The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 4,700 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2020, most frequently in transportation-related incidents. The same year, approximately 2.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers. According to the National Safety Council, the cost in lost wages, productivity, medical and administrative costs is close to 1.2 trillion dollars in the US alone. It is imperative—by law and ethics—for engineers and safety and health professionals to drive down these statistics by creating a safe workplace and safe products, as well as maintaining a safe environment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSafety and Health for Engineers\u003c\/i\u003e is considered the gold standard for engineers in all specialties, teaching an understanding of many components necessary to achieve safe workplaces, products, facilities, and methods to secure safety for workers, users, and the public. Each chapter offers information relevant to help safety professionals and engineers in the achievement of the first canon of professional ethics: to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The textbook examines the fundamentals of safety, legal aspects, hazard recognition and control, the human element, and techniques to manage safety decisions. In doing so, it covers the primary safety essentials necessary for certification examinations for practitioners.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Readers of the fourth edition of \u003ci\u003eSafety and Health for Engineers\u003c\/i\u003e readers will also find:  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdates to all chapters, informed by research and references gathered since the last publication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most up-to-date information on current policy, certifications, regulations, agency standards, and the impact of new technologies, such as wearable technology, automation in transportation, and artificial intelligence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew international information, including U.S. and foreign standards agencies, professional societies, and other organizations worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpanded sections with real-world applications, exercises, and 164 case studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn extensive list of references to help readers find more detail on chapter contents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA solution manual available to qualified instructors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSafety and Health for Engineers\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal textbook for courses in safety engineering around the world in undergraduate or graduate studies, or in professional development learning.
