Annals of Occupational Hygiene T. Carter ...provides a mine of information on the development of formalised health and safety management systems across the developed world...As a place for finding valuable and refreshing insights into the way in which a major new strand in prevention of harm from work has evolved it has little competition and will stand as a valuable record for the future.
