According to The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974), health and safety policies must be regularly reviewed and revised, and changes must be brought to the attention of all employees.

Health and safety policies are a legal requirement for any company which employs 5 or more members of staff. The health and safety policy should consist of three key sections:

• The Statement of Intent (Company goals, objectives and targets for health and safety)
• Organisational Responsibilities (Management and employee responsibilities)
• Arrangements for Implementation (How the company will achieve their aims). This is company specific and should include health and safety issues on site

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. Compliance Health and Safety take the headache out of preparing your policy, as our dedicated health and safety consultants we will discuss what is required 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.
