Health, Safety and Wellbeing Policy Templates

This group of Health, Safety and Wellbeing Templates provides a joined-up framework to manage smoking and vaping, alcohol and drugs misuse, lone working, mental health and menopause at work. Together they help employers meet key UK health and safety, equality and employment law duties while supporting staff wellbeing and reducing operational risk. All these templates have been drafted and maintained up-to-date by experienced HR Professionals and solicitors.

No Smoking Policy

A comprehensive workplace smoking policy that bans or tightly controls smoking on company premises, in vehicles and at work, with options for designated areas. It reinforces legal compliance, sets clear behavioural standards and signposts support for employees who wish to stop smoking.

E-Cigarettes Guidance Notes

Plain-language e-cigarettes guidance to help employers decide their approach to e-cigarettes, vapes and ENDS in the workplace. It explains the legal position, health and reputational issues, and options for rules and designated areas, supporting consistent implementation alongside the no-smoking policy.

Alcohol Policy

This alcohol policy manages alcohol use on and off site while on company business. It sets restrictions on drinking, explains indicators of alcohol misuse, and links to disciplinary procedures, while encouraging early disclosure, support, treatment and, where possible, a managed return to work.

Drugs Policy

A detailed drugs and substance misuse policy covering legal duties, prohibition of illegal and non-prescription controlled drugs at work, signs of misuse, searches and gross misconduct. It balances strong safety controls with fair, confidential support and rehabilitation options for employees with drug-related problems.

Lone Worker Policy

A practical lone working policy that defines lone workers, references risk assessment duties and sets out procedures, controls and communication requirements for staff working alone, off-site or out of hours. It supports safer working practices and provides evidence of risk management.

Mental Health and Stress Policy

This mental health and stress policy template frames mental health and work-related stress as core health and safety issues. It explains legal duties, common causes and signs of stress, and sets principles for risk assessment, supportive management, sickness absence handling and confidential access to help.

Menopause Policy

A dedicated menopause policy that defines menopause and perimenopause, lists common symptoms and sets expectations for open conversations, support and reasonable adjustments (e.g. temperature control, flexible working, workload review). It promotes inclusion, retention and legal compliance where symptoms amount to a disability.

Used together, these templates form an integrated wellbeing framework setting clear rules and fostering legal compliance. They help employers and managers apply consistent practices covering smoking, alcohol and drugs and also extending to mental health and menopause supporting a safer, more inclusive workplace culture.
