For UK employers

Health & Safety Policy

A written health and safety policy in HSE's three-part structure — a legal requirement from 5 employees, good practice below that.

Supported scope

  • HSE's three-part structure: Statement of general policy, Organisation, Arrangements.
  • Explains the 5-employee legal threshold either way, so you know where you stand.
  • References your risk assessment process rather than embedding full risk assessments.
  • Covers accident reporting, fire safety, first aid, training and employee consultation.
  • Notes the duty to display the HSE Health and Safety Law poster, or provide the equivalent leaflet.

UKDocs AI is a document-drafting service, not a law firm or solicitor. This policy sets the framework — your actual risk assessments should be carried out and kept separately.
