About the Book
For over 20 years, GE 700 has been the industry standard for Health & Safety. It is revised annually to take into account the latest legislative changes and new or updated guidance and procedures. Each module is loose leafed and provides practical, accurate and authoritative advice on all the important areas of Health & Safety in the building and construction industry, within the existing legal framework and requirements. Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse! Updated areas in the 2005 edition include guidance on compliance with the Work at Height regulations 2005; implications for the Construction (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1996; requirements for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (Amendment) Regulations 2004; new HSE guidance for the investigation of accidents and incidents; risk assessments and method statements; practical guidance on the management of asbestos in accordance with Regulation 4 of The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002; requirements of the forthcoming Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and references to the forthcoming Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2004.
