About this title

Review

'If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to risk management, this is the one for you. This book has matured very well over its four editions. The writing style is clear and concise, the content comprehensive. It is also well referenced, filled with helpful figures, diagrams and tables and its interesting layout provides four books in one.

Boyle’s book would make an excellent study text for people engaged in any safety and health study programme and offers a reliable reference for everyone else.'
