Clients will be aware that when the number of employees exceeds four (i.e. five or more) then there is a legal requirement to have a written Health and Safety policy.

We receive a number of queries concerning this matter since in a number of service and repair organisations the business owner/partner is also an employee. However they are often ignored when doing the basic sum. In such situations the partner/owner is to be classed as an employee for the purposes of requiring a written policy.
