ASP/CSP Preparation
This book is referenced on the Greater Baton Rouge ASSE website and is used for preparation for the Certified Safety Professional Certification. I also recommend adding Safety and Health for Engineers (Roger Brauer) for CSP prep.

Very good overview both for beginning and studying IH
I used an earlier edition of this book in graduate school and now used this book in my studies for the CIH exam. Great overview, written in plain language. Some calculation information is also included.

Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene Fifth Edition
The book is very thorough and makes a good field technical manual, but is very hard to read, in the sense that it is a dry, textbook-type, regulation-similar read. I would not read it if I didn't have to and as a desk manual it's not quite as good as just a OSHA guide. So, not bad, okay, read because I have to, but not a choice book.
