Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Safety at Work is widely accepted as the authoritative guide to safety and health in the workplace and covers all aspects of safety management.

The sixth edition has been revised to cover recent changes to UK practice and standards in health, safety, employment and environmental legislation. It also incorporates EU directives and references to harmonised and international standards.

Reflecting the importance of the roles of directors and managers in health and safety, new chapters cover the management of risk, emphasising the need for a sound organisational structure to achieve effective risk management. Developments in the behavioural approach to risk management and current thinking on the development of an international standard on safety management are also covered.

Quality of the environment is rapidly becoming part of the safety manager’s responsibilities both in the workplace and in the context of global pollution. A completely new part consisting of five chapters has been added dealing solely with environmental issues (including ISO 14001).

The increasingly important role of ergonomics in health and safety is reflected in a new chapter on Applied Ergonomics, dealing with the subject pragmatically, that will allow the manager and practitioner to design process and operations that are within the limits of the human body. The effects of stress, an emerging concern in health and safety, are covered in various chapters.
