Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, TOOMA'S ANNOTATED OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT 2000 (NSW) continues to equip practitioners and OHS professionals with the material required to understand and implement compliant OHS strategies and to litigate on OHS issues in the courtroom. This well structured and easy to navigate text provides up-to-date legislation, coupled with in-depth commentary and case law analysis. The new edition features detailed discussion of liability in the following contexts: powered mobile plants; commercial pressure from clients; liability of company directors; armed holdings; and situations of civil disorder. Author and OHS practitioner, Michael Tooma, also expands on the extensive range of case examples provided in the text, which reflect the increased emphasis placed by WorkCover on managerial accountability. With an overview of the statutory review of the OHS Act in New South Wales as well as the 2008 national review into model OHS laws, the third edition is an essential reference for practitioners, OHS professionals and students.
