Health & Safety Policy Checker — Does Your Policy Hold Up?
Check whether your Health & Safety Policy contains everything assessors look for. The H&S Policy is the first document checked on every major scheme.
What a Strong H&S Policy Must Contain
Common Issues Found in H&S Policies
No signature on the policy
An unsigned policy is not considered a valid statement of intent by any major scheme.
No date or review date
Schemes check whether the policy is current — an undated policy cannot be confirmed as up to date.
Generic downloaded template
Template policies not adapted to your business are identified and rejected by assessors.
No arrangements section
The arrangements section is where most assessors spend time — a policy without it will fail.
Responsibilities unnamed
The responsibilities section must name individuals or roles, not just say "management".
Why It Matters
The Health & Safety Policy is checked as the primary document on every major pre-qualification scheme — CHAS, SMAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, and NRTAUK NAS. A weak or incomplete H&S Policy will result in a failed assessment regardless of the quality of your other documents.
