Inhaltsangabe

Health and safety legislation has significantly changed over the last 10 years and regulation is now required in service sector industries as well as those described as 'dangerous', after increasing complaints of muscle injury and stress-related illnesses.

This revised edition of Health and Safety at Work has been updated to include the latest legislation and considerations required for your workplace including: Construction Regulations (2007); Smoking at work (Health Act 2006); Principles of good practice (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations); Work at height (2005); Control of noise at work (2005); Behavioural society; and Workplace exposure limits.

This practical guide continues to provide advice on how to establish procedures in your organization. Written in jargon-free language, it cuts through the legal complexities to enable your full understanding of the law and your peace of mind when putting procedures in place.
