SAFETY AND HEALTH FOR ENGINEERS A comprehensive resource for making
products, facilities, processes, and operations safe for workers,
users, and the public Ensuring the health and safety of individuals
in the workplace is vital on an interpersonal level but is also
crucial to limiting the liability of companies in the event of an
onsite injury. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 4,700
fatal work injuries in the United States in 2020, most frequently
in transportation-related incidents. The same year, approximately
2.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by
private industry employers. According to the National Safety
Council, the cost in lost wages, productivity, medical and
administrative costs is close to 1.2 trillion dollars in the US
alone. It is imperative--by law and ethics--for engineers and
safety and health professionals to drive down these statistics by
creating a safe workplace and safe products, as well as maintaining
a safe environment. Safety and Health for Engineers is considered
the gold standard for engineers in all specialties, teaching an
understanding of many components necessary to achieve safe
workplaces, products, facilities, and methods to secure safety for
workers, users, and the public. Each chapter offers information
relevant to help safety professionals and engineers in the
achievement of the first canon of professional ethics: to protect
the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The textbook
examines the fundamentals of safety, legal aspects, hazard
recognition and control, the human element, and techniques to
manage safety decisions. In doing so, it covers the primary safety
essentials necessary for certification examinations for
practitioners. Readers of the fourth edition of Safety and Health
