Notes
This example is for a small electrical trade business operating from a warehouse in Queensland. It includes specific details like the location of soldering irons to turn off. It clarifies that there is no lift on the single storey site but notes it for compliance clarity. The Assembly Area instructions are very specific to the site geography (near the big gum tree). The wardens are the business owner and a senior staff member.
