The focus of Health and Safety: Law and Practice 2nd ed is on the legislative and common law positions relating to health and safety and the consequent implications for employers and employees.
It is comprehensive and fully up-to-date, incorporating the most recent legislation - Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 - which repeals and replaces the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989. It also includes a brand new chapter on bullying, harassment and stress as a health and safety issue in the work place.
It is therefore an indispensable source of reference to the many detailed regulations implemented under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the authoritative guidelines issued by the Health and Safety Authority.
Practical in its content, Health and Safety: Law and Practice provides extensive guidance on minimising liability and the drafting of a safety statement.
