What I would like to know is there much difference in this book to the one above Introduction to Health and Safety at Work: The Handbook for the NEBOSH National General Certificate http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 89-9263656" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Pete
First off, let me say I have split this from the topic which you had added it to. That topic was from some 7 years ago, so a fresh start is much more relevant.

As to your question, you appear to be referencing Amazon pages offering different editions of the same book. Your first link is 5th Ed, from 2011, the other link I have no idea, but it would appear to be the 1st Ed, although the facility to see inside goes to a link to the 2nd addition, which has yet another cover.

Quite honestly, if you already have a copy of the book, I don't understand why you are asking the question?

The latest edition is always good, since it encompasses the latest changes to the law and regulations.

Hi Pete

from what I understand, you are struggling with the book you have and are hoping for a book that will explain it better?

if you are doing your certificate through a provider then I would stick to the books they give you, I found that Ed Ferrets books just confused me. However the one thing I found really useful during my certificate was the revision cards

this is a really useful tool - comes recommended

Berni is right, the latest edition is always going to be the best option but I would discuss it with your provider...

good luck

Hi safetygal

Thank you for your reply. I am not doing the NEBOSH cert yet as I am currently studying the Diploma in OHS through my union but just looking at extra revision aids, if that makes sense.

Thank you for the link very useful.
