Widely accepted as the authoritative guide to safety and health, this book is written by a team of specialist contributors, under the editorship of John Ridley, covering all aspects of safety management. The book is prepared in association with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health to cover their examination requirements. This edition has been revised to reflect major changes in health, safety and employment legislation implemented at the beginning of 1993. Major revisions have occurred in Part I to reflect these new regulations and amendments. In addition, much new material has been added in the chapters dealing with occupational diseases, fire precautions and safe use of chemicals, with all chapters being updated to cover the most recent developments in health and safety laws, standards, techniques and practices.
