Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council carries out regular inspections on local businesses and business premises to ensure that health and safety legislation is complied with, and that safe and healthy working conditions are provided for all employees and visitors.
Answer: A health and safety policy means the health and safety arrangements i.e. the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventative and protective measures. If there are 5 or more employees these arrangements must be recorded. If there are less than 5 employees the appropriate arrangements still need to be in place.
