Title: Health and Safety policy.
Post by: marcusj on February 28, 2008, 09:30:22 am
Hi All

I have a meeting next week with a potential client we have agreed in principle however they have asked to look at my health and safety policy.
We are only a small business so although we practice good health and safety and have a policy statement we do not have a full version i would be ever so grateful if someone could forward me a copy of theres.

Thank You

Marcus.

Hi Marcus,

I'll be honest. I had a look at what you had emailed me from someone else and I wouldn't use that as your health and safety policy. Its far too vague. You need to go into a lot more detail which is very boring but is required. You can never say enough when it comes to health and safety.

Regards,

Adrian

It is good to have a Health & Safety Policy but you only need it if you employ 5 or more staff including yourself

Hi Gerry,

Everyone, sole traders, self employed etc, requires a health and safety policy, risk assessments etc.etc.

The 5 employee rule means that ALL Health & Safety Policies/Procedures/Risk Assessments etc.etc have to be written down, for every type of work undertaken, including admin work (inc. VDU work etc).

Regards,

Rob
