Doody Review Services
Reviewer:J. Thomas Pierce, MBBS PhD (Navy Environmental Health Center)
Description:In its fourth edition, this book provides a complete guide to common occupational injuries and environmental illnesses, their diagnosis and treatment, and preventive and remedial measures in the workplace and the community. It rather thoroughly addresses ergonomics, clinical toxicology, and industrial hygiene, among many other important issues.
Purpose:This edition continues to provide detailed coverage of diagnosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of occupational injuries and occupational and environmental illnesses. Like other volumes in the series, it is intended to be practical as well as concise.
Audience:This book's appeal is to a broad range of professionals, certainly occupational and environmental medicine physicians and allied personnel. Its dual goals of being concise, yet comprehensive, will likely recommend it to primary care physicians and their consultants as well.
Features:This new edition features the latest OSHA/NIOSH guidelines, a detailed diagnostic checklist for major diseases, clinically relevant perspectives on disability prevention, and a step-by-step review of how to effectively manage an occupational health and safety program.
Assessment:Given the four-year span since the third edition, this 2007 publication allows inclusion of a more global approach. Both by virtue of international authorship and scope, its appeal is quite a bit broader.
