Heath and Safety Policy

Why do you need a Health and Safety Policy?blocked fire exit

Section 2 of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires every employer to have a Health and Safety Policy and also that employers with 5 or more employees must have a written record of their policy.

We will design a policy document that will fulfil your legal obligation. The policy document will specify your strategy for achieving compliance and how we develop best practice.

We will carry out an annual review so that you can be sure that your policy will always be up to date with legislation and reflect your current working practices.
