Compliance with Health & Safety Policy Management

You need it. We write it.

 

Most managers don’t wake up in the morning excited about writing their health and safety policy.

All too often, it is begrudgingly written because it is a legal responsibility. Even then, it might have been cobbled together from something you downloaded online or an old one from years ago. Perhaps you have had it on your to-do list for ages but haven’t got around to updating it for far too long?

Does any of this sound familiar? If so, get in touch. Health and Safety is what we do. Creating and writing health and safety policies and manuals is our bread and butter.

We can get it done for you, thus fulfilling your legal obligation, ensuring your employees are protected and finally getting it off your to-do list.

A Health and Safety Policy details the company’s commitment to health and safety, who is responsible for health and safety and how it will be managed, and the responsibilities of company employees in terms of health and safety

.

An important factor of a Health & Safety policy is that everyone in your business feels safe and protected.

It may detail a management system that will include risk assessments, accident reporting, fire safety, manual handling, hazardous substances etc.  It may also include safety manuals, safe systems of work or method statements.  It should be freely available to all employees.

 

Why do I need a Health and Safety Policy?

 

The Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 place a duty on employers to:

  • Prepare a written Health & Safety Policy Statement (when employing five or more persons)
  • Set out the Organisation and Arrangements for implementing the Health & Safety policy
  • Revise and update their Health & Safety policy on a regular basis
  • Bring the Health & Safety policy and arrangements to the notice of all employees
