Posted By Jim Walker Amy, I doubt you will get anone to part with their copy of "Principles". Personally, mine is a speculative investment. A new one is not that expensive and it has recently been updated. With the free stuff from HSE site plus this one book, you shouldn't need anything else.

Posted By Chris Pope I am a lecturer on the course and have just recieved a copy of Phil Hughes & ed Ferrett's new book which has just come out and is set out to suit the new syllabus. isbn 0-7506-5730-8. I don't know the cost but the book is exceptional quality - if you can get a look at one you will not find it too difficult to part with the cash ! - it will really help you to pass the exam - good success with your studies

Posted By Allan St.John Holt I sincerely hope you're joking! There is no copyright waiver on 'Principles' unless I give it personally. And we (IOSH and I) follow up any such reports. Once we found a consultancy was photocopying the whole book, even though it would have been cheaper to buy extra copies! In fact, I usually give the OK for the odd Section if there is a reason for copying it - but remember one of the reasons the price has remained unchanged since 1991 is to make it cheap enough for almost everyone, and also to make copying not cost-effective.
