Description
Health and safety is important to everyone nowadays, especially with the burgeoning extent of legislation and regulations in the area
both in UK terms but perhaps more importantly within and across the European Community. One of the industries most affected by this is
the building and construction sector, which because of its traditionally poor record in this respect and its widespread and under-policed
activities is now subject to the Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations. These require that every project involving building
or demolition work which is undertaken, regardless of the industry concerned and for what purpose, must be planned and documented according
to these safety regulations and procedures. Non-compliance can attract heavy penalties, including fines and prison sentences.
In addition,
the possibilities of actions like this, and their contingent financial costs, are beginning to determine a whole philosophy to underpin
business management. It is therefore vital to understand exactly what legal obligations and duties are inherent in either managing, contracting
or carrying out a given piece of work. Lack of knowledge of this nature can prove to be very costly, so this book will show you how to
find your way around the maze of rules and regulations in order to improve your business efficiency and reduce exposure to financial
risk.
Audience
All those concerned with the safety of employees in the workplace. Students studying for Health and Safety exams, safety practitioners, libraries.
