Every chapter has been expanded to include knowledge and skills to promote and maintain safety and health in a work environment, and these chapters analyse the duties of employers and employees. Risk factors in relation to safety in specific workplaces and issues concerning contamination prevention and control are investigated, and hazards and risks when workers are using equipment or handling hazardous materials and waste are examined.
