It is largely written for occupational health practitioners such as occupational physicians, nurses, and safety engineers.

The book covers occupational risks to health care and dental staff in contact with patients, and to those in supporting roles, such as laboratory personnel. Its 46 chapters deal with a wide range of biological, chemical, physical and psychosocial hazards. Each chapter provides an up-to-date overview of risk assess."
