Synopsis

The COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations are the most significant health and safety legislation since the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Chemists are one of the largest professional groups to be affected by these regulations and this new book provides a definitive guide to their implications and implementation. The Regulations apply to employers in every walk of life, as well as to the self-employed, and The COSHH Regulations: A Practical Guide warns of the penalties that will follow any harm to employees or the general public. It offers realistic help and advice on the steps to be taken to comply with the regulations or prepare a defence if necessary. Based on the editors' and contributors' wide experience the book is immensely practical and provides examples of the Regulations in many different fields of business and commercial life. It is one of the few independent publications available on the COSHH Regulations and is an essential addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in, or responsibility for, safety.

About this title

Synopsis:

This book presents a review derived from the authors' experiences as scientific consultants active in the field of health and safety for many years, together with contributions by other experienced authors on topics such as the development in recent times of legislation in this field in Britain, and in particular of the requirements and knowledge gained so far of the application of Regulations for "Control of Substances Hazardous to Health" (known, it seems, almost universally as "COSHH").
