Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite many advances, 20 American workers die each day as a result of occupational injuries. And occupational safety and health (OSH) is becoming even more complex as workers move away from the long-term, fixed-site, employer relationship. This book looks at worker safety in the changing workplace and the challenge of ensuring a supply of top-notch OSH professionals. Recommendations are addressed to federal and state agencies, OSH organizations, educational institutions, employers, unions, and other stakeholders. The committee reviews trends in workforce demographics, the nature of work in the information age, globalization of work, and the revolution in health care deliveryâ€"exploring the implications for OSH education and training in the decade ahead. The core professions of OSH (occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and occupational medicine and nursing) and key related roles (employee assistance professional, ergonomist, and occupational health psychologist) are profiled-how many people are in the field, where they work, and what they do. The book reviews in detail the education, training, and education grants available to OSH professionals from public and private sources.

Book excerpt: The science of occupational hygiene is growing, as is awareness amongst Australian employers of the importance of minimising occupational health and safety risk. Occupational Hygiene and Risk Management offers an innovative approach to learning about the practice and principles of occupational hygiene and managing risk in the workplace. This new edition of this widely used textbook has been extensively updated with new material on legislation and Australian and New Zealand standards. It also includes expanded sections on risk analysis and management. The theory of occupational hygiene is brought to life through case studies, illustrations and practical examples. Occupational hygiene aims to minimise ill-health from exposure to hazardous events by a process of identification, evaluation and control. These three stages form the foundation of this textbook as physical, psychological and emotional health risks are examined across the following topics: * Hazard identification * Dusts and particulate * Metals * Chemical contaminants * Noise and vibration * Heat and cold * Radiation and pressure * Biological hazards * Ergonomics * Risk analysis * Control * Risk management Occupational Hygiene and Risk Management is accompanied by a website with discussion questions, case studies, further readings and teacher resources, creating an invaluable resource for students and professionals.

Book excerpt: In keeping with a congressional mandate (Public Law 104-484) and the Chemical Weapons Convention, the United States is currently destroying its chemical weapons stockpile. The Army must ensure that the chemical demilitarization workforce is protected from the risks of exposure to hazardous chemicals during disposal operations and during and after facility closure. Good industrial practices developed in the chemical and nuclear energy industries and other operations that involve the processing of hazardous materials include workplace monitoring of hazardous species and a systematic occupational health program for monitoring workers' activities and health. In this report, the National Research Council Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program examines the methods and systems used at JACADS and TOCDF, the two operational facilities, to monitor the concentrations of airborne and condensed-phase chemical agents, agent breakdown products, and other substances of concern. The committee also reviews the occupational health programs at these sites, including their industrial hygiene and occupational medicine components. Finally, it evaluates the nature, quality, and utility of records of workplace chemical monitoring and occupational health programs.

Book excerpt: Managing safety in the workplace requires a wide range of safety and health subjects to be mastered. Traditionally, this has been achieved by reference to an encompassing text such as Safety at Work - widely acknowledged as the authoritative guide to safety and health in the workplace. Written by a team of specialist contributors under the joint editorship of John Ridley and John Channing, it has been prepared in association with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health and covers their academic requirements for membership. In order to make elements of this authoritative work available to those who require information on only one of the major aspects of occupational safety and health, the following modular texts, drawn from the fifth edition of Safety at Work, are now available: Safety Law Risk Management Occupational Hygiene Workplace Safety These separate texts include all the latest changes in health, safety, employment and environmental legislation and are essential reading for all who need to have knowledge of the subject. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the manager and recognises the shift in employment numbers from manufacturing to service industries. Important coverage is given to the influences on health and safety, practical safety management and behavioural techniques and to the management of chemicals, ergonomics and the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial hygienists are being called on to provide expertise in more and more different fields. It is often difficult to keep up with the latest technologies in all these fields. This quick reference includes terms found in journals, books, manufacturers' literature, and other sources used daily by industrial hygienists and others. It is filled with nearly 5,000 terms in industrial hygiene, safety, and occupational medicine, plus relevant terms and abbreviations from acoustics, physics, chemistry, and biology. It contains vital information pertaining to bacteriology, environmental health, epidemiology, illumination, mathematics, medicine, microscopy, mineralogy, and other fields. Designed in an easy-to-access format, this handy sourcebook also includes terms and abbreviations used by government to enforce regulations in occupational health and safety. All information is presented in simple, non-technical language for easy understanding. In the health and safety field the disciplines of environmental health, industrial hygiene, occupational health, and safety are managed, supervised, and addressed by single groups instead of separately, as was previously done. As a result the health/safety professionals in industry today must be generalists instead of specialists. This book has been expanded in recognition of the changes in the field of Industrial hygiene. What's new in the new edition: Contains 50% more terms, definitions and abbreviations Increases coverage on each discipline Includes new entries from other disciplines such as epidemiology, microbiology, indoor air quality environmental health, and sanitation Features

This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent International surveys in Occupational Health have demonstrated the occurrence of a wide variety of health problems affecting the working populations, particularly in the developing world. Workers are increasingly exposed to new health hazards associated with industrialization and mechanization in agriculture, small scale industries, mining and construction as they are not equipped with essential protective measures against occupational health risks. Over the past decades, there has been a considerable increase in the use of chemicals in industries. The industrial activities involving hazardous chemicals have the potential to cause occupational diseases, accidents, and pollution to the environment, if effective chemical safety measures are not observed. The indiscriminate, negligent handling of chemicals in work activities may be associated with the risk of occupational diseases. There is a growing need to create an effective control system in the processes involved and continuous care during manufacture, treatment of effluents, packaging, Storage, transportation, use and sale. This implies that the physician must be able to recognize work related illnesses so as to take appropriate action, not only to institute proper treatment, but to assure that patient care is coordinated with management of working environment by those in control so that recurrence of such illnesses may be prevented. This book would be useful to Managements of Industrial establishments for scientific selection, placement, and statutory maintenance of personnel by pre-employment, periodical medical examinations for occupational health and safety in industries. This book also provides comprehensive information not only to Industrial Medical and Safety officers but also to the students of Environmental Sciences, Industrial Hygiene, and Industrial safety courses.Contents: 1.

The epidemiological approach to occupational health hazards and problems, including the spread of community diseases in terms of age, social class, and time factors, is discussed. Of interest is the chapter on ergonomics where the interrelations between humans and their occupations are studied. Another useful chapter for administrators in the occupational health sector is the design of an occupational health department and first aid stations. Related topics include management, handling trade unions, and even environmental pollution. Details of occupational medicine in selected countries of the European Economic Community, the work of the WHO and the ILO, and other additional information from countries such as Israel, India. Sudan, and Zambia are included. This book is an informative reading for physicians, nurses, hygienists, ergonomists, biomedical engineers, and students and trainees in occupational medicine.
