Published by IOSH Services (the commercial arm of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health), the volume was designed specifically as a primary textbook for students and practitioners in the field. Core Themes and Purpose: The book focuses on "demystifying" the complex, multi-disciplined area of occupational hygiene by combining elements of physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology into a single management framework. Risk Management: It applies a basic risk assessment framework to control human exposure to hazardous agents at work. Occupational Hygiene: The text bridges the gap between traditional safety and the more complex "health" aspects of risk assessment, which often involve non-immediate or delayed medical effects. Educational Utility: It has been widely used as a core text for the Hazardous Agents module in BSc and professional occupational health and safety degrees. Subjects Covered: The volume provides foundational knowledge on significant workplace health topics, including: - Chemical Agents: Management of hazardous chemicals and understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS); - Physical Hazards: In-depth coverage of noise, vibration, and radiation (including solar); - Biological Hazards: Identification and control of fungi, bacteria, and viruses; - Modern Workplace Issues: Discussion of contemporary concerns like stress at work and the ergonomic impacts of VDU (Visual Display Unit) usage. -- Contents: Foreword; Introduction; 1 Setting Perspectives in Occupational Health; 2 Human Physiology; 3 Chemical Agents; 4 Biological Agents; 5 Noise; 6 Vibration; 7 Thermal Environment; 8 Non-Ionising Radiation; 9 Ionising Radiation; 10 Lighting; 11 Agents of Physical Misfit; 12 Agents of Psychosocial Misfit; 13 Personal Protection; Appendices: - NEBOSH Syllabus - Vocational Standards Knowledge Requirements - Selected List of Websites.…
