Editorial Reviews
Review
"The fifth edition of this respected guidebook balances OH theory and practice and is relevant across the OH disciplines...The breadth of coverage, from Legionnaires' disease to locus of control, and from noise rating curves to retirment on health grounds, gives a lot of punch to this pocket consultant."
