Equips practitioners to solve real-world ethical challenges and strengthen their ethical reasoning skills across OEHS

Ethical Decision-making in Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety offers a comprehensive and practical guide to ethics in the occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) professions. By comparing professional codes of ethics across disciplines and integrating a structured decision-making algorithm, it equips readers with the tools to navigate complex ethical dilemmas. Rich case studies illustrate how ethical principles and professional standards can be applied in real-world settings.

This book will allow readers to:



Apply relevant professional codes of ethics to guide ethical decision-making using a structured ethical decision-making algorithm
Navigate safety, industrial hygiene, occupational and environmental health nursing, and occupational and environmental health medicine
Address emerging and contemporary issues, such as the ethical issues brought about by globalization and using artificial intelligence in the practice of OEHS
Understand the enforcement of ethical obligations and the consequences of ethical lapses
Benefit from the authors’ combined decades of teaching ethics to students and professionals across all OEHS disciplines at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Southern California Education and Research Center in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health

Designed for both practitioners and students, this book fosters ethical sensitivity and provides a clear framework for responsible, informed action in OEHS practice.
