Abstract
The production function is a ‘transformation process which takes a variety of inputs such as materials and labour and turns them into goods and services’ (Needle, Business in Context). The production function of a business exists in a much wider context than the pure manufacturing of goods; it exists, for example, in department stores, restaurants, banks, local government, schools, hospitals, etc.

Further reading
Selwyn’s, Law of Health and Safety at Work (Butterworths), a very easy to read style and very comprehensive book. C. Drake and F. Wright, Law of Health and Safety at Work: The New Approach (Sweet and Maxwell), more detailed than previous book but again very understandable. Winfield and Jolowicz, Tort (Sweet and Maxwell), the leading textbook on tort and should be used as a reference book for all areas of tort law in this book, including negligence, nuisance and occupiers’ liability. C.J. Miller, Product Liability and Safety Encylcopaedia (Butterworths): this is a regularly updated loose-leaf work and is by far the best in the field.
