Özet

Fundamental principles of occupational health and safety, 2nd edition, is a practical guide to developing effective occupational safety and health (OSH) policies and programmes based on the provisions defined in the "core" ILO standards and instruments concerning OSH. It focuses on the key topics essential to promoting and managing national and enterprise OSH systems and presents a concise overview of the issues involved, together with specific guidelines for policy design, implementation and management at both national and enterprise levels. The operational aspects of meeting health and safety requirements are also covered, with detailed sections on legislation and enforcement, occupational health surveillance, and preventive and protective measures, as well as health education and training. This second edition introduces new ILO instruments promoting OSH and new chemical safety information tools, and addresses OSH in the context of globalisation and HIV/AIDS and the world of work. The annexes have also been revised to include checklists for preparing national OSH profiles and enterprise policies, selected excerpts from OSH instruments and up-to-date information sources.

Choice Review

Alli has prepared a guidance document for legislative bodies, administrative agencies, labor organizations, and employers who are responsible for establishing and maintaining programs for protecting worker health and safety. After an overview, chapters discuss policy issues, controls and their implementation, surveillance, prevention, and training. The coverage is broad but abstract, and a longer book with examples from existing occupational health and safety programs would have had a broader appeal. Each discussion topic is a digest of specific Conventions and Recommendations issued by the International Labor Organization (ILO), and researchers will consult the primary documents, available from the ILO Web site . Annexes include a glossary, excerpts from several key Conventions and Recommendations, a bibliography, and a short outline of the ILO's SafeWork program. The entire SafeWork initiative and the International Occupational Safety and Health Information Center, also available from the ILO Web site, provide needed technical details to policy makers, regulatory agencies, and employers. SafeWork sponsors research on prevention and control of workplace hazards, compiles data on international work-related injuries and illnesses, and provides technical assistance, especially for developing countries.
