You could also call this:

You can make small changes to a provisional improvement notice if you are a health and safety representative. These changes can be for three reasons:

You can make the notice clearer if it needs explaining better.

You can fix mistakes or wrong references in the notice.

You can update the notice if things like addresses or other details have changed.

Remember, you can only make these changes if they are minor and don’t change the main point of the notice.
