Sample Health And Saftey Policy Template (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

Implementation of Policy

Information: The Managing Director or Safety Advisor will ensure that all employees have

access to the Health and Safety Policy. Each employee will be given a copy of the general

policy on commencement of his or her employment.

Also all employees should know where the first-aid kit is located, have a copy of the emergency

plan and be trained on the emergency plan and evacuation procedures.

Risk assessment: it will be undertaken for all members of staff, work activities and systems

annually. It consists in identifying the hazards; identifying who might be harmed and how;

evaluating the risks from identified hazards.

If there are no hazards, there are no risks. Where risks are already controlled in some way, the

effectiveness of those controls needs to be considered when assessing the extent of the risk

that remains.

The results of the risk assessments will be recorded in writing, and safety procedures adjusted

to ensure adequate levels of health safety and welfare.
