Industrial Safety and Health for Administrative Services

This is one volume of four that comprise the Handbook of Safety and Health for the Service Industry. The introductory material in each volume is the same, and there may be some other overlaps in the contents, but each volume addresses a different general category of workplace environment with a detailed and thorough presentation of its particular risks and regulations. Administrative services includes the information sector (telecommunications, broadcasting, internet service providers, motion picture and video industries, software and other kinds of publishing); the financial and insurance sector; professional and business services (advertising, scientific research, computer systems, employment services, among others); and real estate. For each sector, coverage includes a profile of deaths, injuries, and illnesses; identification of hazards; and applicable OSHA regulations. A final chapter covers workers' compensation. Reese, a seasoned professional with deep experience in the field, has prepared this material for general administrators and for those specifically assigned to understand, educate workers, and enforce precautionary safety measures.
