Health and Safety Policy Statement

The foundational health and safety document required by HSWA 1974 for every employer with 5 or more employees. Must contain three parts: the policy statement signed by a director, the organisation (named persons and their H&S responsibilities), and the arrangements (specific procedures for risk assessment, training, emergency procedures, and welfare). Failure to have a written policy is a criminal offence.
