Hooper's Suggested Reading ListPaul Hooper, DC Over the past few years of writing this column, I have received numerous requests for information on how to get started as an industrial consultant. My first response is to suggest that it's time to become familiar with the territory, i.e., what the literature says about work-related musculoskeletal injuries. To accomplish this, I think it is necessary to do a fair amount of homework. Let me suggest the following resources.
