Download or read book Industrial Hygiene written by Frances Alston and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past forty years, the Industrial Hygiene profession has significantly grown, and is expected to continue to grow as workplaces evolve in the development, management, and usage of hazardous materials. This growth in the profession is also related to the shift in public knowledge and perception regarding the acceptance of the health risk from activities performed at work and home. As time progresses, workplaces are being regulated to not only minimize the health imparts to the workforce, but also decrease the likelihood of negatively impacting the environment. Society has become more educated on the potential impacts on human health and the environment that hazardous materials, activities, and environments can pose. As such, there has been a noticeable decrease in the acceptance of risk by workers and the public. The accepted standard of performance for Industrial Hygiene has grown beyond compliance, but now also focuses on improving existing processes and practices to create a workplace free from work related injury and illness. Features: Shows application of risk mitigating techniques for industrial hygienists Explains the definition of risk and how it applies to health and safety management Defines the need for quality data management and continuous improvement in assessments Describes the role of the Industrial Hygienist and risk management when responding to emergencies Industrial Hygiene: Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach focuses on the implementation of Industrial Hygiene, using a risk-based approach, in an operational environment. The approaches and methods described in this book are designed to assist the Industrial Hygienist in managing workplace risks, including risks associated with anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and hazard control processes.

Download or read book Occupational Health Safety Solutions written by Ian Bollans and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 1266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and safety legislation places significant responsibilities on employers and managers to protect the health and safety of their workers, but the subject area is seen as both complex and technical in nature, often requiring the input of professionals. This book dispels these myths by taking a unique approach, allowing somebody with little or no knowledge of the subject to understand their legal duties and then take a practical step-by-step approach to control workplace risks and prevent accidents. Occupational Health & Safety Solutions: Practical Compliance is a reworking and updating of Jordan Publishing’s Health and Safety Management, published by LexisNexis from 1997 to 2023. The book takes a comprehensive approach by covering the main subject areas of occupational health and safety and is relevant to all types of workplaces. It provides enough background knowledge for the reader to understand what the law requires, and what needs to be done to achieve compliance, with the main emphasis being on practical application. Providing the reader with the ability to manage health and safety through a process of flowcharts, diagrams, and extensive checklists, the book draws on the expertise of the authors and current best practice within industry. Each chapter sets out a clear, practical approach to identifying and managing risks, thereby enabling a robust and successful health and safety management system to be established in any workplace. The book is written for non-safety professionals such as managers and directors who want to discharge and manage their health and safety responsibilities in their workplace without the need to engage a consultant. It will also appeal to the safety professional by providing an authoritative guide to current best practice together with the practicalities of managing health and safety risks.

This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent International surveys in Occupational Health have demonstrated the occurrence of a wide variety of health problems affecting the working populations, particularly in the developing world. Workers are increasingly exposed to new health hazards associated with industrialization and mechanization in agriculture, small scale industries, mining and construction as they are not equipped with essential protective measures against occupational health risks. Over the past decades, there has been a considerable increase in the use of chemicals in industries. The industrial activities involving hazardous chemicals have the potential to cause occupational diseases, accidents, and pollution to the environment, if effective chemical safety measures are not observed. The indiscriminate, negligent handling of chemicals in work activities may be associated with the risk of occupational diseases. There is a growing need to create an effective control system in the processes involved and continuous care during manufacture, treatment of effluents, packaging, Storage, transportation, use and sale. This implies that the physician must be able to recognize work related illnesses so as to take appropriate action, not only to institute proper treatment, but to assure that patient care is coordinated with management of working environment by those in control so that recurrence of such illnesses may be prevented. This book would be useful to Managements of Industrial establishments for scientific selection, placement, and statutory maintenance of personnel by pre-employment, periodical medical examinations for occupational health and safety in industries. This book also provides comprehensive information not only to Industrial Medical and Safety officers but also to the students of Environmental Sciences, Industrial Hygiene, and Industrial safety courses.Contents: 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guidebook for the health and safety of workers and will help to prevent workplace accidents. It covers five sections of work environments with dangerous hazards and high health risk. Every chapter has been expanded to include knowledge and skills to promote and maintain safety and health in a work environment, and these chapters analyse the duties of employers and employees. Risk factors in relation to safety in specific workplaces and issues concerning contamination prevention and control are investigated, and hazards and risks when workers are using equipment or handling hazardous materials and waste are examined. This book includes multiple points of interest for businesses and industries with potentially harmful work environments: Welding works Municipalitys waste collection Working in modern workshops Working on sea vessels Working on offshore wind farms Hazards in welding environments are analyzed and steps to minimizing health and safety risks in welding operations are put forward. Concerning municipality waste collection, this book gives an overview of waste, waste management processes, and research concerning health hazards, illnesses and injuries. As machine tools pose multiple hazards, this book studies requirements for a safe workshop, along with the equipment requirements and their possible hazards, inspection and service procedures. Accidents at sea are still a common occurrence, but significant progress has been made in recent decades and all involved stakeholders enact accident avoidance and mitigation measures in accordance with current norms and legislation. This additional effort was made to present the duties and responsibilities from seafarers up to ship owner and the best practices proposed to conduct successful sea operations without damage or loss. Finally, this guidance presents risks and hazards on health, safety and environmental parameters that inform about the procedures and standards that are applied in the offshore wind industry.
