New legislation introduced as a consequence of the Single Market reinforces the accountability of managers for the health and safety of their staff. Contravening the regulations can have serious personal consequences. This text provides managers with the information they need to know, with the focus upon the key statutory health and safety requirements that affect every business, and every manager, in the European Union. It highlights ways in which organizations can manage these responsibilities with confidence and the knowledge that they are doing all that is "reasonably practicable" to comply. Management action checklists at the end of each chapter summarize the principal requirements for each area. This guide should be useful for any manager responsible for staff.
