ISO 45001 (occupational H&S): OH&S policy, fatigue management, consultation.
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.
Can I download policy templates in Word format?

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). An ISO policy is a formal policy aligned with an international management-system standard (ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001) used to demonstrate compliance during audit and certification.
Do I need to review my policies regularly?
Yes. UK H&S policies should be reviewed at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes to your organisation, the law, or workplace practices. ISO standards require formal annual management reviews. Our generator includes a review-date scheduler.
Can I customise the policy templates to my organisation?
Yes — fully. Edit clauses, add named responsible persons, set review schedules, insert your organisation's specific responsibilities and procedures. Every template is a starting point you tailor to your specific business.
