Download or read book An Investigative Approach to Industrial Hygiene written by Lester Levin and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It normally takes years for industrial hygienists to develop the strong investigative skills needed to accurately identify the causes of work-related health problems. In far less time, you can acquire successful investigative strategies from this collection of intriguing case studies drawn from the experience of Lester Levin - a safety professional who has been investigating and solving occupational health problems for nearly 40 years. An Investigative Approach to Industrial Hygiene: Sleuth at Work opens by outlining how the profession grew out of the need to combat the growing threats to health, particularly epidemics, brought on by rapid industrial progress. It discusses the economic, sociological, technological, and legal obstacles that slowed the development of effective industrial hygiene practices. The 12 case studies read like mystery stories. In "The Fire Next Door," "No Sense of Danger," and "The Plastic Makers' Infirmity," you will see how a veteran industrial hygienist probes into the origins of workplace illness and, in each case, solves the problem. Along the way, your own growing investigative skills will be tested as you yourself look for telltale clues to each mystery. The book concludes by spotlighting cosmetologists and firefighters - two professional groups with distinctively high exposure to health and safety hazards - and describes how they cope with their respective work-related dangers. Uniquely engaging and informative, An Investigative Approach to Industrial HygieneSleuth at Work, will serve the diverse information needs of industrial hygienists, occupational physicians, nurses and other health practitioners, plant supervisors, employee relations managers, attorneys, and claims and insurance adjustors.
Download or read book Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene written by Martin B. Stern and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the only textbook available today that covers all of the critical elements of industrial hygiene ó conceptual information, computational coverage, case studies, and sample problems and exercises ó in one volume. Organized around the basic rubrics of industrial hygiene, this book helps students to think like industrial hygienists while offering the latest techniques for practicing professionals. Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene is the most complete reference available on IH, and is also an ideal study aid for exam preparation. This is the first and only textbook that includes all critical computations for each concept covered. Each chapter discusses a different hazard and how to recognize, evaluate, and control it. The advantage of this approach is clear; technical issues, instrumental techniques, engineering control procedures ó relevant issues from A to Z ó are discussed for each hazard. Chapters conclude with case studies that offer critical insight into the practical aspects of the field. The book also covers emerging issues that will affect industrial hygienists in the future. The book includes real-life situations and experiences to demonstrate practical applications of concepts presented in the text. For students, Applications and Computational Elements of Industrial Hygiene offers critical material formerly scattered across multiple sources. For seasoned industrial hygienists, this is an essential problem-solving tool and state-of-the-art reference that consolidates and updates previously scattered information.

In the course of its nearly six decades in print, it has evolved into a standard reference for the fields of occupational health and toxicology. The volumes on Industrial Hygiene are cornerstone reference works for chemists, engineers, toxicologists, and occupational safety personnel. Since the 5th edition was published, the field of IH has changed with personnel often working for multinational firms, self-employed, at small consulting firms. Their environment has changed and expanded, and thus also the types of information and resources required have changed. The traditional areas of interest to occupational health and safety professionals include anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of potential hazards. In addition to these, the 6th edition provides information and reliable resources to prepare for natural disasters, exposures to biological agents and potential acts of terrorism.
