• Identify the person responsible for carrying out the precautions.
• Provide a means of carrying out their health and safety policy and establish a procedure for reporting accidents.
• Identify relevant legal standards that apply in each part of the workplace.
• Have a written statement of general policy (if they have five or more employees) with respect to health and safety at work.
