Are the company policy templates and ISO policy templates really free to download?

Yes — completely free. Both general company policy templates and ISO policy templates are free to use forever, no paywall. Customise to your organisation and download as a professional PDF in minutes.

What ISO policy templates are included (ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001)?

All four major ISO standards are covered. ISO 9001 (quality management): calibration, change management, customer satisfaction, document control, supplier evaluation, training. ISO 14001 (environmental): environmental policy, environmental communication, continuous improvement. ISO 27001 (information security): information security policy, data classification, incident management, change management, HR security, communications security, physical and environmental security. ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety): 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?

Every policy template downloads as a professional PDF for free. Word (.docx) export is unlocked on Standard and Pro plans for users who want to edit further in Microsoft Word.

Do you have a free risk management policy template?

Yes. We have a dedicated risk management policy template that aligns with ISO 9001 and ISO 31000 risk management guidance. Free to download as PDF; customisable to your organisation's risk appetite, governance structure, and review schedule.

Do you have a free ISO 27001 information security policy template?

Yes. We have the master ISO 27001 information security policy template, plus all the supporting sub-policies required by Annex A of ISO 27001: data classification, incident management, change management, HR security, communications security, physical and environmental security, supplier evaluation, and more.

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 quality, ISO 14001 environmental, ISO 27001 information security, ISO 45001 OH&S) 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.

Are the policy templates suitable for UK construction businesses?

Yes. We have construction-specific policy templates (alcohol and drug-free workplace, working at height, CDM compliance, manual handling for construction) and the general policies are written to UK construction industry norms.
