Health and Safety Policy Writing for Your Business

If you employ more than 5 people you must by law have a written health and safety policy statement. We’d like to make that easier for you to do. We’ve developed a template for you to complete and produce your own safety policy. Please note this is currently in development, and probably only suitable for small, mainstream businesses.
 
The introduction of a drug and alcohol policy can be a daunting prospect so expert help and support is invaluable.  ProActive Health and Safety has a long track record of assisting a wide variety of organisations with the successful introduction of policies. 
 
Organisational culture will dictate many of the policy requirements, so there is no ‘off-the-peg’ solution for policy implementation.  ProActive Health and Safety helps by providing appropriate guidance and advice to assist with the production of the organisation’s own policy. From initial advice, through to draft policy stages and consultation, ProActive Health and Safety will work closely with you to implement the policy and thereafter ensure its successful continuance.  
 
Policies can involve a wide range of tests under varied circumstances – pre-employment, random or for cause. ProActive Health and Safety’s experience ensures that clear information can be provided for all cases, covering many different scenarios and helping to ensure that all questions and concerns can be answered.
 
ProActive Health and Safety can help by offering the following:-
 
-         Working with key implementers to understand main issues for the organisation
-         Drug awareness – helping to put the policy into context
-         Works council or union meetings – to answer technical questions
-         Local or focus meetings to answer concerns at any level
-         Ongoing training sessions and updates
 
When the policy is introduced, ProActive Health and Safety can continue to offer support through chain of custody training courses and updates and refresher courses for staff involved in managing the policy.
