ABSTRACT

Now the fundamental contents of the acclaimed Safety At Work are presented here in a user-friendly format, suitable for readers whose roles demand knowledge and competence in health and safety practice.

This will include students for the NEBOSH National General Certificate examinations, and the IOSH Managing Safely and Working Safely awards.

However, Health and Safety, 2nd Edition also encompasses other readers whose roles demand a level of knowledge and competence in health and safety practice, including human resources managers, office and site managers and all line staff with health and safety responsibilities.

Health and Safety In Brief 2nd Edition will prove to be as indispensable as its predecessor to a much wider audience, and as such will be an invaluable addition to the bookshelves of anyone working within the field of safety at work.
