A code of practice (CoP) provides minimum mandatory OSH technical requirements on a specific subject (e.g. Personal Protective Equipment). Each entity must ensure they are aware of the subject matter covered by the codes of practices and where this is part of their undertakings ensure that the minimum requirements are complied with.
Codes of practice are mandatory to all entities, regardless of risk classification.
