Are the policy templates HSE-compliant?

Yes. All general policy templates are aligned with HSE guidance and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. ISO templates align with the current versions of the relevant ISO standards. You customise each policy to your organisation's specific context.

What's the difference between a company policy and an ISO policy?

A company policy covers everyday operational topics required by UK law (health and safety, lone working, fire safety, manual handling).
