You may slip up without Hazards at Work !

The second edition of the TUC's best-selling guide to health and safety at work is now ready! Due to the massive success of the 2005 edition, when Hazards at Work was re-published in its popular new book format, we have now completely revised and updated the text for 2007.

Highlights include fully rewritten chapters on smoking and asbestos, and updates on relevant statutes, including the new Corporate Manslaughter Act.

The book is an A4 size, 352-page single volume softback. The text deals with all major hazards at work, devoting a full chapter to each. Chapters cover: basic facts, who is at risk, legal and other standards for prevention and control, HSE and other guidance, what safety reps can do and further information.

Extensive checklists, case studies and web resources provide further reference material. The emphasis is on organising for health and safety, to get workplace reps, union members and employers more involved in good practice.

Safety reps will find Hazards at Work invaluable. But every safety professional and practitioner will appreciate the wealth of practical advice and knowledge in this book.

The changing nature of work presents us with new dangers and new challenges. Good health and safety practice is about organisation as much as regulation, and this book will be a huge weapon in safety reps' fight for higher standards.
