Developed to provide safety and health students with an understanding of the how-tos of implementing an occupational safety and health initiative, the first edition of Occupational Health and Safety Management soon became a blueprint for occupational safety and health management for the smallest- to the largest-sized companies. Competently following in these oversized footsteps, the updated and expanded second edition continues to provide a comprehensive approach to the development and management of safety and health in the workplace.

The price is pretty high when compared to other similar titles. Also, the text repeats the same sentences and sometimes the same paragraphs in different chapters, which is kind of boring.Good appendixes and good guidance to safety professionals, but a good review should correct the issues.

This is a very thorough primer on safety management. One improvement I would make is to better index the information for quick reference, but well written and insightful.

I purchased this book for my Occupational Safety and Health class. It is a good reference material and is worth keeping if you are studying to become a Safety Professional. I am actually using it in another class as well.
