Management of Occupational Health and Safety

by E. Kevin Kelloway, James Montgomery, Lori D. Francis

Part of The Nelson Series in Human Resources Management, Management of Occupational Health and Safety 5th Edition, is the best-selling text for the Health and Safety course in the Human Resources program. This fifth edition comprises three relatively distinct areas relevant to health and safety. The first set of chapters set the stage by providing an overview of health and safety. The next set of chapters focuses on the types of hazards in the workplace and the last chapters in the book speak more directly to human resource managers and outline some of the major ways in which they become actively involved in health and safety. 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. 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.

This textbook was so littered with spelling and grammatical errors I was embarrassed for the authors. It’s the seventh edition, there is literally no excuse. Reading something so carelessly put together really devalued the entire textbook for me.

Once again, Nelson publishing knows how to design a textbook. The layout is clean, case studies are relevant and helpful, information presented in logical order.

It's not the sort of thing I'd read for fun, but it is well-done.

Read the 8th Edition

In my opinion it did not cover workplace harassment in enough detail.
Another gap was in the Emergency Planning chapter. They really should have had more information on "Getting back to Normal" as this is a key issue in Emergency Management.

Canadian-based OHS safety textbook.

[Susan Novack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Typical textbook read. Anectodes are interesting and layout better than most. Recommend for Human Resources specialists and all employees interested in health and safety at work.

So many typos and grammatical errors. Headers are not easily distinguishable.
