Health and Safety is a very dry, arduous subject. Let us be totally honest right off the bat!  Everyone has an opinion on it, and it’s mostly bad.

The whole perceived premise around health and safety is that it’s often “over the top”, it’s the “nanny state” handling, it’s overbearing and “The Man” giving us extra things to do.

In reality, it’s there to keep us safe and healthy.

I’ll admit it’s often not done with the most gracious of methods and is often delivered in the most mind-numbingly boring manner, which is why I think there is great resistance to it.

It’s also a great excuse that people use and band about for various reasons: “I can’t mate, cos elf n safety said so.”

The fact is, it is there to impose certain things on companies and individuals to ensure that we all go home the way we came into work.

Yes, it can be boring and yes it can be onerous, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a new way to deal with the ever-increasing rules and regulations that are imposed on us all.

This book has been written from the two authors’ perspectives with a view of cutting through all the complicated elements that surround health and safety and its management.

The chapters are packed to the brim with information and knowledge which will help you to understand and implement a good safety culture. This not only keeps you out of prison whilst avoiding massive fines but it also helps to keep people safe.

The book can be used as a reference guide to quickly help you bring your health and safety management in line.

For those that not only want to ensure compliance but also want to educate themselves further, there’s lots of information laced throughout this book.
