Health and safety policy checklist

The following checklist is intended as an aid to the writing and review of a safety policy. It is derived from the booklet Writing a safety policy statement published by the HSE in booklet HSC 6. 

Safe storage, handling and, where applicable, packaging, labelling and transport of dangerous substances 

Controls of work involving harmful substances such as lead and asbestos 

The introduction of new plant, equipment or substances into the workplace by examination, testing and consultation with the workforce. 

Does it say how employees are to be involved in health and safety matters, for example, by being consulted, by taking part in inspections, and by sitting on a safety committee
