Editorial Reviews
Review
"Occupational health professionals, and indeed anyone whose work involves communicating risk, will find this book an informative and interesting read. I will certainly dip into it the next time I am asked to deliver a presentation on the hazards of a workplace agent or lead a health promotion campaign." (Occupational Medicine, 1 September 2015)
"Even though this is written specifically for an American audience, it is a proper handbook with many checklists, references and examples which should help anyone who may need to communicate risk to do so in an organised and effective manner." (RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, 1 February 2014)
