Reviews

'Reasonable use and foreseeable abuse are the watch words for safety and this book tries to put that into context, rather that trying to make the burden of compliance go away through quick fix remedies... As well as focusing on LVD, this book also manages to give an overview of all new approach directives which in itself achieves something most other publications have been unable to do.'
