Occupational Health and Safety for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises

Edited by E. Kevin Kelloway, Canada Research Chair in Occupational Health Psychology, Saint Mary’s University, Canada and Professor Sir Cary Cooper, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK

Small and medium sized enterprises constitute the vast majority of businesses in most developed economies. Although a large number of people are employed in such organizations, research and practice in occupational health and safety has largely ignored the unique challenges of this sector. In this highly relevant book, international experts in the field summarize existing knowledge and identify the best practices for enhancing occupational health and safety in small and medium sized enterprises. The authors specifically identify solutions that are appropriate for small businesses.

‘The editors say that their book demonstrates a clear need for low cost, low tech, non-resource demanding OS&H interventions that could readily be deployed in a small business setting. It certainly does this and the clarity with which the book is written and set out should encourage a wide range of readers to consider the issues raised.’
