Health and safety law applies to all businesses however small and covers all types of employees whether full or part time, temporary or permanent, office-based, mobile or home workers, employed or self-employed . For very small businesses and the self-employed health and safety is just one small aspect of their job and they do not want to spend much time on it. But they still need to ensure that they prevent people being harmed and comply with the law. Phil and Liz Hughes have written a short guide to the basics of health and safety. The book gives practical, step-by-step advice on what small businesses must do to ensure health and safety and includes handy checklists and forms. Easy Guide to Health and Safety is also suitable for students on IOSH Working Safely and NVQ level 1 and 2 courses from City & Guilds and other NVQ awarding bodies, who require a similar shop-floor approach.
