Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This reference text, a new and expanded edition of a well-regarded professional resource, covers virtually every type and category of calculation that environmental and occupational health and safety professionals might encounter on the job. Organized by subject, Definitions, Conversions, and Calculations for Occupational Safety and Health Professionals, Second Edition includes definitions and detailed descriptions of formulas, quantitative relationships, conversion factors, and more. The book includes numerous example problems, drawn from real-life situations, with detailed, step-by-step solutions that don't just provide quick answers but also indicate how the solutions were obtained. Two useful appendices provide a complete list of conversion factors and a first-ever discussion of the effects atmospheric factors can have on measurements. With almost twice as many calculations as the first edition and over 100 example problems, this is the most comprehensive resource available in the field. The second edition promises to be even more useful than the first as a ready reference for practicing professionals and a study guide for students entering health and safety professions or preparing for certification.
