Washington DC Review - Joy Erdman

I predict that the Complete Confined Spaces Handbook will become the reference of choice in the field of confined spaces. While the book uses U.S. standards, the basic principles could easily be applied to other countries. This is an excellent reference book, college textbook, or field companion, and once you start reading, you may find it so interesting that you won t be able to come up for air. Hopefully, you will read this book before you are required to investigate a confined space facility.
