This study book has at its heart the fact that health and safety should be managed as a risk. However, as one of the risks to a business is the risk of prosecution, care has been taken to relate topics to current legislation.
Legislation is referred to in context in the various elements that comprise this study book, it reflects the syllabus of the NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction and is targeted to meet the needs of learners studying to this level. In addition, this study book has a section 'Relevant Statutory Provisions’ which is dedicated to legislation, and here the learner will find a useful summary of the legislation relevant for this qualification.
This 5th Edition Essential Health and Safety Guide has been thoroughly revised and updated to embrace the December 2019 specification of the syllabus for the NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction qualification and focuses on construction hazards and related losses, risk control measures and core management of health and safety principles as they relate to construction activities.
It has been designed to reflect the order and content of the NC syllabus which is structured in a very useful way, focusing on core management of health and safety principles (Elements 1 to 3) then hazards and their control (Elements 4 to 13); and in this way, the learner studying for this qualification can be confident that this guide reflects the themes of the syllabus and forms an excellent study book for that purpose.
