Health & Safety Policy

 

Setting the scene Daly Response Alarm Systems supply and install intruder alarms to residential and business premises. Manager John Daly employs 22 people – a mixture of office-based staff and engineers who work remotely. Cleaning is shared by the office-based staff on a rota basis. John prepared his own health and safety policy statement using HSE’s template. He then thought about what he should include in his policy, such as remote working, personal protective equipment, staff consultation, training etc. He decided that he and his assistant manager were the most competent (experienced and capable) people to take responsibility for health and safety issues. John presented the policy statement at a staff meeting and decided to review and update the policy every year or straightaway if there is a significant change in the workplace.
