Description
Introduction to Health and Safety at Work
has been developed for the NEBOSH National General Certificate in
Occupational Safety and Health and is endorsed by NEBOSH. Each element of the syllabus is covered by a dedicated chapter and both taught
units are covered. A chapter on international aspects make the book also suitable for the NEBOSH International Certificate. The successful
previous editions have also found ready acceptance for other NVQ level 3 and 4 courses in Health and Safety.
Full colour pages and hundreds
of illustrations bring the subject to life. To make studying easier, each chapter starts with learning outcome summaries and ends with
questions taken from recent NEBOSH examinations. Specimen answers and a study skills chapter help to prepare for the exam.
As an introduction
to all areas of occupational safety and health the book is also a practical reference for managers and directors with health and safety
responsibilities and safety representatives. It covers the essential elements of health and safety management, the legal framework, risk
assessment and control standards and includes handy forms and checklists.
New in this edition:
- Updated in
line with the 2009 changes to the NEBOSH syllabus
