Health and Safety in BriefEdition 4

In plain English, John Ridley guides the reader through Health and Safety legislation and explains how to comply with it in practical terms. The text is clearly laid out, distinguishing between bulleted summaries of legislative requirements and the author's advice and commentary.

By condensing the fundamental contents of the author's acclaimed Safety at Work into a practical and affordable volume, Health and Safety in Brief has established itself as a valuable handbook for safety representatives and managers, as well as an essential revision aid for students on introductory health & safety and general management courses such as:

* IOSH Managing Safely
* CIEH Advanced Certificate in Health & Safety in the Workplace
* British Safety Council Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health
* NVQs in Occupational Safety and Health
