Risk assessment and risk-based decision-making are essential skills in today?s health and safety fields, but a convenient pocket or desk reference has been needed with enough theory to begin a preliminary risk assessment, together with clear explanations, applications, and worked examples. This book addresses that need. It provides a practical resource for estimating risks in various applications, as well as assisting with the design of larger project-based assessments. It explains the two main numeric procedures: probabilistic, or ?catastrophic?, and quantitative, or ?chronic?, risk assessment, along with chapters on qualitative risk assessment and approaches to food-related risks. A final chapter examines how people perceive risk, and provides advice and assistance in the development of essential, effective risk communication with the public and withthe media. Numerous case studies are analyzed. Assessment and Communication of Risk: A Pocket Text for Health and Safety Professionals is a one-stop resource for students in all health and safety fields, and provides a valuable guide for existing field practitioners in public health, occupational health and safety, hospitals, environmental assessment offices, and ministries of health, labour, and the environment. 606 $aPublic health 606 $aOccupational health services 606 $aCommunication in science 606 $aCommunication in medicine 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aOccupational Health 606 $aScience Communication 606 $aHealth Communication 606 $aEnvironmental Health 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aOccupational health services. 615 0$aCommunication in science. 615 0$aCommunication in medicine. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 14$aPublic Health. 615 24$aOccupational Health. 615 24$aScience Communication. 615 24$aHealth Communication. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 676 $a354.81150006 700 $aLiberda$b Eric$01379226 702 $aSly$b Timothy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735792603321 996 $aAssessment and Communication of Risk$93418695 997 $aUNINA
