"This book gives quick referance to both employers and employees to what needs to be covered in the most common health and safety situations." (Amazon.co.uk customer review of 2nd edn) "This is a great book for Health and Safety students. Clear, concise and easy to follow, yet still covering h&S concepts and legislation in sufficient depth [...] Ideal for those sitting NEBOSH certificate and for background information for the Diploma. I found it a great asset during my studies and would strongly recommend it." (Amazon.co.uk customer review of 2nd edn)
