FOREWORD

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to this guide, published by Jordans in association with The British Safety Council.

We commend the authors’ work as a clear and detailed analysis of the main legislative requirements relating to health and safety in the workplace – a truly practical guide.

It will be of considerable use to anyone who has any responsibility for safety management systems.

David Ballard
Director General
British Safety Council

PREFACE

There are many publications currently available on the vast subject area of occupational health and safety, ranging from the simple introductory paperback through to the more complex loose-leaf publication.

Whilst these publications have their own merits, they lack the degree of ‘usability’ that is essential if health and safety is to be effectively managed in the workplace. Extensive experience has indicated that employers rarely use the publications they subscribe to, merely referring to them when a problem arises.

Our aim in producing this book has, therefore, been not only to provide the user with a clear, yet detailed analysis of the main legislative requirements relating to health and safety in the workplace, but also to share our knowledge of management systems that can be used to control health and safety. The book is designed to be as ‘user friendly’ as possible and draws a balance between ease of use and technical complexity that should appeal to the widest audience, particularly the non-safety specialist who is charged with the responsibility of ‘managing’ health and safety. In the preparation of this text, we have drawn not only on our extensive experience, but also that of countless organisations whose health and safety systems we have seen operating effectively. The style and layout should be sufficient to take even persons with no knowledge of the subject through not only the legal requirements, but perhaps more importantly, through the practical steps as well. The looseleaf format will allow the user to keep abreast of the rapid changes in legislation and ‘new’ issues in a cost-effective manner.

We would like to express our gratitude to Jordans whose help and advice on the production of this book has produced a publication which is bound to be a market leader.
