4.0 out of 5 stars ASP/CSP Preparation, June 28, 2005

By	CR (NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene (Hardcover)

This book is referenced on the Greater Baton Rouge ASSE website and is used for preparation for the Certified Safety Professional Certification. I also recommend adding Safety and Health for Engineers (Roger Brauer) for CSP prep.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good overview both for beginning and studying IH, June 3, 2007

By	S_S (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

I used an earlier edition of this book in graduate school and now used this book in my studies for the CIH exam. Great overview, written in plain language. Some calculation information is also included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene Fifth Edition, February 16, 2009

By	Rick Lawson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is very thorough and makes a good field technical manual, but is very hard to read, in the sense that it is a dry, textbook-type, regulation-similar read. I would not read it if I didn't have to and as a desk manual it's not quite as good as just a OSHA guide. So, not bad, okay, read because I have to, but not a choice book.
