The papers published in Occupational Safety and Hygiene III cover the following topics:
- Occupational safety
- Risk assessment
- Safety management
- Ergonomics
- Management systems
- Environmental ergonomics
- Physical environments
- Construction safety, and
- Human factors.

The contributions are based on research carried out at universities and other research institutions, and on practical studies developed by Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) practitioners within companies. This book will help to get acquainted with the state-of-the-art within the above mentioned domains, as well as with some practical tools and approaches that are currently used by OHS professionals in a global context.
