Health and Safety Policy

If you employ five or more people, you must have a written Health and Safety Policy. That is a requirement of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

A Health and Safety Policy sets out how health and safety issues are managed within your organisation - and because Health & Safety regulations and best practice guidance are constantly changing, it is more important than ever for businesses to demonstrate their obligations are effectively managed.

 

Northern Safety will formulate a Health & Safety Policy that demonstrates your commitment to planning and managing health and safety at work, and establishes who is responsible for such things as first aid, health and safety and fire risk assessments, and investigating accidents.

 

Once the Health and Safety Policy has been introduced to the workplace, Northern Safety can offer assistance with its implementation so that it becomes a natural part of the business operation.
