The best and most professional health-and-safety presentations are at John Johnston's excellent website,   Health and Safety for Beginners

The principal functions and activities of HSfB are to provide continuing advice to beginners in the health and safety field, links to various employment agencies which highlight health and safety careers, links to various training companies for health and safety and also to update professionals on current health and safety news and events.  The basic concept of the site, as set up by John Johnston, is to gather tools, study aids and information from willing professionals which are distributed on his pages free of charge, in the hope that they will aid beginners in health and safety with their studies, particularly surrounding the NEBOSH Certificate.
