SHOPS & RETAIL ORGANISATIONS HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY & PROCEDURES

The Shops and Retail Organisations Health & Safety - Policy & Procedures software package has been specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of today’s retail organisations.  We specialise in ensuring that our policies are industry specific, and so by purchasing our software, you can be assured that you are purchasing a policy which is applicable to, and addresses the actual activities and work processes undertaken by your own organisation.

All companies employing 5 or more people must, by law, have a written Health & Safety Policy specific to their activities.  The Shops and Retail Organisations Health & Safety - Policy & Procedures software package has been prepared to address this requirement, though companies with less than 5 employees can also benefit by using the package to help improve their management of Health and Safety, whilst also demonstrating their Health and Safety competence to others.  

The Shops and Retail Organisations Health & Safety - Policy & Procedures package is a professionally prepared document with over 120 pages of comprehensive information that has been written and prepared by professionally qualified Health and Safety practitioners. 

This document is a must for all companies who either do not have a Health & Safety Policy, or whose policy needs updating.  This document will not only ensure that you have a legally compliant Health and Safety Policy and associated safety procedures, but it can also help to make your workplace a safer and happier place.  A professional Health and Safety Policy can also be used to help demonstrate to your insurers your organisation’s commitment to a high standard of occupational Health and Safety, which in turn can lead to a reduction in insurance premiums.

As the software is in MS Word format it can easily be edited and customised to meet the needs of your organisation.  Logos can be imported, and if necessary, additional documents added.
