I have recently been promoted in a cash * carry warehouse environment. Although I have worked here for 10 years and have implemented all Safety legislation , i now have to sit down and write them. Current safety policy is one page.This is a task I have never done before. Procedures must also be written for every other activity in the company. Could anyone possibly help me. Procedures must be written to iso standard.
Samples welcome
Thanking you in advance.

We are talking about a full health and safety management system here. I don’t think anyone here would be help you on this massive project, you need to get professional help. But one thing which confuses me is the fact that you have implemented ‘all’ safety legislations for last 10 years, how did you manage that without any policies and procedures.
If you belong to a small company, the following link will put you at a starting point;

Could it be the employer is skipping away from appointing a person who is competent in providing health & safety advice?
No sniping at your ability intended... just that you may sound a little out of your depth regarding implementing policies & procedures!

Change in senior management. Previous refused to write anything down. A sample of how a procedure should be written is all i require.

Colm, how about having a look at an operating handbook for a piece of equipment you have at your works.
These days, these things are pretty idiotproof and good examples of breaking down a task into its constituent parts.
Next up you need to think about what procedures you need. Incident reporting and risk assessmeent are pretty essential from an H&S management point-of-view.

Hi Colm,
I recommend an HSE book: HSG 76 Warehousing and Storage (about £10 or so from WH Smith or The Stationery Office). It is a good general / introductory H&S book as well as being specific for warehousing & storage.
Regards
Pat
