Customer Reviews
Introduction to Health and Safety at Work
This book was supplied at my recent NEBOSH general certificate course and was invaluable in passing said course.
However its use beyond that has also been invaluable, it gives good clear information on most Health and Safety issues to be found in a manufacturing unit. It is not over complicated by legalise, is written in plan English and has a user-friendly index. If I had a criticism it would be that sometimes a subject is spread through out the book but not sure if you can avoid that.
Great for NEBOSH Certificate Students
This is a great introduction for anyone to health and safety and is an ideal text for anyone studying the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health. www.SafetyServicesDirect.com
