If you only need the buying answer: the sampled used copy is the cheapest route by far, and the 60-day eTextbook is also below the current paperback. The current paperback is still below the sampled new print comparator and below the sampled lifetime eTextbook. So this is a case where used or short-term digital wins on price, while new print only makes sense if you want a clean copy to keep.

What this book actually teaches
Occupational Safety and Health in the Emergency Services is a safety-focused emergency-services text about risk, standards, policy, exposure, prevention, and operational decision-making in fire and EMS contexts. The book matters because it ties safety thinking to field reality rather than leaving it at the level of compliance language.
That gives it real professional value, especially for readers who expect safety frameworks to keep appearing in training and practice. But the existence of a very low used-copy route changes the price conversation substantially.
What the pricing actually means
The honest low-cost routes here are used print or short-term eText. The current new paperback only becomes the better choice if you specifically want a clean copy to annotate and keep or if used-condition uncertainty matters more to you than the price difference. The educational case for ownership is real; the pricing case for buying new is weaker.
I would lean toward used or short-term digital for the lowest-cost access. I would lean toward the current paperback only for readers who want a clean, durable safety text to keep for later field and training reference.
