Occupational Health Pocket Consultant enjoyed substantial international success in its third edition, with sales of over 7,000 copies worldwide. It is important to note that this book covers both medicine (managing occupational disease) and hygiene (prevention of occupational disease and minimisation of risks). No other similarly brief synoptic book provides this coverage. Additional sections on nursing and law extend its unique characteristics. In this thoroughly revised edition, the book has been reorganised to mirror the new international regulations on occupational health, which give particular emphasis to assessment and management of risk.
