- Provides a reference for the background, meaning, and description of safety and loss prevention terms being used in government, industry, research, and education

- Includes common safety terms, safety engineering aspects, a description of safety organizations, and a list of common safety standards and their scope
The field of safety and loss prevention encompasses myriad unrelated industries and organizations, such as insurance companies, research entities, process industries, and educational organizations. These organizations may not realize that their terminology is not understood by individuals or even compatible with the nomenclature used outside their own sphere of influence. And even though fire protection and environmental professionals use identical and similar terminology, their meanings may be slightly different in selected applications.
An all-encompassing reference, the book uses OSHA standards and interpretations as guidelines for the definitions and explanations. Drawing from the many areas that influence the terminology, it provides a basic understanding of the terms used in lost prevention and control.
Zielgruppe
Professionals in the areas of loss prevention, safety management, loss control, occupational health and safety, workplace safety, security management, fire service protection, industrial hygiene, risk assessment, and compliance law.
