The following Health and Safety Policies have also been updated in accordance with current best practice:

• Courier/Distribution Business Health and Safety Policy 
• Workshop/Factory Health and Safety Policy
• Plumbing and Heating Engineer Health and Safety Policy
• Residential Nursing Home or Care Home Health and Safety Policy

Updates in the above documents include more information on Directors’/Partners’ duties and the identity of the appointed Competent Person.

Whilst earlier versions can still be used it would be best practice to use the updated versions when next completing a policy review.
