One capability of professional competent occupational safety practitioners is to be able to accurately assess exposures, characterize risk, determine control and prevention measures and manage operations with practices that are focused on continuous improvement, this book is a vital resource for building that capability.
—Anthony Veltri, Ed.D., Associate Professor, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety Oregon State University"There is particularly interesting content on the important role health and safety professionals can play in a company’s recruitment process and in disciplinary procedures (after health and safety violations). … Schneid challenges the reader to help raise the health and safety profession’s game and suggests ways in which they can energise employees’ "safety creativity" to bring about a cultural shift in attitude and ways of thinking about safety."
—Donald Muir for healthandsafetyatwork.com, November 2014"The book is very well illustrated with colorful maps, symbols, fonts, and websites that give us the show part of the "show and tell" and make things even more clear. Muehlenhaus writes with knowledge, experience, and humor which further makes this an excellent text for undergrads to those who have started cartography with pen and ink."
—Rebecca Lowery, Map and Data Services Librarian, The University of Illinois at Chicago in WAML Information Bulletin, Vol. 45, No 3
