When creating a new safety standard, at least the safety standard's name is needed. All other information can be entered later.

<p class="callout info">Safety standards do not have a naming convention, the **SAF\_ST\_** prefix is merely a suggestion.   
</p>

When creating a new safety standard, you can define, for which work positions it applies.

<p class="callout info">**Example**: The **Kitchen** safety standard would apply work positions **chef, cook, dish washer.**..</p>

Through the update form, you can manage:

- **Name** and **description** of the Safety standard
