Hi everyone
Has anyone got a copy of their Health and safety manual I can have a look at and don't mind me adapting
I've looked at the downloads and cant find one although I have used blank H&S policy from Willpool

Re: Health and Safety Manual
Are you looking for one which conforms to any of the ISO standards or just a basic one?

Re: Health and Safety Manual
Hi Safety Beard,
I have seen 2 types of manual:
First was a virtual transcript of the standard (9001 not 18001) and basically just replaced the 'shall' with 'we do' or something similar. It was about 30 pages long, ticked the ISO box but not very imaginative! This was how I did my first manual but changed it very soon after as it didn't actually mean much to the rest of the company.
Second type was only 3 pages long and basically just pointed you to the policy, responsibilities, procedures, organogram, system docs, etc. It made it much more useable and got the thumbs up from Mr ISO. I used it in 2 companies, one just 9001 and the other had an integrated 9001, 18001 and 14001 system and it worked fine.
Just a note, in the new versions of 9001, 14001 and now 45001 they do not actually require you to have a manual.
Let me know if you would like a copy.
Regards
Glen
