Publisher's Synopsis
This edition includes all the EC directives incorporated in the Health and Safety Executive Regulations introduced in January 1993. It looks at the application of the law in England to both the prevention of workplace accidents and compensation for accident victims. It also looks at the legal system within which occupational health and safety laws are enforced and at the historical context from which current law has developed. It examines similiar systems of regulatory control to which occupational health and safety law relates (ie environmental protection, road traffic, employment protection law).
