Worker Rights and Duties.

It has long been held that employers are liable for the negligent, reckless and disobedient employee. This book, however, is concerned with the liability of the workers themselves for that conduct.

Workers have a key role in work health and safety. They and their colleagues bear the consequences when things go wrong, and even the most sophisticated system relies heavily on worker engagement to deliver safety outcomes.

The third edition of Worker Rights and Duties is concerned with the role, rights and duties of workers. It develops some of these ideas with the benefit of ten years’ experience in implementing them in various businesses.

The third edition of the Due Diligence series explores recent case law and addresses contemporary work health and safety issues, including the new industrial manslaughter laws and the management of mental health at work.
