Our H&S Policies, on average, cost £85, but the benefits of having a quality company health and safety policy are invaluable. Make sure to provide your employees and stakeholders with a clear and concise health and safety policy that accounts for risks in their workplace, and works to minimise the chances of them happening.

According to the The Health and Safety at Work etc Act of 1974, your employer must take the necessary steps to ensure your safety and welfare at work - and HSE documents play a big part in this. If you have more than five full-time employees, you are required to have your health and safety policy written down on paper.

A company health and safety policy sets out how a business approaches health and safety within the workplace, and typically includes:

  • Your commitment as an employer to health and safety
  • Who is responsible for specific tasks to do with health and safety (e.g. routine checks of fire alarms)
  • The actions in place to help you meet your commitment to safety (e.g. safety signage, training, or PPE)

The law states that every business must have a health and safety policy that details how the employer plans to manage the health and safety of employees, contractors, and visitors. If a business has five or more employees, this policy must be written down and made available to employees.

At a minimum, we’d recommend reviewing your company's health and safety policy at least once per year to comply with HSE regulations. The document should be reviewed by the health and safety officer, the managing director, and any other persons involved with HSE and employee wellbeing. If your workplace has changed drastically for whatever reason (such as new equipment used, or a drastic increase in staff count), you should review the policy more frequently.

Health and safety policies should contain three main sections, as outlined below: Section 1 - Your statement of intent as an employer. Section 2 - Your responsibilities for health and safety as an employer, plus who is responsible for what. Section 3 - The processes and procedures in place to ensure you’re meeting your statement of intent.

There are various elements that should be included in a company health and safety policy, although these will differ by industry:

  • Employee health and safety Codes of Practice
  • Reporting arrangements for H&S issues
  • Emergency procedures
  • Risk assessment procedures
  • First aid procedures
  • COSHH assessments and procedures
  • Machinery safety and maintenance procedures
  • PPE usage
  • Provision of welfare procedures
  • Food hygiene procedures
  • H&S training and induction procedures
  • Smoking, alcohol, and drugs procedures
  • Traffic management policy
  • Safety of contractors and visitors
