Reviews

It is difficult to find a place for criticism. The book can be warmly recommended for all the groups suggested in the preface: medical students, general practitioners and other postgraduates taking courses in occupational medicine, nurses, and clinical consultants....The book is very well written and easy to read.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Heal

An eminently practical book for newcomers to science....Many illustrations, mostly excellent, are provided...This book is an excellent investment, at relatively moderate outlay, for any serious entrant to occupational medicine as well as those with a general interest or involvement in occupational healthcare.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents

I unreservedly recommend this book as essential reading for an aspirant specialist in either Occupational Medicine or Public Health Medicine.
