Publisher's Synopsis
One of the problems facing people active in the occupational safety and health field is the difficulty of translating terms and concepts from one language to another. This unique five-language glossary provides part of the solution. It contains more than 2500 equivalent terms and expressions (with hundreds of synonyms) from the whole of this interdisciplinary field in English, French, German, Spanish and Russian. In addition to its utility to subject specialists, it will be a valuable language tool for translators and interpreters. Specific subject areas covered include, among others, occupational medicine, occupational hygiene, chemical and physical hazards, protective equipment and clothing, ergonomics and epidemiology. Indexes by subject and language complement this useful contribution to the international safety and health literature.
