bullet point query

0 I am having a debate regarding bullet points. We are trying to ascertain whether there is a definitive way to set out bullets, for example02br
02br
00In support of this, we:02br
00a) Provide a comprehensive range of services and facilities for our clients;02br
00b) Maintain high standards of customer service;02br
00c) Provide a safe and healthy environment.02br
02br
00At the end of a) and b) we have put semi colons whilst at the end of the last bullet c) we have placed a full stop. We have also used capitals at the start of each bullet is this right?02br
02br
00Any help would be much appreciated.02br
