Health and Safety
Policies
It is a specific requirement under Section 2 of the Health and Safety at
Work etc Act 1974, especially where five or more employees are employed
by your organisation, that you must have a written Health and Safety
Policy statement of the general policy and that this must be reviewed on
a regular basis and revised to account for any changes in working
procedures.
Whilst smaller organisations and sole traders are not required by law to
possess a written Health and Safety Policy it may be a requirement of
your clients or prospective clients for you to produce to them a written
Health and Safety Policy as part of their own commitment to Health and
Safety and could lead to the success or failure of your business.
