'I was interested to read Steve Frosdick and Lynne Walley's recent book on Sport and Safety Management. I feel sure it will be a useful reference tool for all those involved in sports grounds safety.'

'A useful reference source for sports ground safety managers'
Safety Management, January 1998

'Facility managers with responsbility for safety management will want to read the case studies and academic analysis in this book. Those providing services to the stadium industry will also find much to inform their work, such as backgrounders on safety organizations and detailed references to safety documentation. It's good to see that a leading publisher can support this important part of our industry.'
