You are required to implement each situation based on the work you have planned and completed in Part A.

Brief all relevant staff before implementation to provide a refresher of the procedures that were finalised and determined during consultation and risk assessment
Monitor each situation and ensure that any breaches are identified promptly.
Use relevant templates or a log to document progress and incidents for each situation.
Take appropriate actions to prevent any potential incidents, accidents or other hazards where a safety risk has been identified.
Document each breach or shortfall you identify for each instance.
Write a report summary for each situation and clearly outline the requirements for changes for each procedure based on the results in 4. and which type of training this will require as a result for each situation.
Attach your completed templates or log as relevant.
Attach your final summary report.
