Recenzii
The Honourable Frank Marks is one of the best-qualified persons I know to write a text on occupational health and safety law...Because the new laws have such a broad reach -- affecting anyone who conducts a business or undertaking, officers of corporations, workers and customers and members of the public who may be present in a workplace -- this book has wide appeal...The beauty of the book is that it is written in plain language by someone with years of practical experience and with an eye to what is important for those directly impacted by the legislation. - From the Foreword by Justice Roger Boland, President, Industrial Court of New South Wales A refreshingly practical and common sense overview of the new safety regime. The book dissects the many obligations and complex requirements of work health and safety law into easily understood pieces. The authors deliberately adopt the standpoint of participants in an enterprise who are charged with applying the new laws in practice. Therefore the target readership for the book are not other lawyers, but people who are more likely to be their clients. For this reason it is an excellent resource for all 'hands on' practitioners, but particularly human resource and safety managers in small and medium sized businesses. - Alex Bukarica, Director - Legal & Industrial, CFMEU Mining and Energy Division
