Occupational Health Policy and Procedure Writing

Occupational Health

Policy and Procedure Writing

If you are introducing occupational health into your business you will want to define your documented standards or standard operating procedures. This can become very relevant, in particular should a claim or employment HR issue arise around wellbeing or drug and alcohol testing.

Our trained and knowledgeable occupational health not only advise, counsel and carry out health checks, but they can also write the policies and procedures to support your occupational health and safety management systems.

Policies and procedures are bespoke to a company’s ill health risks, so just ask if you think one is relevant. However, typical procedures we get asked to write include:

  • Occupational Health Policy
  • Mental Health Policy and Procedures
  • Health and Wellbeing Policy and Procedure
  • Drug and Alcohol Procedure
  • Equality Management

We often work with a company’s HR department and/or their Health and Safety Department when writing occupational health procedures.

John Williams Heating Services Ltd

We have worked with Safewell for many years and are retained clients, so we have developed an excellent working relationship with the team. However, this really came into its own when Covid 19 appeared.

As a Plumbing and Heating business, we were able to carry on working during the lockdown but only for responding to emergencies. We were obviously very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and before we even had chance to get in touch with Safewell, they had emailed us offering their assistance. It is hard to put down on paper how that made us feel - we like everyone else felt totally at sea, which way to turn, what to do? But Safewell were there guiding, supporting and being totally brilliant. Their attention to detail is very impressive and reassuring and we feel able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly.

During the pandemic Safewell helped us to write risk assessments, safety procedures and protocols. They kept in touch regularly, issuing new guidance as soon as it appeared and checking in with us. They held group Q&A sessions over Zoom which were helpful, and knowing other businesses were facing the same challenges and having the opportunity to discuss issues was invaluable. Their help during the preparation for a full return to work was brilliant, they enabled us to be fully prepared and feel in control, and when we had our first case of Covid within the team, because we had planned our response it felt ok.

I think our team felt very reassured by our robust approach and that our office was Covid secure.
We are extremely grateful to all the team at Safewell

Brew Monday: Supporting Mental Wellbeing at Work

Often dubbed the most depressing day of the year, the third Monday in January is known as Blue Monday. At Safewell, we prefer the alternative Brew Monday – a simple but powerful prompt to check in with colleagues and encourage connection.

The law does require employers to provide a reasonable working environment, including temperature, as part of their health and safety duties
