A written health and safety policy sets the tone for health and safety activities. It lets everyone know that health and safety is a priority and identifies roles and responsibilities at all levels. A good health and safety policy should be simple and easy to understand. It does not need to be longer than a few paragraphs. As the leader in your business you influence attitudes.
Employers have the greatest chance of employee commitment when they lead by example.
