- introduces specific requirements to protect all workers in these premises that include:
- The use of video camera equipment; and
- Visibility and signage requirements.
- And, for those workers who work alone:
- Procedural implementation of a check-in system; and,
- Personal emergency transmitter devices for individual workers.
