"This book discusses various forms of uncertainty that can arise in the manufacturing and service industries. Keeping in mind that uncertainty can be found in a variety of areas (measurements, processes, analysis, data, information, persons, etc.), and if not managed properly, it can have a significant impact on the quality and safety of products and services. It is evident that any decision-making process for providing a good and safe product/service will strongly rely on knowledge concerning these uncertainties and their qualifications. This book clarifies all of these uncertainties, explains how to measure and analyze them, and offers advice for the industrial decision-making process. As such, the book is dedicated to all quality and safety professionals in the industry"--

"Health and safety legislation places significant responsibilities on employers and managers to protect the health and safety of their workers, but the subject area is seen as both complex and technical in nature, often requiring the input of professionals. This book dispels these myths by taking a unique approach allowing somebody with little or no knowledge of the subject to understand their legal duties and then take a practical step-by-step approach to control workplace risks and prevent accidents. Occupational Health & Safety Solutions: Practical Compliance is a reworking and updating of Jordan Publishing's Health and Safety Management, published by LexisNexis from 1997 to 2023. The book takes a comprehensive approach by covering the main subject areas of occupational health and safety and is relevant to all types of workplaces. It provides enough background knowledge for the reader to understand what the law requires, and which needs to be done to achieve compliance, with the main emphasis being on practical application. Providing the reader with the ability to manage health and safety through a process of flowcharts, diagrams, and extensive checklists, the book draws on the expertise of the authors and current best practice within industry. Each chapter sets out a clear, practical approach to identifying and managing risks, thereby enabling a robust and successful health and safety management system to be established in any workplace. The book is written for non-safety professionals such as managers and directors who want to discharge and manage their health and safety responsibilities in their workplace without the need to engage a consultant. It will also appeal to the safety professional by providing an authoritative guide to current best practice together with the practicalities of managing health and safety risks"--
