The Health and Safety Policy Templates are provided in different version to meet different requirements.

• There is an ISO 45001:2018 compliant version
• There is a template which documents Health and Safety Policies without any consideration to ISO 45001 compliance
• There is a template with a combination of the Health and Safety Policy along with other arrangements to help smaller companies meet legal requirements

The ISO 45001 Health and safety policy can be used to communicate an organisational commitment to the provision of a safe working environment and the prevention of injury and ill health. Additionally, it includes an overview of the organisation’s Occupational Health and Safety management system which can serve to communicate its commitment to a positive safety culture encompassing incident reporting and the elimination of hazards and risks.

The V1 policy is a requirement for ISO 45001:2018 compliance and can be edited to suit. However, care must be taken if editing this policy to meet ISO 45001 compliance as there are elements of the standard that the policy must address. In this instance the organisation must communicate: –

• A commitment to the provision of safe and healthy working conditions
• A framework for setting Occupational Health and Safety (OH &S) objectives
• A commitment to satisfy any relevant legal or other requirements
• A commitment to the elimination of hazards and reduction of risks
• A commitment to the continual improvement of integrated management systems
• A commitment to the consultation and participation of workers

Like all other policies this policy should be retained, filed appropriately and made available to all interested parties.
