Internet to identify the information needed for each of the handouts and include information
from the kitchen’s WHS Policy and Procedures, and reference this as required in your
handouts.

develop these in any program available to you such as Word, Publisher or other design
program – but Word is fine for this purpose.

they are consistent in their approach.
