Features Similar to previous editions, this one is organized into five major sections covering work, environment and health; recognition, assessment, and prevention; hazardous exposures; adverse health effects; and an integrated approach to prevention. Using the section on adverse health effects as an example, the book has been updated in terms of new and expanded treatments (injuries, by Castillo et al.; musculoskeletal disorders, Harris-Adamson et al.; cancer, Ward, respiratory disorders; North and Christiani; neurological disorders, Bleecker; reproductive disorders, Frazier; skin disorders, Tapp and Lushniak; cardiovascular disorders, Roseman; liver disorders, Levy; and kidney disorders, Weaver et al.
