  A resource for all managers responsible for the health, safety and welfare of their staff. Many developments have taken place in the field of health and safety management and increasingly managers are being expected to be more knowledgeable in this area. The room for manoeuvre on the part of employers, with regard to the health and safety of their employees, has been dramatically reduced. Furthermore, the courts are being increasingly less sympathetic towards organizations who do not meet the basic requirements of the law. This text should help managers to unravel the complicated legal obligations, and explains how to establish systems and procedures for effective health and safety management.

  A Manager's Guide to Health and Safety at Work continues to serve as a standard reference text for all levels of management, particularly in the case of those small to medium sized enterprises that may not be in a position to employ a health and safety specialist. Students of the subject, including those taking CIEH, IOSH and CIPD courses should also find the book useful as a primary text on the subject. This seventh edition has been updated in the light of the Health and Safety Commission Guidance Directors' responsibilities for health and safety which extends and intensifies the current corporate duties and liabilities of directors under health and safety law. A number of modifications and changes have been made to the previous edition, including sections on competent persons, work-related upper limb disorders, revised first aid procedures, manual handling injuries and mobile work equipment.
