Health & Safety Policies

A Health and Safety Policy is a document that clearly communicates your approach, responsibilities and arrangements regarding the management of Health & Safety in the workplace. It outlines who must take responsibility of certain risks, and when and how these responsibilities are implemented to oversee health and safety issues.

Any business with five or more employees is legally obliged to have a Health and Safety Policy written up and communicated to their staff, in order to reduce risk of accidents and ensure that the workplace is a safe environment for people to work and visit.

Your Health and Safety Policy isn’t like any other policy that you compile for your business – there are rules and good practice guidelines for what needs to be included; therefore, many organisations choose to outsource help when they draft and implement their policies to guarantee that they remain compliant.

Our Health and Safety Consultants have written up hundreds of Health and Safety Policies over the years, so they are familiar with the format they must abide to and the HSE practices and procedures they must include. They can also conduct health and safety audits and health and safety assessments if necessary.
