Editorial Reviews

A hazardous materials consultant aids managers responsible for establishing a safe, healthy, and legally compliant workplace. While the initial chapter is on safety management theory, the main focus is on safety management realities and improvement strategies through hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis, safety procedure development, auditing, accident/incident investigation, human factors and ergonomics management, other prevention and training approaches, and emergency situation management. The author also discusses the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and why companies should care about off-the-job employee issues. Includes sample forms, checklists, and charts.
