Safety policies Recognition, evaluation and control of hazards Safe work procedures Manual handling Good Housekeeping practices Use of tools and equipment General safety requirements. What is Safety Awareness? It's a responsibility, a commitment, an obligation.  It's common sense, teamwork and safe work procedures.  It's recognising hazards and showing a willingness to act to control any hazard present.
