Health and Safety Policies & Procedures
What Are They?
A health and safety policy sets out how your organisation will meet its legal duties to protect employees, visitors, contractors, and the general public from harm. It explains your approach to managing health and safety and outlines:
- Who is responsible for what
- What actions are required
- How and when those actions should be carried out
The policy forms the foundation for promoting a safe and healthy working environment and supports the consistent implementation of safe working practices.
Why Do You Need Them?
In the UK, if your organisation has five or more employees, you are legally required to have a written health and safety policy.
Even if you employ fewer than five people, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends having a written policy to improve understanding and ensure compliance.
Your policy ensures that all employees and managers:
- Understand their individual and collective responsibilities
- Know how to act in accordance with safety protocols
- Are informed during induction, onboarding, toolbox talks, and refresher training
- Stay up to date when the policy is reviewed or revised
Employees must be informed and consulted whenever changes are made to the policy. Regular communication helps maintain awareness and encourages a proactive safety culture.
