I used this book in a graduate Industrial Safety Management class, and agree with reviewer David Sullivan's assessment that this book is a good general overview of occupational safety and health issues, but that it is definitely more useful at the undergraduate level. I have a decent background in this area, and found no groundbreaking insights in this text, though I do believe that people (and especially students) new to the field would find it quite useful.
The book is a fairly general survey of the issues inherent to contemporary occupational safety and health, and has good general overviews of all important large-scale issues. There are errors in this book, some are small, and most are fairly excusable, though there are generalizations and errors in the Electrical Hazards chapter (Chapter 12) that are fairly egregious. I thought that Chapter 21 ("Safety Analysis, Prevention, and Management") was one of the best chapters in the book: the introduction to techniques like FMEA and FTA was good, though I would have put this chapter considerably earlier in the text. The chapter on Worker's Compensation (Chapter 5) was positively painful to read, though I doubt that there is much that can be done to make the material especially captivating.
Some of the material in this book is dated, but in general I think this is a satisfactory book to be used as an introduction to occupational safety students.

This book is a good introduction into occupational safety. Some of the information, especially in the area of robotics safety and automation, is quite dated. While this book is used in some graduate programs, it is more suited for the undergraduate. Important historical items such as Chernobyl were left out while other less fatal disasters were left in, but we can forgive the author if he includes it in his subsequent version.
I would encourage the author to include references to other safety standards and more details into cumulative trauma disorders in the subsequent volume.

The above reviewer will obviously have occupational health issues, because smoking weed while writing reviews will cause one to be disoriented, lose their balance, and possibly fall off a 100 story construction site beam.
This is an amazing book. While covering all of the topics in depth, this book is also easy to read, presenting the material in a fashion that allows the reader to recieve a complete understanding of the topic. This too was an assigned book for my class, and I'll be lucky if I get to take a Goetsch class again.
