Book SynopsisThe indispensable resource for health professionals on potentially unsafe chemicals--now fully updated Proctor and Hughes'' Chemical Hazards of the Workplace, Fifth Edition provides a comprehensive reference text for health professionals who need toxicology data on chemicals that may be encountered in various work settings. Building on the success of the Fourth Edition-already a standard text-this new edition updates and revises the more than 600 entries of that text, and also adds monographs on new compounds. Introductory chapters cover toxicological concepts, clinical manifestations of exposure, the diagnosis of occupational disease, and industrial hygiene aspects of chemical exposures. The rest of the text consists of more than 625 alphabetically arranged entries on individual compounds, each of which includes: * Chemical formula * CAS number * 2003 ACGIH (American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists) threshold limit value * SynonymsTrade Review“ … (this book) is a bit of a rare beast in that it is actually an easy-to-read reference book written in a narrative form.” (Health & Safety at Work, July 2005) "A good medical, university or special library serving safety professionals or students of these fields will want to have all of these reference works available for their patrons, and that includes the Proctor and Hughes." (E-STREAMS, January 2005) "...users of this reference may rely on this book to be the 'health' tile in a comprehensive chemical health and safety mosaic." (Facilities Manager, February 2005) "This book provides clinical information emphasizing human studies and cases rather than animal data whenever possible." (Industrial Hygiene News, January 2005) “…a substantial and well-organized text…” (Journal of Applied Toxicology, Vol24.No.6, November/ December 2004) “…(a) detailed book…explained in terms that are easily understood”. (Health & Safety Review, Vol.9, No.8, October 2004) "…an excellent and easy-to-use reference.” (Chemical Health & Safety, September-October 2004) "Health professionals should be pleased to have this updated volume available."

Book SynopsisFire Law The Liabilities and Rights of the Fire Service Thomas D. Schneid Today''s 34,000 fire departments across the country are at increased risk of civil and criminal liability. According to Tom Schneid, municipal departments, volunteer organizations, and industrial fire brigades are more vulnerable than ever before to lawsuits, fines, and other damages, which means that the country''s 1.2 million firefighters simply must gain a working knowledge of the various areas of potential liability if they are to avoid litigation. Fire Law refers to actual court cases, giving readers the fullest possible understanding of issues, facts, court reasoning, and even dissenting opinions.

Book SynopsisHuman Error Reduction and Safety Management Dan Petersen Now in an expanded and updated Third Edition, Human Error Reduction and Safety Management illustrates how managers, by controlling the physical and psychological situations under which workers operate, can modify employees'' behavior in such a way as to reduce error, accidents, and consequently on-the-job injuries and illnesses. While retaining the previous editions'' focus on the role of line management in maximizing safety in the workplace, the book also details the role that upper and middle management must play in implementing programs that can reduce system-caused human error. The Third Edition contains a wealth of new, updated, and expanded information that incorporates Dan Petersen''s comprehensive knowledge and innovative theories, including * A revised model of accident causation that exemplifies the processes and procedures of today''s safety technology * Expanded treatment of the managerial sources of errorTable of ContentsHUMAN ERROR.

Book SynopsisEcological Assessment of Polymers Strategies for Product Stewardship and Regulatory Programs John D. Hamilton and Roger Sutcliffe The expense of providing ecological assessments of new commercial products is formidable. The cost of the failure to comply with the current regulations--measured in fines, liability damages, and loss of public trust--is potentially much, much higher. Establishing effective environmental product stewardship strategies for assessment upfront not only promotes initial and continued compliance, it can reduce costs via the more efficient development of new products. Based on the collaboration of the Rohm and Haas Company and S.C. Johnson Wax with other manufacturers, contract laboratories, universities, and government agencies, Ecological Assessment of Polymers is the first complete reference to provide environment-oriented information about polymers from a product development and regulatory compliance perspective. A number of books deal with the potential hazarTable of ContentsINTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW. Overview of Ecological Toxicity Test Methods. Overview of Ecological Fate Test Methods.
