that's (2) compulsory / prohibited. Or activities that are (3) compulsory / prohibited in certain
areas, such as smoking. The majority of the obligations we'll deal with are legal (4)
requirements / permits. In other words, they're (5) permitted / stipulated by law as part of
health and safety (6) legislation / obligation. If you (7) contravene / comply with these kinds
of regulations, it's not the same as turning up for work late, or merely breaching your contract
of employment in some way. If someone fails to (8) contravene / comply with health and
safety regulations, they're breaking the law. It's as simple as that. I'm sure you're all aware of
