Standard Health and Safety Arrangements & Procedures
The Health and Safety Arrangements & Procedures document the practical steps a business put in place to manage health and safety risks in the workplace. Arrangements are the structures, policies and systems put in place to establish, maintain and promote safety at work outlining how the business complies with health and safety laws and responsibility for compliance such as carrying out risk assessments, providing employee training, having a process for recording and investigating accidents etc. Procedures are the detailed step-by-step instructions employees must follow for specific tasks such as fire evacuation procedure, first aid procedure, manual handling procedure etc.
The Health and Safety Arrangements and Procedures are the third step in a business’s health and safety management system and should be applied in combination with a Health and Safety Statement and a Health and Safety Policy.
What is the Difference between these Standard Health and Safety Arrangements & Procedures?
The requirements and expectations in respect of health and safety management vary substantially between different types and sizes of businesses. Accordingly, two standard versions are available to provide the range of options that should be taken into consideration. In addition to these generic templates a selection of industry specific versions can also be downloaded.
