Hi All

I am developing a Health and Safety module, equivalent to that of a final year of a BSc in the UK, for delivery to Environmental Health officers in Kenya and I’m trying to put together a reading list.

Does anybody have any suggestions for H&S books that fit the international context? Especially those which are in paper and E-book format.

I have a few in mind but would appreciate any suggestions if anybody has any.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Stuart

Hi, Stuey,
my suggestion is "An introduction to International Health and Safety Management" - The Handbook for the NEBOSH International Certificate; BY Phil Hughes and Ed Ferret. Published by Butterworth - Heinemann / Elsevier. It contains some specific references to African H&S.

Also "Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems ILO OSH 2001", published by the International Labour Organisation, Geneva.
