Health and Safety Policy Statement
If you employ more than five members of staff, it is a legal requirement to have a Health and
Safety Policy Statement. A health and safety policy statement sets out how you manage
health and safety within your workplace. It demonstrates your businesses attitude towards
health and safety and the steps, arrangements and systems you have in place to ensure you
comply with Health and Safety legislation. If you employ less than five staff, it is still good
practice to complete a Health and Safety Policy Statement.
