 | By Princeton Energy Resources International Copyright: 2010 | Status: Published ISBN: 9780470625897 | 1 lb 759 pages Price: $214 USD  |
One Line Description
Covering all of the issues surrounding electrical safety in an industrial setting, this handbook is the definitive text for the electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, or manager, with an international scope.
Audience
Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, managers, plant engineers, technicians, operators.
Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, managers, plant engineers, technicians, operators.
Description
This text is a guide to inform working professionals in multiple industries, mainly the power industry, about safety procedures that should be used on the job. It informs the reader about the hazards in the work place and what to do to make sure he/she is protected.
The reader will learn about proper organizational skills to avoid hazardous injuries, proper environment monitoring, and how to ensure proper protection is used on the job. The authors cover not only obvious electrical safety considerations, such as exposed wires, etc., but everything related to electrical safety, such as air quality, sound level, and radiation. This is the most comprehensive reference book for any company to keep employees informed and to keep their work environment safe.
