(1)-(2) Not all staff are required to wear protective clothing. The requirement of protective clothing to be worn on a Horizon Power managed and operated Power Station site is very much dependent on the activity that is completed by the individual and the risks associated with that activity.
(3) Not applicable.
(4) The requirements vary dependent on activity performed.
(5) For not following safety standards personnel are open to counselling and depending on the seriousness of the indiscretion, disciplinary proceedings.
(6) None.
