Office Health and Safety Policy & Procedures

Office Health and Safety Policy & Procedures

The Office Health and Safety Policy & Procedures software package has been specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of office-based organisations.  We specialise in ensuring that our Health and Safety Policies are industry-specific, and so by purchasing our software, you can be assured that you are purchasing a policy which is applicable to and addresses the actual activities and work processes undertaken by your own organisation.

All companies employing 5 or more people must, by law, have a written Health and Safety Policy specific to their activities.  The Office Health and Safety Policy & Procedures software package has been prepared to address this requirement, though smaller companies can also benefit by using the package to help improve their management of Health and Safety, whilst also demonstrating their Health and Safety competence to others.
The Office Health and Safety Policy & Procedures package is a professionally prepared document with over 100 pages of comprehensive information that has been written and prepared by professionally qualified Health and Safety practitioners.

This document is a must for all companies who either do not have a Health and Safety Policy, or whose Health and Safety Policy needs updating.  This document will not only ensure that you have a legally compliant Health and Safety Policy and associated safety procedures, but it can also help to make your workplace a safer and happier place.  A professional Health and Safety Policy can also be used to help demonstrate to your insurers your organisation's commitment to a high standard of Occupational Health and Safety, which in turn can lead to a reduction in insurance premiums.
