<p>Occupational Health Pocket Consultant enjoyed substantial international success in its third edition, with sales of over 7,000 copies worldwide. It is important to note that this book covers both medicine (managing occupational disease) and hygiene (prevention of occupational disease and minimisation of risks). No other similarly brief synoptic book provides this coverage. Additional sections on nursing and law extend its unique characteristics. In this thoroughly revised edition, the book has been reorganised to mirror the new international regulations on occupational health, which give particular emphasis to assessment and management of risk.</p>

<p>Authors Low (Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore) and Aw (medicine, National U. of Singapore) believe that Singapore's self-financed Central Provident Fund (CPF) "based on work effort rather than entitlement was laudable in contrast to Western welfarism of pay-as-you-go social insurance," but has become inadequate for social protection. After explaining the origins and evolution of the CPF since the 1950s, they provide advice on how to address this problem by examining the domestic and external drivers of the current state of the CPF. They then consider the relative merits of incremental and drastic overhauls of the CPF in the context of comparative examinations of other countries' welfare models. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
