3. You must inform all employees regarding the scope of their authority (as contemplated in Section 37( 1)(b) (Section 8)(j), OHSA)

4. You must instruct your employees on the proper use, maintenance and limitations of the safety equipment and facilities you’ve provided (Section 2.5, General Safety Regulations, OHSA). This means training them accordingly
