Designed for safety professionals, policymakers, and business leaders, the book highlights practical strategies for mitigating workplace hazards and enhancing employee welfare. It delves into case studies of successful implementations, offering real-world examples of how companies have harmonized global guidelines with domestic legal requirements.
