The Safety Professionals Handbook

"We set out to ensure that this book was first a collection of tried-and-true information."
- Joel Haight, Editor

With nearly 8 years in the making, this is ASSE's most expansive publishing endeavor. "It has a bit of the feel of an encyclopedia, but with more of a story -- and filled with applied and real examples of the points made," says Dr. Haight.

"There is an applied nature to the book that comes from the foundation of the science and engineering of safety," adds Dr. Haight. "Coupled with the insight and creativity of the authors, this has resulted in a book that will provide readers with the tools they need to learn the field and to continue its effective practice all the way to retirement."
