"...a concise set by step guide... This book is strongly recommended." The Law Journal UK

This is a practical guide to health and safety issues in the offices of small and large businesses. It provides appropriate background knowledge, practical information and office-based examples on an increasing number of health and safety work place scenarios.

Court of Appeal cases R. v Tangerine Confectionery Ltd and R. v Veolia
House of Lords case R v Chargot Ltd
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
The emergence of work related road risk
Violence at work
Disability Discrimination Act 1995
Guidance from the appellate courts on stress
Prosecutions
