This review is from: Industrial Safety and Health Management (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I bought this as a text. Not bad but not the best either; you'd be better off finding a current year review of the laws as specific for the state that you are doing the work in through a professional safety publishing company. The material on the CD is a waste.
