It outlines the responsibilities, systems and procedures they have in place to manage risks and safeguard the wellbeing of employees, contractors and visitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The purpose of a HSE policy&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of having a work health and safety policy is to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ensure legal compliance: <\/strong>Having a document in place helps businesses to meet their legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support risk management:<\/strong> Empowers businesses to take a proactive approach to risk management, reduce incidents, and minimise the likelihood of accidents and work-related illness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Establish responsibilities:<\/strong> Clearly defines who is responsible for managing WHS at all levels of the business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Define the approach:<\/strong> Helps to outline the systems and processes a business has in place to identify and control workplace hazards.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promote a safety culture:<\/strong> Being transparent about a HSE policy template encourages safe behavior, raises awareness of risks and fosters a culture where health and safety is on the forefront of everyone&#8217;s minds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it a legal requirement in the UK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A written health and safety policy is a legal requirement for most businesses in the UK. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and more specifically the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, most employers must have a written health and safety policy that outlines their approach to managing workplace health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that requirements are dependent on the size of your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fewer than 5 employees:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Businesses that employ less than 5 members of staff do not legally need a written policy. However, they are still required to have processes in place and communicate those to team members.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 or more employees:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Businesses with 5 or more employees must have a written document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The health and safety policy template should include a statement of intent, details of responsibilities, and the arrangements in place to manage risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The health and safety policy template should be regularly reviewed and changes communicated to the team.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to approach health and safety at work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for you, making sure your business stays compliant is what 91±¬ΑΟ does best. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/employee-management-software\/\">employee management tool<\/a> has many policy templates readily available for your business to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about health and safety at work you need to consider the following things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assess potential risks and hazards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you work in an office, there are still things that can go wrong (ever burnt your hand using the boiling water tap? We rest our case).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to take into consideration all those things that could go wrong and what the potential consequences could be. You should also think about how serious those consequences could be and the likelihood of this scenario playing out. For example, in the hospitality business, accidents in the workplace such as cuts and burns will occur a lot more regularly. In construction, you have a lot of people working with very heavy tools and dangerous equipment on-site which could cause lots of health and safety risks if not used correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provide training and resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified the risks, you need to think about what you can reasonably do to prevent them from happening and then make those changes inside your business. It might be introducing additional training, advice, or resources related to WHS or putting up signs to constantly remind people to be vigilant. Whatever it takes, keep trialling new methods to make sure your employees are safe at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collect feedback from employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking to your staff and asking for feedback on what they perceive as a safety risk is a really good opportunity to understand your business better. Encourage staff members to share their suggestions and brainstorm about how you can create a better working environment. You\u2019ll also have people buy into your WHS approach before you even start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health and safety requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a business owner, leader or HR professional there are certain WHS requirements you must abide by. These include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have the right workplace facilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All businesses must maintain a safe and healthy workplace and provide adequate welfare facilities such as access to toilets and washbasins, drinking water and having somewhere to rest and eat meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have access to first aid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First aid is also a requirement, and as a business you must ensure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All workers have access to adequate first aid, this generally means ensuring they can access a suitably stocked first aid kit and have an ability to call an ambulance in an emergency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is an appointed person or people to take charge of first aid arrangements (can be you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information is provided to all workers telling them about first aid arrangements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Display the health and safety law poster or provide leaflet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Display the Health &amp; Safety Executive\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/pubns\/books\/lawposter-a2.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health and safety law poster<\/a> where your workers can easily read it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide each worker with the equivalent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/pubns\/books\/lawleaflet.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health and safety law leaflet<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appoint a competent person<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must appoint a competent person or people to help you meet your health and safety legal duties. This could be yourself, or another member of staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you manage a WHS incident?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite your best efforts, accidents can and do still happen. With that in mind, you should also include in your health and safety policy what to do if there is an incident or accident at work. This will ensure if the worst case does arise, everyone is prepared.You will need to specify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What immediate actions should take place;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who in the business needs to be notified and when;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If\/when you need to notify the Health &amp; Safety Executive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also have a process on how employees can record incidents, and you should regularly review these events to make sure the working environment remains safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mental health in the workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your business also has an obligation to take care of the mental health of your staff as far as practically possible. This includes preventing bullying, harassment and discrimination at work. We would recommend sending a clear message that these behaviours won\u2019t be tolerated in the workplace by having separate <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/workplace-harassment-and-bullying-policy-template\/\">policies to deal with bullying, harassment<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/equal-employment-opportunity-and-anti-discrimination-policy-template\/\">discrimination<\/a> including a contact person to bring these issues up with confidentially if you don\u2019t have a dedicated HR person inside your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.greatplacetowork.co.uk\/workplace-wellbeing-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Mental Health Workforce Report<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only fifty-five percent of employees at a typical UK workplace feel that their organisation genuinely prioritises wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employees across the UK are expecting more wellbeing support from their employers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nearly half (45%) of employees also say they don\u2019t look forward to coming to work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows just how important a work health and safety policy is to your business. You have a duty to make sure your employee wellness is checked. A good tip for this is to introduce an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help employees manage their mental health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review your WHS policy regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got this <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/blog\/what-is-a-workplace-policy\/\">outstanding company policy<\/a> in place, make sure you review it regularly. WHS isn\u2019t a set-and-forget activity. You should continuously be reassessing the risks that are involved in your business and coming up with new strategies to help make the place of work as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work Health and Safety Policy FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I have a small number of employees. Do I need to write my workplace health and safety policy down?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By law, if you have fewer than 5 employees, you don\u2019t need to write down your workplace health and safety policy. But, it\u2019s still considered best practice to have a written document as it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clearly communicate your approach to health and safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show evidence of compliance if ever inspected by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide clarity and consistency, especially if your team grows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need to display my health and safety policy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, there\u2019s no legal requirement to display the full policy. But, you must share it with your employees in a way that they can easily understand and refer back to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where should health and safety policies be displayed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, you don\u2019t have to display the full policy, but it does need to be accessible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can make it accessible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Employee Handbook<\/strong>: Include it in printed or digital versions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Company Intranet or Shared Drive<\/strong>: If you use digital systems, upload it where staff can access it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On a Noticeboard<\/strong>: Consider posting the policy in a communal area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>During Induction and Training<\/strong>: Make sure new employees receive and understand the policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay WHS compliant with 91±¬ΑΟ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying compliant is essential for any business, and having a robust WHS policy is part of that.
