The Easy Guide to Health and Safety
By Phil Hughes and Liz Hughes
The jargon-free "Easy Guide to Health and Safety" introduces the health and safety issues which the self-employed and managers, directors and staff with health and safety responsibilities in small businesses face every day. Words and legislation are kept to a minimum and the text is supported by numerous relevant illustrations. The book is packed with practical guidance and solutions, as well as handy checklists and forms for your basic health and safety needs, especially useful when setting up a new business. The book is also suitable for students on IOSH Working Safely and NVQ level 1 and 2 courses from City & Guilds and other NVQ awarding bodies.
Author Phil Hughes is a well known UK safety professional with over thirty years world wide experience. He was Chairman of NEBOSH from 1995-2001 and President of IOSH in 1990, received the RoSPA Distinguished service award in 2001 and an MBE in 2005 for services to Health and Safety. Co-author Liz Hughes taught psychology in further and higher education and has tutored students completing NVQ awards. This background means that she is skilled in preparing readable, easily accessible information.
This book signposts the essentials on managing risk and the positive benefits that effective health and safety management can bring to the small business. This comprehensive text presents the key issues for small businesses in a clear and systematic manner, embedding HSE guidance and recognised best practice, and is an ideal resource to meet your needs.

Bitesize Health and Safety E-learning Kit
Helping businesses to demonstrate their health and safety management capability.
RoSPA has worked with key organisations to establish a set of core criteria which will be widely recognised as a benchmark of achievement in health and safety. This is particularly addressed at simplifying the huge variety of health and safety pre-qualification schemes which can baffle small business, and is in support of the desire by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills to rationalise all aspects of pre-qualification in procurement generally.
While many smaller businesses recognise the importance of having robust arrangements in place to manage health and safety, they often lack the expertise and professional resources needed to develop their systems fully and to demonstrate their capability to potential clients.
RoSPA has developed the following suite of services to help companies that are seeking a one-stage health and safety pre-qualification which highlights the core issues:
- Core criteria workshops for SMEs
- Our online ‘core criteria’ e-learning packages
- Board level briefings
- Senior manager training
- A health and safety review service
- Mentoring for clients and contractors
- Master class events
- Training needs analyses
- A new guide aimed at small firms
- Our guidance and advice for the Management of Occupational Road Risk
