Hazards at Work

The 2016 edition of the TUC's best-selling guide to health and safety at work, for union reps, personnel staff, safety professionals and enforcement officers. It explains the way unions organise to improve health, safety and welfare, and gives details of all the key legal provisions. It includes a 24-chapter section on the common hazards and causes of ill health at work, and how to assess and prevent them. It also has a section on people in 'special' categories, such as young workers, casual and agency workers, and disabled workers. The book also refers to HSE and other guidance, and makes extensive use of checklists, case studies and web resources.
