"Easy to follow, informative reference book
This is a great book for Health and Safety students. Clear, concise and easy to follow, yet still covering h&S concepts and legislation in sufficient depth to give a real insight into the topics covered. Ideal for those sitting NEBOSH certificate and for background information for the Diploma. I found it a great asset during my studies and would strongly recommend it."
