Index.A comprehensive guide to occupational health law, this book has been updated to include relevant changes since 1998, including: the Human Rights Act; the Data Protection Act 1998; new case law on compensation; and the Woolf reforms on civil procedures.A new edition has become needed because of the large number of changes in the law since the last edition was published in 1998. These include the Human Rights Act; the Data Protection Act 1998 which was brought into force in 2000; new case law on compensation (particularly with regard to stress); the Woolf reforms on civil procedures, especially regarding expert witnesses; and developments in equal opportunities law (e.g. maternity leave). The section on disability discrimination has been completely rewritten. Other new features include genetic testing in employment and the new offence of corporate manslaughter, and details regarding the new training and evaluation criteria that occupational health professionals are required to satisfy. Kloss on Occupational Health Law has become the standard reference work on the subject since it was first published in 1989. In five years since the third edition was written there have been enormous changes in the field of occupational health. The most significant development has been the Disability Discrimination Act, giving occupational health professionals a new role, but also creating some difficult ethical problems. the Act has recently been extended to include employees of small businesses and the emergency services. The incorporation into UK law of the A European Convention on Human Rights has raised many novel issues for the courts, and the EU has also been involved in health and safety law and laws against discrimination at work. There has been an inexorable rise in actions for personal injury, important changes in civil procedure following the Woolf reforms, and significant developments in the law on data protection and freedom of information. All these are covered in this detailed but highly readable reference- an essential source for health professionals working in occupational health and for human resources staffIndustrial hygieneLaw and legislationGreat BritainIndustrial safetyLaw and legislationGreat BritainIndustrial hygieneLaw and legislationIndustrial safetyLaw and legislation344.410465Kloss Diana M882910MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996218283903316Occupational health law1972363UNISA
