Health & Safety Policy and Procedures

A robust health and safety policy help with identifying risks to your staff and others who work or come into contact with your business including contractors, visitors and members of the public. It is a legal requirement to have a health and safety policy in place, to identify reasonably foreseeable risks and to reduce those risks so far as is reasonably practicable. For you, this means having a thorough policy statement, good organisational responsibilities and tight procedures in place so that you can manage risk and comply with legislation.

What are the benefits?

A robust Health & Safety Policy provides a comprehensive system that you can easily work to in order to achieve good health & safety performance and legal compliance. A well-written policy ensures a streamlined and unified approach for staff and contractors to understand and follow. A good Health & Safety Policy also provides a competitive advantage and enhances reputation, whilst, most importantly, ensuring the safety of your workplace.
