I am stuck on How should you follow Health and safety work act 1974 to keep yourself and other safe?

How do you work safely whilst carrying out your duties, explain the code of conduct?

I am hitting my head against a brick wall

Hi, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 means individuals in an organisation need to:

know the setting's health and safety policy and be able to follow it - ask for a copy so you can see what's expected of you

recognise risks and hazards in the work setting and during off-site visits
know how to report risks and hazards
make sure that your actions do not harm yourself or others
use any safety equipment provided
ensure equipment is safe and appropriate

This is a quote from an ERR document
The Health and Safety Act, 1974
It is an employer's duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers must do whatever is reasonably practicable to achieve this.

This means making sure that workers and others are protected from anything that may cause harm, effectively controlling any risks to injury or health that could arise in the workplace.
