Having a health and safety policy is often the first step to complying with health and safety requirements and will help your business stay a step ahead in managing this complex area.
With a policy in place, you will send a clear message to your employees – and other stakeholders, such as customers and suppliers – that you are committed to protecting the health and safety of your staff and meeting your legal responsibilities.
By law, businesses with more than five employees must have a written health and safety policy that includes details of who is responsible for what issues, when and how.
At Palmers Solicitors, our expert team can provide comprehensive advice to employers who wish to create a health and safety policy, including assistance with establishing policy content, effective ways to implement the policy and how to measure and review performance.
