general rules and regulations
I think something quite general is meant - covering health & safety but maybe more too.

Safety procedures
règle de vie? in anyone knows how to complicate things it is the French.
Note from asker:
| I know! And as we would say in the UK, "bless 'em" : French pride in their language combined with their delicious tendency to complicate, guarantees many more years of Fr-Eng translation for years to come, even in a massively globalised world where English has ... won! |

basic/ground/general rules
I agree with Juliette that this is not restricted to health and safety, but think "regulations" is too official a term.

Charlie Bavington
: ground rules sprang to my mind too, and altho' the term is described in the text (which means, to an extent, you can call it what you like) I'd be inclined to check other sources to ensure it fits.
