Introduction to health and safety at work
Introduction to Health and Safety at Work has quickly established itself, in its first six years, as the foremost text for students taking the NEBOSH National General Certificate. It is also of great value to those studying for level 3 N/SVQ, the IOSH Managing Safely Award and similar management and supervisor focused learning. It has become a significant work of reference for managers with health and safety responsibilities and it is therefore a matter of primary importance that it should be kept up-to-date, as far as is possible, with new legislation and recent developments. It has now been endorsed by NEBOSH as a recommended text book for the National General Certificate course. This fourth edition has been produced in order to update health and safety legislation, with particular regard to changes in legislation relating to corporate manslaughter and corporate homicide, the Health and Safety (Offences) Act, changes to the Health and Safety (Information for Employees) Regulations and the introduction of environmental permit- ting. More information has been given on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Chemicals Regulations (REACH), the introduction of a new regime for domestic gas safety and future changes to the Control of Pesticides Regulations. Finally, the merger of the Health and Safety Commission and the Health and Safety Executive into a single unified body called the Health and Safety Executive is also covered.
