Health & safety policies
Your policy sets the direction for managing health and safety. It brings together your commitment, the people responsible and the arrangements that support it.
How we can help
Clear responsibilities
Set out who is responsible for what, so managers and employees can understand their part.
Practical arrangements
Describe how safety is managed day to day, with a clear structure for communicating and reviewing the policy.
A USEFUL STARTING POINT
What to have ready.
If you already have these details, they can help shape our first conversation. If you do not, we can discuss where to start.
- Your existing policy, if you have one
- An overview of your activities and locations
- Your management structure and key roles
- Changes to your business or working arrangements
FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO NEXT STEPS
A straightforward approach.
- 01
Understand your organisation and existing documents.
- 02
Draft or update the policy with your input.
- 03
Agree ownership, communication and review arrangements.
Can you review a policy we already have?
Yes. We can discuss reviewing your current document, identifying gaps and updating it to better reflect how your business operates.
How is a policy different from a procedure?
A policy sets the overall direction and responsibilities. A procedure explains how a particular activity is carried out. The two should work together.
Who approves the policy?
Your employer or most senior responsible person should approve and sign the statement of intent. We help prepare the document; ownership stays with your business.
