What is a Health & Safety policy ?

The first part of managing Health & Safety in your workplace is to create a policy. Health & Safety policy is the Health & Safety policy statement. (Also known as a statement of intent, in some circumstances).

The Health and Safety Executive covers three main categories for Health & Safety policies and procedures. Statement of intent, responsibilities for Health & Safety and arrangement for Health & Safety.

The statement outlines safety objectives which are both measurable and not measurable.

Of course, different businesses will have individual Health & Safety issues, depending on their workplaces so, it’s beneficial for all employers to have Health & Safety management aims in an overall statement.
