Technology : Industrial Health & Safety

Completely revised and updated, this edition introduces basic methods for evaluating work environments in search of threatening physical, chemical and biological agents, as well as hazardous ergonomic factors. The book is divided into relatively short units and appendices that provide concise overviews and descriptions of basic concepts, which are followed by practical technical exercises. These exercises foster the understanding of basic industrial hygiene principles and practices for collection, detection, identification, calculation, and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data. Exercises can be conducted in a setting in which agents and other factors are detectable and measurable, or can be simulated in a classroom or laboratory. This book is an introductory reference for novice environmental and occupational health and safety students and practitioners. It is a valuable tool that fosters the understanding of methods fundamental to industrial hygiene practice, and is just as valuable in a professional's office as it is in the classroom. more...
