Best books to learn Occupational health and safety, in order
Safety work is a real profession with a real body of knowledge, and the reading builds in layers: first the principles of hazard recognition and control, then the regulatory framework — OSHA standards and compliance — then safety management systems and the culture side of getting workers to buy in. That last layer only makes sense once you know the technical material it's built on. Books prepare you for credentials like the ASP/CSP; they don't substitute for the exams or the field experience those require.
