`Review from previous edition "*****" - Essential for the
bookshelf.'
Occupational Medicine
`With contributions from the leading lights in the field, this is
exactly what it says it is. The foreword is written by national
director for Health at Work, Carol Black, who describes this
handbook as an authoritative resource; it is indeed.'
Nursing Standard
`Content and presentation are excellent throughout, with an
uprecedented amount of carefully graded, latest updated information
to find and use immediately in every kind of urgent need, whether
for immediate hands-on usage or training/testing situations. This
handbook is essential for serious students of occupational health
as well as those already responsible for workplace life and health
at all and any levels.'
RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal
Oxford Handbooks series seems to have succeeded again; this book is
comprehensive in coverage of a range of areas in occupational
health, and has ready references for most topics. Those working in
clinical OH practice would certainly benefit from having this book
available in their clinics. s
`...this book is a fine addition to the occupational physician's
library; they may need to keep it chained because there will be
many members of the occupational health team who will want to
borrow it'
