- A company health and safety policy

- Sufficient lighting and emergency lighting where needed
- Protection of workers from vehicle traffic hazards
- High-visibility apparel for workers exposed to traffic
- Work that may endanger a worker done by a competent worker

Practical guidance
How to pass the general safety review the first time
- Keep entry and exit routes clear. The document states the work site, and in particular entry and exit routes, are kept free from waste, materials, and equipment. A reviewer expects that housekeeping.
- Use competent workers. The document states work that may endanger a worker is done by a worker who is competent, or under the direct supervision of a competent worker. A reviewer expects that requirement.
- Provide high-visibility apparel. The document states workers on foot exposed to moving vehicles wear highly visible apparel that is clearly distinguishable. A reviewer expects that apparel.
