Tolley's Workplace Accident Handbook

When an accident happens at work, an organisation has to act quickly and correctly. Tolley's Workplace Accident Handbook sets out, in one volume, what needs to be done: emergency procedures, legal reporting duties, formal investigations and, where needed, legal proceedings.

This second edition adds chapters on first aid and on accident investigation reports, and it updates the rehabilitation chapter to reflect recent insurance industry initiatives. The book also shows readers how to learn from the accident data they gather and build those lessons into their health and safety management. Checklists and forms support the text.

Health and safety practitioners in many sectors will find practical and legal advice here. The handbook also serves lawyers who handle accident claims, insurance risk managers, emergency planners, first aiders and enforcement officers, and students on health and safety and accident investigation courses.

Edition note: second edition from Butterworth-Heinemann, published in 2007, ISBN-13 9780750681513.
