Critical Aspects of Safety and Loss Prevention

Comprises some 400 alphabetically arranged entries that cover equipment, place names (where major accidents have occurred), abstractions (such as "management" and "inspection"), and some people. The author's purpose is to convey thoughts and observations from his many years in industry, on the reasons why accidents occur and the action needed to prevent them. The alphabetic arrangement of topics may have been convenient for the author, but readers would be better served if material had been organized substantively. No index.
