Policy Overview

Section 2(3) of the Health and Safety at work Act 1974 states

"Every employer shall prepare (and as often as may be appropriate revise) a written statement of his general policy [The Policy] with respect to:

a) the health and safety at work of his employees

b) the organisation and arrangements in force for the time being for carrying out that policy and bring the statement and any revisions of it to the notice of all his employees"

Such a written policy must be in place for employers who employ 5 or more employees ( Employers Health and Safety Policy Statements (Exception) Regulations 1975)

Further policy requirements are also contained within the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the policy section of this Safety Management System contains all relevant polices as are required by law and they may be easily and readily viewed by all employees
