Arezes P.M., Baptista J.S., Barroso M.P. et al. (eds.) Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health

Springer, 2019. — 765 p. — (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control 202) — ISBN: 978-3-030-14729-7This book explores a number of important issues in the area of occupational safety and hygiene. Presenting both research and best practices for the evaluation of occupational risk, safety and health in various types of industry, it particularly focuses on occupational safety in automated environments, innovative management systems and occupational safety in a global context. The different chapters examine the perspectives of all those involved, such as managers, workers and OSH professionals. Based on selected contributions presented at the 15th International Symposium on Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SHO 2019), held on 15–16 April, 2019, in Guimarães, Portugal, the book serves as a timely reference guide and source of inspiration to OSH researchers, practitioners and organizations operating in a global context.Occupational and Environmental Safety
