Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Current health and safety regulations require that managers at all levels have a responsibility for proper implementation of the law. This book is designed for the busy manager who needs to keep up-to-date and in control of safety, explaining the law in practical, easy to understand language. Step-by-step guides to procedures are provided and the 1992 EEC directives and supporting UK regulations are covered.
