Update your reading

20 October 2010

We’ve revised two of our most popular books – Health and safety: risk management and Questioning performance: the director’s essential guide to health, safety and the environment.

Get the latest on risk thinking

The updated edition of Health and safety: risk management tells you everything you need to know about assessing and managing risk.

This book was written by health and safety research and development specialist Dr Tony Boyle. Tony said:

“In this edition you’ll find coverage of the new and revised management system guidance, ISO 9004 (Quality) and BS 18004 (Health and Safety). I’ve revised a number of sections to take into account the latest thinking on the topics covered.”

This book is essential reading for health and safety professionals who do risk assessments and manage risk as part of their role, and for students who are studying for their NEBOSH Diploma, a degree or a vocational qualification in health and safety.

Safety success for senior managers

The revised edition of Questioning performance: the director’s essential guide to health, safety and the environment will guide you through this complex and important field.

The authors speak from experience. David Eves is a former deputy director-general of the HSE and John Gummer, now Lord Deben, served as Secretary of State for the Environment and Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

David said:

“This, the fourth revision of Questioning Performance since it was first published in 2005, aims to help directors, senior managers and their advisors keen to protect their workforce and their company's reputation by keeping them up to date with latest thinking and information about good practice in managing health, safety and the environment.”

This book is essential reading for directors and senior managers. It will help you develop and manage an effective health, safety and environmental policy. A good policy can help you save money, improve relations with employees, customers and neighbours and help keep the company and its managers out of court.
