Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene - An introduction (Paperback, 3rd edition)

Occupational hygiene plays a vital role in ensuring our workplaces are healthy and safe. Potential hazards such as chemicals, dusts, gases, fumes, fibers, noise, vibration, and biological hazards such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and viruses must ideally be eliminated or effectively controlled. Now in its third edition Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene offers a systematic and comprehensive overview of occupational health hazards and hazardous environments encountered in a range of industries and organizational settings. Leading industry professionals and educators explain how to identify key workplace hazards including chemical agents such as dusts, metals, and gases; physical agents such as noise, radiation, and extremes of heat and cold; and microbiological agents. They outline assessment procedures and processes for identifying exposure levels. They also explain how to evaluate risk and follow safety guidelines to control and manage these hazards effectively. Chapters are heavily illustrated with detailed case studies, diagrams, flowcharts, and photos. Practical guidelines are provided for managing each hazard type. The third edition has been extensively revised and updated and reflects the Workplace Health and Safety legislation relating to the hazards discussed. Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene is an ideal resource for students of Occupational Health and Safety, and a professional reference for Occupational Hygienists, Occupational Health and Safety professionals, and anyone working in an Occupational Health and Safety role.
