Summary
People deal with physical hazards every day at the workplace, in their homes, on the roadways, and in many other areas. In any situation, people face potential hazard—often more than one hazard in each situation—and these hazards often lead to serious injury. But it is possible to mitigate the effects of many of these hazards, or even prevent them altogether?
In Physical Hazard Control: Preventing Injuries in the Workplace, author Frank Spellman focuses on controlling physical hazards at work to prevent injury, illness, and death. This up-to-date edition features the lasted information on proper controls for many types of physical hazards, including layout and building design, safeguarding of machinery, confined space entry, noise, radiation, ergonomics, electricity, thermal stressors, hand tools, machining, mobile equipment, materials handling, and workplace violence.
Discussions of engineering controls, administrative controls (including safe work practices), and the use of personal protective equipment are supplemented with real-world examples and solutions.
The second edition of Physical Hazard Control: Preventing Injuries in the Workplace, presents a completely updated, practical guide focusing on a variety of physical hazards and controls. It is an informative text for students, a quick reference for safety professionals, and a useful guide for anyone looking to improve workplace safety.
