Standard H&S Statements, Policies & Arrangements

The Standard Health and Safety Statements, Policies and Arrangements & Procedures are generic and simple to use. They are professionally drafted and are fully editable so they can be applied and amended to suit a wide range of businesses and operations. These standard templates are drafted for either self-employed or company use. Also available are more specialised versions of these templates within the Industry Sector and Landlord portfolios of statements, policies and arrangements & procedures.

To comply with the Health and Safety Act 1974, the principal health and safety law in the UK, all businesses with 5 or more employees must have a health and safety policy. The first part of a health and safety policy is a health and safety statement. Businesses with 5 employees or less are not obliged to have a health and safety policy or statement, but it is common and good practice to provide a statement to declare the business' commitment to its' legal duties in respect of safety in the workplace.

How do Health and Safety Statements, Policies and Arrangements & Procedures work together?

Each document has a different purpose and scope:

• The Statement is a high-level overview and declaration of intent. It acts as a guide to the development of safety policies, arrangements and procedures. For businesses with 5 employees or more it forms the first part of the legally required Health & Safety Policy. For businesses with fewer than 5 employees it is good practice having a statement as it helps to promote safety at work, giving 
• The Policy provides structure to managing safety, defining roles, responsibilities and objectives.
• The Arrangements and Procedures document the implementation of safety measures

These Standard Health and Safety Statements, Policies and Arrangements & Procedures will help set the foundations for establishing a health and safety management system.
