A practical guide to industrial operations and their effects on the health of workers in more than forty different industries and occupations. Outlines the general format of a plant survey; details the common unit operations encountered in many different industrial settings; contains a concise review of selected industrial production facilities for industries employing large numbers of workers. For each setting or process, the book explains: how the operation is conducted; the materials in use; air contaminants that may exist in the workplace, with identification of their physical form and origin; the physical stresses encountered in the industry, including heat, vibration, and noise problems; and recommended control procedures enabling the reader to gauge the conformity of a given plant with good engineering practice.
This is a great resource for any Industrial Hygienist or safety professional. Breaks down common industrial processes into easy to understand poetential exposures and hazards. I use this book all the time. It is a great reference.
