Legal Aspects of Health and Safety

Presented in a clear and concise format that makes  for easy reference and understanding, this revised and updated edition covers  issues that are becoming increasingly important to health professionals,  managers and educators, including proposed changes to the law since Lord Young’s 2010 report Common Sense, Common Safety. Topics include cross infection and the spread of MRSA, greater regulation of health and safety  standards, stress and bullying and the laws relating to notifiable diseases  such as HIV/AIDS. Illustrated with case studies throughout, this  book is designed to provide a clear introduction to the laws relating to  health and safety, case law and statute law, so that the health professional  has a sound understanding of the law.
