Management of Occupational Health and Safety, Seventh Edition, is the bestselling text for the Health and Safety course in the Human Resources program. Throughout the text, we have provided the reader with current examples, clear definitions of technical terms, and links to the vast amount of information found on the Web. This edition is now available through MindTap, a personalized teaching experience with relevant assignments that guide students to analyze, apply, and elevate thinking--allowing instructors to measure skills and promote better outcomes with ease. Management of Occupational Health and Safety, as part of The Nelson Series in Human Resources Management, is the best source in Canada for consistent, reliable, valid, and current knowledge about HRM practices. OH&S Notebook—The text emphasizes the necessity of satisfying both professional and legal requirements for developing an effective occupational health and safety program, and offers guidelines on how this can be accomplished. OH&S Today—Examples drawn from current events reported in the media pertinent to the content of each chapter. “Using the Internet” exercises provide students with the opportunity to explore relevant Web resources. Exercises allow students to work with the concepts from the chapter and see how they are applied in real-world situations. New four-colour interior design - The inclusion of 4-colour graphics and illustrations to highlight concepts presented in the text will make the sixth edition more engaging for students. New photos, with captions, added throughout the text to give the chapter concepts context and relevance to students. The majority of opening vignettes are new or revised to keep the applications up to date allowing students to more easily contextualize the chapter concepts. New OH&S in Action added to the end-of-chapter application material. This feature simulates the work of an OH&S officer in an organization. Students are presented with a situation, current issue, or occupational health and safety problem and asked to create a response in the form of a plan or a briefing to senior management. Particular attention has been made in this edition to create a stronger link between chapter content and boxed features (OH&S Notebook and OH&S Today), including chapter call-outs and references to these features in text.
