Due Diligence: Worker Rights and Duties, 2nd Edition

It has long been held that employers are liable for the negligent, reckless and disobedient employee. This book however, is concerned with the liability of the workers themselves for that conduct.

Workers have a key role in work health and safety. They and their colleagues bear the consequences when things go wrong, and even the most sophisticated system relies heavily on worker engagement to deliver safety outcomes.

The second edition of Due Diligence: Worker Rights and Duties is concerned with the role, rights and duties of workers. It develops some of these ideas with the benefit of five years' experience in implementing them in various businesses.

KEY FEATURES

Like its predecessor, the second edition maintains a plain English, practical approach, with an emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical. It includes simple illustrative diagrammatic illustrations of the complex concepts of the legislation and the inclusion of cases, as illustrations of the practical implementation of the principles.
