Health & Safety Policy

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states:

It shall be the duty of every employer to prepare, and as often as may be appropriate revise, a written statement of his general policy with respect to the health and safety at work of his employees and the organisation, and arrangements for the time being in force for carrying out that safety policy, and to bring the statement and any revision of it to the notice of all his employees.

The Health and Safety Executive in the UK expects any business employing more than 5 people to have a Health and Safety Policy and operate appropriate health and safety systems. This is also a requirement in other countries including Australia, the USA and Canada where each country will have specific safety and policy guidelines and requirements for Safety Policys and Statements.

If you have been asked to provide a copy of your Health and Safety Policy or you have now employed 5 or more people, then you need a Company Health and Safety Policy and Policy Statement that is suited to your company and its activities.
