Health and Safety Reviews

I can honestly say that if you're in health and social care, and are passionate about the job you do and how well you do it, you will get a lot from this book. And that holds true whether you're new to social care, or if you just want to brush up your prior knowledge. -- Learning Disability
This is an excellently interesting and informative workbook which should carry social care workers easily and encouragingly through to practical understanding and application of basic and essential H&S skills. -- The RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal
