work practices. They may be adapted from a variety of sources including
equipment manufacturer’s manuals. A summary is often posted near
equipment.

policies are based on the above safety resources and applied to each individual

work practices and behaviour through demonstration and reinforcement of safe
working procedures, establishment of clear safety rules, safety passports,
assignments, quizzes, and research.
