Health & Safety Policy & Statement of Intent
If a company employs five or more members of staff, health and safety policies are a legal requirement.
The health and safety policy of a company should consist of three main sections:
- The statement of general policy on health and safety at work sets out your commitment to managing health and safety effectively, and what you want to achieve.
- The responsibility section sets out who is responsible for specific actions.
- The arrangements section contains the detail of what you are going to do in practice to achieve the aims set out in your statement of health and safety policy.
But a solid and robust Health & Safety policy can do so much more for a company, it is a demonstration to employees, customers and others of your intentions in managing health and safety and can set out your expectations of staff and contractors.
As stated by The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974), a company’s health and safety policies must be frequently reviewed and assessed, and all employees must be fully informed of any changes that have been made at any time.
We can help you devise a new health and safety policy for your company or renew/review an existing one.
Your Health and Safety Policy Statement provides you with a document that is tailored to your business requirements containing practical instruction and advice for all employees.
With our professional experience and expertise, we can identify the procedures your company requires to adhere to each section of the policy.
Awareness training and communication to staff can also be arranged to help ensure statutory compliance and a confidence that your employees are aware of the policy and the part that all parties play in promoting good levels of health and safety across your business.
