Riassunto

Safety at Work is widely accepted as the authoritative guide to safety and health in the workplace. Written by a team of specialist contributors under the joint editorship of John Ridley and John Channing, the book covers all aspects of safety management. It has been prepared in association with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health to cover their academic requirements for membership and has become essential reading for all students of the subject.

The fifth edition has been extensively revised to encompass recent changes in health, safety, employment and environmental legislation. Major revisions have been made to the text throughout the book to reflect the new laws, standards and practices. Particular emphasis has been placed on the role of the manager and recognition has been given to the shift in employment numbers from manufacturing to service industries. New chapters cover the influences on health and safety, practical safety management and behavioural techniques and the management of chemicals, ergonomics and the environment.

'Reading this fifth edition is like meeting an old friend after an absence of some years. Essentially the same as it was; honest, factual, full of information; but still as a friend retaining that approachability that made it (and continues to make it) such an important book for all students of the NEBOSH diploma.'
