Hi,
I would have thought the things you mentioned such as: risk assessments, regularly practicing fire procedures/checking alarms, updating first aid training.. All these are including within the monitoring and maintaining health and safety.
Yes there are policies to refer back to in regards to the awareness and encouragement of working safely but in most settings, they provide training within the induction or throughout the job. For example, in my school setting we had ladder training to promote our awareness when we put up displays - as the school has tall walls where the displays are.

The second is the policies and legislations, so how do you put them into your work role? So you can talk about risk assessments but also why you do them, what does it refer back to in regards to the legislations? Perhaps if you work with babies and toddlers you have a nappy changing policy, why then do you follow the procedures to wear gloves and an apron etc.

Hope this helps
