In this easy-to-understand and timely pocket guide, Naeem Sadiq examines the practical and managerial issues an organization faces as it gears up to meet OHSAS 18001 standards of occupational health and safety.

Real-world scenarios: Using a wide variety of fictional real world scenarios, Sadiq demonstrates the hazards that might be present in a workplace, how to assess risk, how to manage OHSAS 18001 implementation and how to communicate its implementation through all levels of management.
