Health and Safety at Work: Key Terms provides instant information to readers on a range of key terms used in health and safety at work.

The key terms referenced and explained include: accident statistics; absolute duties; distance guard; noise-induced hearing loss; oxidising classifications; relevant statutory provisions.
