Introduction to this document

Health and safety policy checklist

Developing a health and safety policy is difficult to get right and topics may be overlooked. Use our checklist to identify hazards faced by your business which should be included.

Completing the checklist

Use our Health and Safety Policy Checklist to ensure that key topics are included in your policy. Cross-check it against your arrangements to ensure continuity with your statements.

We recommend that even if a hazard is not relevant, you leave it on the checklist but mark as not applicable. This demonstrates to interested parties that you have not ignored any potential hazards. You can add further hazards that are specific to your organisation.

Once completed, this checklist can be used as an index to your health and safety management system and is a useful document to show an auditor that you are managing your system with efficacy.
