This comprehensive health and safety reference book sets out the main

health and safety duties of employers and others, including their common

law duties. It gives practical advice about carrying out risk

assessments and tackling specific health and safety problems, such as

lighting, ventilation, harassment and manual handling.

This 2001 version has been fully updated to take account of the

legislative changes that have occurred since the 2000 edition was

published, including the 1999 Management of Health and Safety at Work

Regulations, which replaced the 1992 regulations, the Asbestos

(Prohibition) Regulations 1999, and the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999. It also contains a new chapter on training and competence in

occupational health and safety.
