These may include engineering controls (e.g., installing safety guards), administrative controls (e.g., implementing work procedures), or personal protective equipment (e.g., providing appropriate safety gear).
7. Regularly review and update: Regularly review and update your health and safety program to ensure its effectiveness and compliance with any changes in laws or regulations. Conduct periodic inspections and audits to identify any deficiencies or areas for improvement. Continuously improve your health and safety practices based on feedback, incident investigations, and lessons learned.
