tailieunhanh - EMPLOYMENT LAW AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Employment law relating to occupational health has evolved a long way from outlawing the sending of little boys up chimneys. The constitution of the occupa- tional health provider has moved on from being a factory doctor assisted by a nurse to being a team of health professionals with a wide range of experience and expertise. Knowledge and understanding of employment law is now an essential component of occupational health provision. | Employment Law and Occupational Health A Practical Handbook Joan Lewis Greta Thornbory Blackwell Publishing EMPLOYMENT LAW AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH A Practical Handbook Joan Lewis MCIPD Dip Law MA Law Employment Relations Greta Thornbory MSc RGN ROH PgCeA MIOSH Blackwell Publishing 2006 Joan Lewis and Greta Thornbory Blackwell Publishing editorial offices Blackwell Publishing Ltd 9600 Garsington Road Oxford OX4 2DQ UK Tel 44 0 1865 776868 Blackwell Publishing Inc. 350 Main Street Malden MA 02148-5020 USA Tel 1 781 388 8250 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd 550 Swanston Street Carlton Victoria 3053 Australia Tel 61 0 3 8359 1011 The right of the Author to be identified as the Author of this Work has been asserted in accordance with the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988.
