Discussing regulations and standards
• Standards
Standards make things work by providing specifications (guidelines or
requirements) for products, services and systems. If used consistently,
they ensure quality, safety and efficiency. They may take the form of a
Reference Document that provides details about the criteria involved.
• Regulations
Detailed instructions on how laws are to be enforced or carried out and
are sometimes referred to as “rules” or “administrative laws.” They
carry the force of law – their application is mandatory.
written instructions and notices
• The Regulations cover various means of communicating health and
safety information. These include the use of illuminated signs, hand
and acoustic signals, e.g. fire alarms, spoken communication and the
marking of pipe work containing dangerous substances.
working with written instrucctions and

hygiene, and not only that also to save people's lives, avoid accidents
in work places etc.
