Any help please

[smithers1603]

As I have always been a small business of less than 5 employees, I have never needed this but I have recently set 3 more lads on which takes me over the 5 employee mark and is a must for the company to hold a health and safety policy. Does any one have a Generic Health and Safety Policy and a Environmental Policy I could have a look at to give me sum guidance

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

Regards Steve

HSE: Information about health and safety at work usually has a wealth of useful information, may be a fact sheet or something up there to give you a hand

There's an example H&S policy on this page....

Just open the tree surgery template example on this page. Cheap and complies.
