Abstract:

This essentials edition combines the most critical chapters from the Accident Prevention Manual for Business & Industry: Engineering &Technology and the Accident Prevention Manual for Business & Industry: Administration & Programs to provide a single resource for educators and safety professionals. This new slimmed-down version of the National Safety Council's flagship series builds on the outstanding work of previous contributors to the National Safety Council's flagship series. Since 1946, experts from a variety of different subject areas have come together to make the APMs an important resource in support of safety programs and education. The Accident Prevention Manual: Essentials continues in that tradition by compiling the fundamental topics relevant to a safety, health, or environmental professional.

Serving safety professionals with years of experience, individuals new to the field of safety, as well as educators introducing students to a career in the safety industry, the Accident Prevention Manual: Essentials is a valuable source of information that can be incorporated into the goals and objectives of any organization's safety program.
