The primary purpose of this text is to assist students of occupational health
and safety law. It is believed that this book will appeal to both undergraduate
and postgraduate students who have an interest in this area. In addition, it
may prove to be a useful reference text for practitioners of safety
management, though the latter may wish to use it as a preliminary to more
detailed study of the particular topic they are researching.
The text draws heavily on legislation and law reports, but some references
to other materials are made when this has seemed to the authors to be an
appropriate way of developing, explaining or commenting on the legal
materials.
