Munkman on Employer's Liability

Munkman is the leading authority and the most comprehensive and analytical text in its field. It is the ideal companion to Redgrave's Health and Safety. Now in its 15th edition, Munkman has been brought fully up-to-date and takes into account such recent changes as the emerging areas of personal injury and stress. Other changes include: * New chapter on insurance to reflect the increasing importance of this area including the issue of recoverability under insurance policies * Reinstatement of the chapter on shipping law, updated with the latest cases * New material on injury caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi * Significant rewriting of the Work Equipment chapter to include the recent House of Lords decision in Robb v Salamis on the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and a number of other cases * Overhaul of the asbestos and causation chapters to take account of the continuing pace of asbestos litigation including the groundbreaking decision in Rothwell v CICL * Inclusion of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 * New cases on vicarious liability of employers for the actions of employees * Significant development of the law relating to an employer's duty to protect employees from assaults at work * Full analysis of the first significant decision on liability for noise induced hearing loss for almost 20 years * New decisions on harassment at work, notably Clark v CC of Essex and Deadman v Bristol CC
