Health & Safety Policies and Handbooks
If you employ five or more staff the Health and Safety at Work Act requires you to have written health and safety books and procedures in place, which you need not only to protect your staff, but also to protect yourself from costly litigation.
As a specialist in health & safety policy, NorthgateArinso can help you meet all the necessary legislative requirements and manage your health and safety procedures effectively.
A comprehensive health & safety policy
Our established team of health and safety policy advisers have many years' experience of writing and tailoring company-specific policies and health and safety books to enable our clients to implement compliant and easy-to-interpret health and safety procedures for their staff via effective two-tier health and safety procedures, which cover:
- A health & safety policy with information for directors and managers
- Easy to follow health and safety books outlining relevant procedures for employees and contractors
Compliant procedures
All health and safety policies are prepared to conform with HS(G)65: Successful Health and Safety Management. This is a guidance document produced by the Health and Safety Executive, which provides tried and tested methods for the successful management of health & safety policy and is viewed as a framework for implementing procedures and a benchmark when assessing the suitability of any policy.
As such, for a health and safety policy to be effective, HS(G)65 recommends the inclusion of the following specific elements:
- A health and safety policy
- Organising
- Planning
- Measurement of health and safety procedures
- A review of your health & safety policy
Stay up-to-date
Anyone that runs a business knows how often health and safety policies need to be updated to remain compliant. But, we take care of this for you. Part of our ongoing health and safety procedures service is to conduct an annual review, to ensure the content of the health & safety policy is current and changes within the business are reflected within your health and safety books and documents.
Easy access to your health and safety policies
Our health and safety policies are clear, concise and provide anyone reading them with the information needed to work safely. Pages are also marked with the date of production, making it simple to establish if copies are current.
Health and safety books are usually delivered in quality bound folders; with divided sections for ease of reference. We can also provide you with your health and safety policy and employee health and safety books on CD, which is useful when tendering for contracts, etc. Furthermore, customers that sign up for our ES Gateway service can view their individual health and safety policy on line.
By choosing NorthgateArinso, you can be sure of a professional yet personal approach. Our dedicated health and safety advisers will work in close consultation with your appointed representative to establish effective health and safety policies to fit your business structure and achieve the best results from your workforce.
