Hi
I am HS advisor for large UK based international financial organisation, I have had high level policy in place for many years primarily with Statement of Intent and Organisation/roles and responsibilities sectuion. This is then supported by further HS information/procedures on our internal website.

This has been well accepted and audited by external agencies and fit for purpose.

Policy reviewer with limited knowledge of HS now critisising this and attempting to include all sorts of low level, even down to mentioning stairwell handrail measurements and 16 degree temperature, etc information and this is being accepted as "well it is what he wants".

I am holding my position though it is a bit hard going.

Is there anyone out there in similar organisations who could/would be willing to provide me with copy of their high level HS policy so I can show this to my bosses, hopefully they wil be similar to my existing otherwise will have to rethink 18 years experience.

Comments welcomed but expect they will be similar to my thoughts/frustrations over recent weeks

Is the person reviewing the policy competent to review it?
