Workplace Environment, Health and Safety Management: a practical guide
Jonathan M Horner
Environment, health and safety issues are of increasing importance for workplace managers. Up to now, no single text has dealt with all of these issues together. Existing textbooks tend to deal with either environmental or health and safety management - making it very difficult for managers to find the information they need. Jonathan Horner's practically written book offers readers a user-friendly viewpoint on what can be a complicated subject.
The increasing importance of workplace environment, health and safety management is examined in detail, providing a sound overview of the main issues managers need to consider. Financial gains, legal compliance and enhanced employee morale are all benefits that organisations can expect when a workplace environment, health and safety management model is implemented. The impact of potential hazard areas such as the effect of pollutants and transport on employees is both informed and readable.
Horner's book handles the subject matter in an understandable and clear manner, making it a highly recommend text for anyone involved in this area for the first time.
Readership:
This book is primarily aimed at non-specialists, but is also a useful reference tool for environmental health departments as well as health and safety and environmental tutors and students.
