  1. Health and Safety Executive Eliminating Duplication: H&S Policies and Recording H&S Arrangements Steve Woolley (Head Enforcement Policy Unit) Ron Griffiths (Enforcement Policy Unit)

  2. Employers of 5 or more:- Section 2(3) HSWA – write a health and safety policy Regulations 3, 4 and 5 of MHSWR – Do the risk assessment, record the significant findings, implement and record the arrangements

  3. Two duties or one? Room for confusion? Proposed way forward:-

  4. Aim to be clear what is required • Build on simplification work started by the Sensible Risk Management campaign. • Join up with other HSE work streams on health and safety management systems – while recognising that detailed approaches are not suited to all businesses.

  5. Ensure resulting key messages are communicated clearly and simply • Revise and update HSE guidance, including internal guidance to inspectors.

  6. Questions for Forum Members

  7. Do businesses spend resources producing two documents - a health and safety policy and a written record of arrangements? • Do businesses: - write these themselves? employ a consultant? take advice from trade associations, etc? • What is the impact of the duties: - a real driver to get sensible arrangements in place? Simply a way to keep large clients happy? Etc.....? • Is the cost significant – how much?
