These mandatory minimum standards are intended as the minimum basis upon which sites will establish a sustainable safe and healthy environment at work, to maximize performance. This will mean anticipating changes in requirements (being pro-active rather than reactive) each operating unit and employee taking major responsibility for these areas.
The term employee should be interpreted to include all employees, both permanent and temporary, at all levels.
