Writing a Health & Safety Policy

About Course

Every business needs a health and safety policy, and if you have five or more employees it must be written down. This course follows HSE’s three-part structure: statement of intent, responsibilities and arrangements, with practical tips on writing, sharing and reviewing the policy.

This course gives general information based on HSE guidance for Great Britain and is not legal advice. Northern Ireland has equivalent legislation enforced by HSENI.
