safety protocol

Risk prevention rules

A safety protocol is a set of procedures designed to prevent harm or minimize risk in hazardous situations.

Workplaces, laboratories, and medical facilities maintain safety protocols for emergencies, equipment operation, and handling dangerous materials: Follow the safety protocol before entering the clean room.

The term implies official, documented rules rather than informal precautions.
