ASSE Publishes New College Texts

ASSE has published eight new textbooks for college and university students. Edited by Joel M. Haight, Ph.D., P.E., these peer-reviewed texts were written by SH&E professionals and intended as primary texts for core SH&E undergraduate courses.

Developed from The Safety Professional's Handbook, Second Edition, the textbooks were developed based on a survey of the publication's authors who are university instructors. Each chapter contains learning objectives and review questions.

The textbooks include:

  • Environmental Safety and Health Regulations;
  • Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering;
  • Hazard Prevention through Effective Safety and Health Training;
  • Hazardous Material and Hazard Communication;
  • Industrial Fire Protection;
  • Principals of Industrial Safety;
  • Recognition, Evaluation, and Control of Workplace Health Hazards;
  • Workplace Hazard Prevention Management.

The textbooks provide in-depth analysis and discussion, case studies and examples of the core competencies expected of undergraduates as they enter professional practice, including SH&E regulations, applied science and engineering and best practices.
