The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is the primary piece of legislation covering work-related health and safety in the United Kingdom. It sets out employers’ responsibilities for health and safety at work. Employers have a 'duty of care' to look after, as far as possible, the health and safety and welfare of employees while they are at work. Not only employers have responsibilities for the health and safety of their employees but they are also responsible for any visitors to their premises such as customers, suppliers and the general public.

All employers must conduct a risk assessment; however, only employers employing five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy and have to record the significant findings of their risk assessment.

Employers who employ five or more people are legally required to have a written health and safety policy and a record of health and safety arrangements.

On the other hand, employers who employ less than five people are not legally required to have a written health and safety policy, however, it is always recommended and good practice to have one in place.

This Construction Health and Safety Policy & Procedures is in Microsoft Word format, written in plain English easy to use and edit.
