Publisher's Synopsis
Accidents are just waiting to happen in the workplace and can be costly to an organisation. Health and Safety legislation is now stricter than ever, with the financial and legal implications for those found contravening these regulations extremely hard-hitting.
The Health and Safety Executive estimates that workplace accidents cost British business up to ú9 billion per year. With this in mind, it makes sense to ensure that effective policies and procedures are put in place to minimise the risk to both your employees and your organisation.
Tolleys Workplace Accident Handbook is a practical guide that ensures those with responsibility for health and safety are aware of their legal obligations regarding accidents at work. It provides a clear explanation of how accidents happen and their impact on the organisation, as well as risk management and accident prevention techniques.
Accidents will happen but only by reviewing the causes and assessing the risks can they be effectively prevented. This new handbook shows how.
