A chemical engineer with a West Virginia environmental company specializing in eastern Europe and Latin America, Cheremisinoff concentrates on high-risk health and safety concerns in the chemical, petroleum, laboratory, and manufacturing industries, particularly inhalation hazards and direct chemical exposure and risks regulated by the US Occupational Health and Safety Administration. He writes specifically for process safety professionals with a background in safety management and engineering, and so does not define terms commonly used in the profession. His work is designed as a supplement rather than a full handbook, neglecting such safety concerns as hearing, back protection, and stress fatigue. Annotation c.
