Occupational health

"Health and safety managers, physicians, industrial hygienists and occupational health nurses are required to conduct risk assessments and manage the identified risks. This book provides the theory and the practice of risk assessment and management in the context of workplace hazards based on a rational conceptual framework. It also links the theory with the practice of risk assessment and management. Applications of risk assessment and management in various industrial sectors are discussed and examples are provided based either on the hazards or the processes involved. It provides the individual responsible, as well as those involved in providing input into the process of risk assessment and management in the workplace, with a clear understanding of the issues and the activities involved."--Jacket.
