety and health in general. With
understanding, a good, even excellent OSHA compliance and
occupational safety and health management program may be designed
and implemented within any organization. The reader will note that
the Handbook is written from the multidisciplinary standpoint, as

draws its information from many different fields of knowledge. As
the author is apracticing attorney, as well as a hands-on certified
industrial hygienist, over 150 important case decisions are cited
with their case report references, and the Author's commentary in
this Handbook. The reader may obtain and read these governing cases
and achieve an elevated level of profic
