A Personal Focus with [PowerWeb]Create?: Health and Human Performance:
Book by David L. Bever. [McGraw]Create?-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages 512 pages Paperback Published 2001-03-08. Description: A comprehensive and integrated presentation of the principles of general safety, safety education, and personal safety, this text combines a thorough presentation of history and techniques with cutting-edge discussions of personal safety issues. The fourth edition appeals to students considering careers in safety or safety education as well as undergraduates looking for a resource of practical safety information.
      • Review:: 'Solid Text-- definitly not for fun Having just completed a review of this book for a class that I will be teachign in the fall. I will highly reccomend it for anyone teaching a personal safety, or the first parts of drivers education. I think that this book is a great tool for the educational process. Bever, goes to great lengths to stress steps that can be taken to improve the safety of individuals not only in the home, but also in the workplace, and on the road. I highly reccomend this text for either the college or the high school levels, but this definitly isn't a recreational reading book.

Occupational Safety and Health for Technologists, Engineers, and Managers (5th Edition)

Book by David L. Goetsch. Prentice Hall 912 pages Hardcover Published 2004-02-06. Description:

With an eye on the future and a finger on the pulse of today's rapid changes due to global competition, this straightforward, state-of-the-art guide addresses the key issues, concerns, and factors relating specifically to modern workplace environments in the safety and health professions. Highly functional in content and approach, it draws immediate connections between principles and their practices in real-world settings, includes the latest OSHA standards, and approaches safety and health issues from the perspective of Total Quality Management (TQM) and global competitiveness. The author examines accidents and their effects, theories of accident causation, the OSHA Act, standards, and liability, workers' compensation, ergonomic hazards, mechanical hazards and machine safeguarding, falling, impact, acceleration, industrial hygiene, safety analysis and prevention, accident investigation and reporting, ethics and safety, safety, health, and competition in the global marketplace and violence in the workplace. For safety directors and managers.

      • Review:: 'An Good Introductory Text This book is a good introduction into occupational safety. Some of the information, especially in the area of robotics safety and automation, is quite dated. While this book is used in some graduate programs, it is more suited for the undergraduate. Important historical items such as Chernobyl were left out while other less fatal disasters were left in, but we can forgive the author if he includes it in his next version. I would encourage the author to include references to other safety standards and more details into cumulative trauma disorders in the next volume.
      • Review:: 'Excellent Service I was provided quick an excellent service. Keep up the good work!
      • Review:: 'A tremendous book The above reviewer will obviously have occupational health issues, because smoking weed while writing reviews will cause one to be disoriented, lose their balance, and possibly fall off a 100 story construction site beam.

        This is an amazing book. While covering all of the topics in depth, this book is also easy to read, presenting the material in a fashion that allows the reader to recieve a complete understanding of the topic. This too was an assigned book for my class, and I'll be lucky if I get to take a Goetsch class again.

      • Review:: 'Poorly Written This is one of the most poorly written textbooks I've read. The author, who is apparently a Phd, writes with the style of a 7th or 8th grader; he uses poor grammar, is painfully repetitive, uses jargon from differing areas of specialty (such as medical terms that require a medical dictionary to understand), leaves out information that should be there (based on the topics covered in my construction safety class), includes irrelevant information, and is flat out wrong about some topics (UL and ASTM would be interested to know "any relationship between a fire rating and the reality of fire resistance may be little more than coincidental".) This is especially frustrating considering this is the fourth edition. There is some evidence that the author has substantial knowledge about the topic. However, he is out of date in some areas and, in general, he presents that knowledge poorly. Also, judging from the breadth of topics this author had written about it appears the old cliche is true: "Jack of all trades. Master of none." While there is some decent information in this book, it is a chore to read. This was a required text for my class. If you have a choice in the matter choose something (anything) else.
