Description
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:

Certificate and Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health
* 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
* Chartered Management Institute's Level 5 Diploma in Management
New in this edition:
* Completely revised coverage
of fire safety in line with Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order
* Construction safety incorporates new Construction (Design and Management)
Regulations 2007 and new Working at Heights Regulations
* Coverage of changes in employment law, including age discrimination and working
time
* More on the effects of the Woolf Report
