Review Safety and Environmental Training: Using Compliance to Improve Your Company (Industrial Health & Safety) / John Wiley & Sons:Safety and Environmental Training Using Compliance to Improve Your Company Written with an insider's candor, this easy-to-use guide gives practical information on how to implement, develop, or improve employee training programs in compliance with current governmental legislation. It shows how, in actual practice, compliance with training requirements can be designed to improve multiple aspects of a company's operations. Taking a proactive stance, Safety and Environmental Training is the only reference of its kind which demonstrates proven methods on how managers can incorporate regulatory compliance into everyday work routines so that it becomes a logical, effective, and positive force in the workplace. Virtually all of the OSHA and EPA regulations impacting industrial safety and environmental health contain employee training requirements. The training task usually falls into the laps of human resource development professionals, safety engineers, and environmental managers, who often lack a full understanding of the safety and environmental regulations that they are supposed to implement. This book presents a practical approach to employee safety and environmental training that aids managers in improving operations while meeting the training requirements of many of the hazardous materials, protective equipment, hazardous waste, and pollution prevention regulations which impact both business and industry. Training expert Dawn Baldwin provides a self-teaching guide that lets readers develop, implement, or improve employee training programs. Very often a demonstration example will show how training can be accomplished during regular production operations, and incorporated into standard operating procedures, which makes the message all the more relevant and meaningful to employees. While there are a number of training books available, none presents safety and environmental training information in a more candid or informative light.

Review Explosion Protection / Butterworth-Heinemann:This book makes Hazardous or Electrical Area Classification simple. In plants processing flammable materials, every effort is made to avoid the escape of such materials and in addition, stringent measures are taken to exclude sources of ignition. A complex array of standards surround this topic which has lead to an overly conservative approach being taken. This type of approach means that much more expensive electrical apparatus than is necessary is installed. To avoid this unnecessary expenditure, Dr Groh clearly explains the relevant standards, so that accurate assessment of the risks associated with hazardous areas is possible. He also identifies possible ignition sources and methods of designing apparatus which do not cause sparks thereby maintaining safety. * Covers must-have information regarding IEC/CENELEC standards in electrical or hazardous area classification* Provides a clear overview of a complex area.

Review Physical and Biological Hazards of the Workplace / Wiley-Interscience:The first award-winning edition of Peter Wald and Gregg Stave’s Physical and Biological Hazards of the Workplace has become one of the leading references for the practice of occupational and environmental health. During the seven years since the landmark first edition appeared, there have been major revisions of government standards and guidelines for physical agents such as ergonomics, shift work, and electric power, and for biological agents such as tuberculosis and blood-borne pathogens. Now extensively updated and expanded, this book continues to be a practical "how to" reference for health and safety professionals. The text is logically organized for quick reference, with separate sections devoted to physical and biological hazards. Introductory chapters furnish an overview of each broad class of workplace hazard, followed by detailed entries describing specific causes, agents, and organisms. All recognized sources of physical hazards are discussed, including ergonomic hazards; dangers associated with shift work; extremes of temperature and atmospheric pressure; energy hazards including noise, electricity, infrared and ultraviolet light, lasers, magnetic fields, and microwave and RF exposure; and ionizing radiation. Biological agents are covered in equal depth, from the fundamentals of microbiology and infectious disease to the specific details of organic hazards like wood dust and endotoxins–plus viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, envenomations, and more. The latest research and pharmaceutical technologies and their attendant risks are considered, including recombinant organisms, prions, and malignant cells. This book is organized according to a common format that encompasses all the information health professionals require: -Occupational setting -Exposure route and measurement guidelines -Normal physiology and pathophysiology or pathobiology -Diagnosis and treatment -Medical surveillance -Control and prevention -OSHA and NIOSH standards and guidelines The contributors include many of the nation’s leading authorities in occupational and environmental medicine. Drs. [+]Wald and Stave won the Jean Spencer Felton Award for scientific writing in 1995 from the Western Occupational and Environmental Medicine Association for the first edition of Physical and Biological Hazards of the Workplace. The first edition is also on the Core Recommended Reading List from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. With a foreword by Dr. James P. Hughes and extensive references to the broader body of professional literature, this is an indispensable first source of information and guidance for both primary care professionals and occupational health and industrial hygiene specialists. No other single reference addresses the full spectrum of physical and biological workplace hazards. Physical and Biological Hazards of the Workplace covers the subject with unparalleled clarity, precision, and authority.
