Bespoke H&S policy
A full statement of intent, organisation and arrangements written for your business — never a fill-in-the-blanks template. Structured to satisfy Section 2(3) of HSWA 1974 and signed at director level.
Service
Policies your team will actually follow.
A health & safety policy that meets Section 2(3) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 — statement of intent, organisation and arrangements — plus the procedures your people will genuinely use day to day. Clear, current and built around your real activities, not a generic template that falls apart at the first audit.
2(3)HSWA 1974
Why it matters
A policy that holds up — on paper and on site.
If you employ five or more people, the law requires a written health & safety policy. But a downloaded template names hazards you don't have and stays silent on the ones you do — and an inspector or auditor spots that in minutes.
We write yours from the ground up around your real activities, structured exactly as Section 2(3) of HSWA 1974 expects: a statement of intent signed at director level, a clear organisation setting out who is responsible for what, and the arrangements — the practical procedures — that turn good intentions into day-to-day reality. Regulation 5 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 then expects those arrangements to be planned, organised, monitored and reviewed. We build that loop in from the start.
Statement of intent
A concise, signed commitment from the top — the cornerstone every auditor looks for first.
Organisation
Named roles and responsibilities, from director to operative, so accountability is never vague.
Arrangements
The real procedures for your real risks — referenced to the regulations that actually apply to you.
What's included
Everything you need to be compliant — and confident.
Not just a document, but a working system: the policy, the supporting procedures, the safe systems of work and the rollout that gets it off the shelf and into the way your team operates.
Arrangements for your activities
Procedures mapped to the regulations that actually bite — CDM 2015, PUWER 1998, COSHH 2002, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, LOLER and RIDDOR 2013 — and nothing you'll never use.
Safe systems of work
Clear SSOWs and method statements for your higher-risk tasks, flowing from your risk assessments under Regulation 3 of MHSWR 1999 — so controls are written down, not held in someone's head.
Toolbox talks & briefings
Ready-to-deliver toolbox talks and briefing notes that turn the policy into plain-English conversations on site — with sign-off sheets that prove your duty to inform and instruct.
Rollout & embedding support
We don't email a PDF and disappear. We brief managers, walk the team through what's changed and make sure the new arrangements stick — the part most consultants skip.
Scheduled reviews
Policies date fast. We diary the reviews and refresh your documents when the law, your activities or your structure change — keeping you audit-ready and aligned with ISO 45001 if you hold it.
How it works
From blank page to embedded — in three clear stages.
No 200-page binder nobody reads. We learn how you really work, write what fits, and make sure it lands with the people who'll use it.
01Step 01
Understand
A site visit and a proper conversation. We learn your activities, your structure and the hazards you genuinely face — so the arrangements reflect your work, not a sector cliché.
02Step 02
Plan & draft
We draft the statement of intent, the organisation chart and the arrangements, cross-referenced to the regulations that apply — HSWA 1974, MHSWR 1999, CDM 2015 and the rest — then refine it with you.
03Step 03
Embed
We roll it out with toolbox talks and manager briefings, capture sign-off, and set the review dates — so the policy lives in how your team works, not in a drawer.
CMIOSHChartered
Written by a Chartered professional
Documents that read like a person wrote them.
Your policy is drafted by Dominic Gibbons CMIOSH — Chartered Member of IOSH, with extensive experience leading health & safety on demanding construction, manufacturing, civil engineering and utilities sites.
That matters, because the hardest part of a good policy isn't quoting the regulations — it's translating them into language a busy supervisor will read and act on. We write in plain English, keep it proportionate, and reference the right standards behind the scenes: HSG53 for respiratory protection, COSHH 2002 for hazardous substances, the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER where you lift. The result is a document that satisfies an HSE inspector and still makes sense to the person holding the drill.
Plain English — readable on site, defensible in an audit
Proportionate — sized to your real risks, never gold-plated
Yours — bespoke, current and ready for any accreditation
