Companies face four key exposures to risk in their day-to-day business activities: injury to human beings and animal life; damage to property; interruption to earnings; and liability suits for damage or injury. Environmental risk can affect all four key aspects. This title - within the "And your Business" series - provides an overview of environmental risk management and control for the small-to-medium-sized company. It looks at current regulation, legislation and thinking, provides guidance as to best practice and a mini-directory directing the reader where to go for further information. A number of risk and quality issues attached to carrying out an environmental policy are examined, and issues such as what risk is, whether it can be avoided and what are the main hazards facing business owners, are explored.
