Every business, regardless of size or industry, is legally required to have a health and safety policy in place. At Square Safety Solutions, we help businesses across Greater Manchester and Cheshire develop comprehensive health and safety policies and documentation to ensure legal compliance and protect employees.

Why a Health & Safety Policy is Essential

A well-structured health and safety policy is more than just a legal requirement—it sets out your commitment to workplace safety and provides a framework for managing risks. A compliant policy helps to:

• Ensure compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
• Protect employees, contractors, and visitors from workplace hazards.
• Reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and costly legal claims.
• Demonstrate your commitment to health and safety in tender applications and client assessments.
• Provide clear guidelines for employees on safe working practices.

Who Needs a Health & Safety Policy?

Under UK law, businesses with five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy. However, even smaller businesses benefit from clear documentation, as it helps create a structured approach to workplace safety.
