Overview

WHS: A Management Guide is a digital-only resource that looks beyond the current understanding of work health and safety to understand how workplaces can be shaped to fit human needs. It caters to future WHS managers while also providing a practical introduction to WHS for all students.

Taking a humanist approach to WHS, the content goes beyond the risk-management model of physical safety to take into account the larger perspective of human health needs, including psychological and social. This cross-sector resource blends the requirements of academic, vocational and industry training, mapping to BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety.

Available only on the MindTap platform, WHS: A Management Guide, 6e is full of innovative resources to support critical thinking, and help your students move from memorisation to mastery! Includes:

- WHS: A Management Guide eBook

- In-depth case studies with questions that help students to apply chapter concepts to the workplace

- Concept clip videos recap core processes and concepts from the chapter, supporting student understanding of WHS terminology and concepts

- ‘In your workplace’ scenarios with questions prompt students to consider the challenges of various WHS situations

- Revision quizzes, ‘Check your understanding’ questions, 'What do you think?' polling activities, and more
