Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features The American Society of Safety Professionals’ (ASSP) announcement of the publication of the third edition of its “Safety Professionals Handbook,” which helps safety professionals expand their knowledge, advance their careers and improve safety at work.
ASSP noted that the handbook, first released in 2008, has become a standard reference guide for safety professionals and students across all industries, and has been adopted by several colleges as a classroom text. Approximately 90 expert practitioners present the latest research and practical applications in occupational and environmental safety and health in ways that can be easily understood at all levels of experience. Essential topics include regulatory guidance, science and engineering, cost analysis and budgeting, benchmarking and performance criteria, and hazardous materials handling.
