Los 46 capítulos de los que consta el tratado han sido revisados y actualizados en profundidad; algunos se han fusionado, otros han sido redactados por autores distintos respecto de las ediciones previas y, por último, se ha añadido uno nuevo relativo a la salud laboral y la mujer, así como al impacto de las condiciones laborales sobre la fertilidad y el embarazo. Numerosos capítulos (accidente de trabajo y enfermedad profesional, incapacidad laboral, valoración del daño, derecho sanitario, derecho laboral, patologías emergentes, etc.) adquieren especial relevancia en torno a la pericial en salud ocupacional y prevención de riesgos laborales, de ahí su evidente utilidad práctica para los profesionales del Derecho Laboral o materias afines (graduados en Ciencias del Trabajo y técnicos en Prevención de Riesgos Laborales). Se han seleccionado aquellos temas relativos a la seguridad en el trabajo, la higiene industrial, la ergonomía y la psicosociología que mayor repercusión tienen en la génesis de las patologías. Así, este tratado se centra en la vigilancia de la salud, tarea por excelencia de los Servicios de Prevención para conseguir que las empresas sean más saludables. Tratado de Medicina del Trabajo resultará de especial interés para los residentes de Medicina y Enfermería del Trabajo, cuya formación se integra actualmente en las unidades multiprofesionales de medicina y enfermería del trabajo, y que desarrollarán su actividad en las empresas, las mutuas colaboradoras de la Seguridad Social o los Servicios de Prevención. Por todo ello, se incluyen la clásica patología laboral que afecta a los diferentes órganos y sistemas del organismo humano, la toxicología industrial y otros aspectos de interés en vigilancia de la salud, como son la genética aplicada a la salud laboral, la investigación en Medicina del Trabajo, los protocolos de vigilancia de la salud, y la documentación y la organización de la salud laboral en un Servicio de Prevención. Aborda, además, otras especialidades relacionadas con el medio laboral, como la reumatología o la cardiología, que aportan patologías de alta prevalencia entre la población trabajadora.

Environmental regulations provide protection to the public, workers and the environment. To protect themselves from long-term liabilities, however, companies have to do more than just comply with the basic responsibilities. This handbook is designed to introduce terminology, methodology, tools, procedures and practical guidance for incorporating efficient pollution prevention strategies into the overall business plan. It is a company’s responsibility to protect and control its management of waste and pollution, and a company that fails to do so will ultimately inflict a negative impact on its bottom line, especially in financial performance. Responsible Care delivers critical guidelines and rules of thumb required for industrial managers to improve their companies’ profitability through waste reduction, cleaner production technologies and sound management practices.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has updated their recordkeeping requirements for the first time since 1971. This results in a significant number of changes for every employer with ten or more employees, which can often cause confusion and failure to comply. OSHA 2002 Recordkeeping Simplified goes beyond the explanation that OSHA supplies to provide an easy understanding of these new requirements.OSHA 2002 Recordkeeping Simplified provides an easy to follow format that allows all those in charge of recordkeeping to comply with the updated standards. The book follows the standards as OSHA provides them and adds commentary in order to explain and simplify. Jim Roughton provides a comparison of the old standards to the new to allow for an easier transition.The text is divided into several major subject sections. First the requirements are addressed to outline new elements compared to the current requirements. Next the supplement information for each subject area is divided into several parts: The first part reviews the relevant sections of the requirement and provides the basic concepts of how recordkeeping works; the second part provides answers to most frequently asked questions about recording and reporting of occupational injuries and illnesses. These questions and answers elaborate on the basic recordkeeping concepts and are further defined in each section. In addition, a series of flow diagrams are used to track the flow of the standard and examples of citations are offered through case histories.
