Fundamentals of Occupational Safety and Health 8th edition 2023 by Mark A. Friend and James P. Kohn. The field of occupational safety and health is concerned with minimizing loss by aiding in the preservation and protection of both human and other physical assets in the workplace. The discipline is far-reaching in both scope and practice. It primarily involves monitoring the workplace and advising employers or management on the best ways to prevent and minimize losses. Final responsibility for action always rests on the shoulders of the management, as they are ultimately accountable for workplace behaviors. Management is held accountable by stockholders or owners of the company, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the courts, and even public opinion. The job of the safety and health professional is to assist management by observing the workplace and providing guidance.
