Specific sections are devoted to the development of professional competencies including negotiation, communicating risk to the public, community action, and translating evidence into policy.Written by an international team of experts, and considering both social and scientific advances since the previous edition, this Handbook will assist students, trainees and practitioners around the world with its enriched information on the management of disasters, epidemics, health behaviour, acute and chronic disease prevention, community and government action, environmental heath, vulnerable populations, and more.Review from previous edition All occupational physicians including trainees and those looking to conduct research, practising physicians who interpret workforce data and plan interventions and senior colleagues working at the strategic level will find something of relevance in this book.
