"Also included are case studies, a glossary of health and safety terms, and sources of further information, including relevant legislation. This book is essential reading for employees at all levels, and also for managers, team leaders, supervisors, personnel and human resources staff, complaints officers, union officers and anyone else in the information organization who may be called upon to deal with people."--BOOK JACKET.
