Health and safety is something we tend to take for granted - until an accident happens that affects us personally. And then it's too late. This practical programme demonstrates the core health and safety issues that affect us all, such as lifting things, and shows why being careful has to become second nature even when we're really busy. The key message is that we have to take responsibility for our own safety, and the safety of others, at all times. Using Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant and hotel business as a case study, the programme demonstrates how health and safety procedures and principles involve people from different parts of the business - chefs, waiters, admin staff, cleaners, and drivers. It covers three main areas of health and safety at work: manual handling; fire; slips, trips, cuts and burns.

Under the banner 'in a room anything can happen', 'Hotel' shows eighteen characters simultaneously experiencing one night in the same hotel. They include two sets of tourists, a couple having an affair, a gay couple, a businessman and a single woman. During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as alternatives to home. Luxury, sex, power, anonymity, privacy?hotels are where our desires go on holiday, but also places where our desires are shaped by the hard realities of the marketplace. Part memoir and part meditation, this book visits a series of rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies-the spaces and things that make up these modern sites of gathering and alienation, hotels.
