If your company employs more than 5 members of staff, you must produce health and safety policies. The health and safety policy of an organisation must consist of three main sections;
- The statement of intent-sometimes known as your policy statement.
- An organisation and responsibilities section-detailing how you will organise for health and safety and who is responsible for what.
- An arrangements section, this details what measures and how the organisation will achieve its aims.
The requirement to have and review your health and safety policies is a basic requirement of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
We can help by creating a Health & Safety Policy to fit with your organisation or if you already have one, we can help you review it and where necessary update it.
