Notes to answerer
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!

Explanation:
I agree with Juliette that this is not restricted to health and safety, but think "regulations" is too official a term.

agree  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.
