内容説明

The aim of this book is to give the legal profession a comprehensive text-book on liability for accidents at work. This edition includes a large amount of new material. The most important item is the manufacturer's strict liability for products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the text includes a full explanation of this. There are several new codes of safety regulations, many of which apply to all places of work. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 replace numerous existing safety codes for various substances, in particular all those relating to dust and fumes of any kind and to such things as spraying in agriculture. There are in addition: the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987; the Ionizing Radiation regulations 1985; the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; the Docks Regulation 1988; the Loading and Unloading of Fishing Vessels Regulations 1988; the Mines (Safety of Exit) Regulations 1988 which supersede sections of the Mines and Quarries Act; the Quarries (Explosives) Regulations 1988; and Merchant Shipping (several sets of regulations, including means of access, machinery, lifting apparatus and electricity). It also includes explanation of the Animals (Scotland) Act 1987 which is an improvement on the English legislation.
