I used this book to prepare for the Certified Industrial Hygienist exam. I found the book pretty comprehensive but somehow hard to use. Also the formulas in the book don't all match the ones in the ABIH formula sheet. I think it will be a good reference book.

Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

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.
