Fifth Edition
By
Mike Bateman, BSc, MIOSH, RSP, Independent health and safety consultant specialising in risk assessment, U.K.
Description
Risk assessment has become the backbone of health and safety management in the UK and elsewhere. Employers have a legal duty to prove
that risk assessments have been carried out and to ensure that appropriate precautions have been implemented.
Mike Bateman
demystifies the risk assessment process and how it relates to UK legislation. He covers both the general techniques and the assessment
of specific risks, such as hazardous substances (COSHH), noise, manual handling, Display Screen Equipment (DSE) workstations, Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE), fire, asbestos and work at height. The book is practical in its approach to risk assessment rather than being
overly legalistic or academic and tells the reader how to go about risk assessment, not just what the legislation requires. It contains
numerous checklists, forms and worked examples for a variety of hazards and industries.
This edition has been fully updated to
take into account the impact of the following requirements on risk assessments:
- Work at Height Regulations 2005 – full new
chapter
- Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) 2006
Mike
Bateman runs his own health and safety consultancy and specialises in risk assessments. He is a corporate member of IOSH and
a registered health and safety practitioner.
Audience
Health and safety practitioners, managers and directors of businesses, as well as safety representatives in all industries. Students on NEBOSH Diploma or degree-level health and safety courses.
