Health and Safety Policies

It is a requirement of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act to compile a health and safety policy which outlines the objectives and arrangements that your company has in place in order to manage health and safety. This document should be unique and should state who is responsible for undertaking specific tasks, when they should be done and how.

If your organisation employs five or more members of staff then the policy must be written down and made available to any interested party.

A health and safety policy generally consists of three key areas: -

  • A signed statement of intent which outlines how safety will be managed. This statement is often a single page document and demonstrates the company’s commitment to health and safety.
  • Details of responsibilities that key members of staff have.
  • Details of specific arrangements, which detail how activities are managed.

The compilation of a policy document is not a once in a lifetime experience, as it must be regularly reviewed to ensure that it constantly reflects your business developments. Citation plc take the hassle out of preparing your policy, as our dedicated health and safety consultants will discuss what is required with you and prepare a suitable document on your behalf.

This document will be subsequently reviewed on a regular basis by the health and safety consultant to ensure that it shows a true reflection of your company.
