| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  A General Overview Of Occupational Safety, This review is from: Occupational Safety and Health for Technologists, Engineers, and Managers (Hardcover) I used this book in a graduate Industrial Safety Management class, and agree with reviewer David Sullivan's assessment that this book is a good general overview of occupational safety and health issues, but that it is definitely more useful at the undergraduate level. I have a decent background in this area, and found no groundbreaking insights in this text, though I do believe that people (and especially students) new to the field would find it quite useful.The book is a fairly general survey of the issues inherent to contemporary occupational safety and health, and has good general overviews of all important large-scale issues. There are errors in this book, some are small, and most are fairly excusable, though there are generalizations and errors in the Electrical Hazards chapter (Chapter 12) that are fairly egregious.

Some of the information, especially in the area of robotics safety and automation, is quite dated. While this book is used in some graduate programs, it is more suited for the undergraduate. Important historical items such as Chernobyl were left out while other less fatal disasters were left in, but we can forgive the author if he includes it in his next version.I would encourage the author to include references to other safety standards and more details into cumulative trauma disorders in the next volume.  Very informative book., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Occupational Safety and Health for Technologists, Engineers, and Managers (7th Edition) (Alternative Etext Formats) (Hardcover) I had to purchase this book for a graduate course in Safety Engineering. I am very new to the field, but I found it extremely helpful, interesting, and useful. At the end of each chapter are reviews and topics which help you to remember the material in the book. I am not done reading it yet, but so far it is very comprehensive and an excellent book, especially for someone who is new to the field of Occupational Safety and Safety Engineering. |
