4.5hours and can work no more than 40h/week. By having set
hours of work it makes the workplace more productive as
everyone is allowed breaks and days off/ holidays so they don’t

any water area at all times. Safety procedures are important for
an effective workplace to make sure all employees and
guests/customers are safe at all times and the workplace is not
getting close down because of poor health and safety standards
