Description

Practical software use in the "real world" of occupational health and safety is the thrust of this book. MICROCOMPUTER APPLICATIONS in OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY stresses three major phases: 1. Recent trends, 2. New Software, and 3. Practical uses of existing software, e.g. word processing, Lotus 1-2-3, CAD (computer-aided design). Your computer can give you reports, tracking medical records, and engineering modeling, for example, in a fraction of the time formerly required.
