Health and safety explained

Wiley chose RRC not only for its expertise in health and safety, but because it wanted to work with a company that could make the subject understandable to non-experts. Importantly, the style needs to be right too, so RRC has written it in an engaging humorous way - for which the 'for Dummies' series is known.  

The book is in five parts. Part I deals with core areas that any business needs to get sorted – cutting through the hype of what health and safety really is, how to get expert help if you need it, and the basics of risk profiling and risk assessment. Part II explores putting simple safety management systems in place. Part III gets to grips with practical ways of sorting everyday safety risks across a range of topics, from manual handling to machinery, from violence to vibration. Part IV looks at a few topics in more detail – such as the way the law works. Part V includes, for example, the top 10 ways to get risk assessment wrong.
