Share this

The construction sector is one of the most dangerous industries to work in. The rate of workplace injury and serious or even fatal injury are higher in the construction sector than any other industry in the UK. 

As a result, premiums can be high for businesses operating in this sector. However, a significant difference to the cost of construction insurance will be how you can demonstrate the seriousness with which your construction business treats health and safety. 

Carrying out and documenting risk assessments, thorough staff training and ensuring you provide the proper equipment for your team will all help improve safety. A foundational ste in documenting your health and safety practices is to provide employees with an Employee Safety Manual which clearly sets out the provisions you have made for safety in the workplace. 

To assist you, our construction insurance experts have put together a sample document which you can review and edit to improve your health and safety strategy.

This employee safety manual is just a SAMPLE and needs to be edited and adapted. It is not exhaustive, nor is it a bespoke safety manual for your specific company. If you are planning to create, edit or adapt an employee safety manual, seek assistance from a recognised health and safety expert and/or the Health and Safety Executive.
