Abstract
This is one of a series of updates I will be issuing to provide notes of recent developments in Workplace Health and Safety Law which either have occurred after the book was published, or which I hadn't noticed previously. Update No 1 deals with changes to the common law in relation to actions for nervous shock by relatives of workers who are killed or injured by their employer's negligence.
