Reviews
"I found Nick's chapters on Safety Management Systems and Government Regulations and Safety Oversight, to be very comprehensive, insightful and informative. As a practicing occupational health and safety regulator and a previous transport safety regulator, I will certainly keep Nick's second edition on my book shelf as a ready reference, just as I do with his first edition." --Len Neist, Health & Safety Regulator, Australia
