safety
Health and safety management is an ongoing concern in today’s
workplace. Effective Environmental, Health, and Safety Management
Using the Team Approach provides today’s safety professionals with
an excellent resource for protecting their organizations’ most
important resource-their employees. The author, a seasoned health

safety management to production and quality control-issues today’s

The system uses a team approach to get every level of an
organization involved in the process of managing safety issues,
with the ultimate goal being the development of a safety culture in
which every employee has a personal interest in protecting their
lives, their property, and their environment.

courses in workplace safety and health, this text offers such
special features as:
* Important checklists, including OSHA-required training,
OSHA-required inspections, and OSHA-required postings and
labeling
* Numerous health and safety resources, Web site addresses, and
