Healthcare Hazard Control and Safety Management presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage ever published for any healthcare professional serving in safety, occupational health, hazard materials management, quality improvement, and risk management positions.

Here is a single-volume reference that is convenient to use, written in an easy-to-read and understandable format. In addition to providing easily digested information, the author has constructed practical checklists and forms that can be readily put to use.
It is a fact that there is a real need for professionals who understand and can assist in controlling the numerous and serious hazards found in healthcare facilities and resulting from activities within those facilities.

If you are looking for a single volume that covers the areas of life safety, fire prevention, emergency management, biohazards, waste management, healthcare ergonomics, maintenance and engineering hazards, security, radiation and lab safety issues, nursing services and patient care, pharmacy support, food services and sanitation, or environmental services...this book is for you!
