Welfare policy

Having proper toilet, washing, rest and other welfare facilities is a legal requirement. You can detail your arrangements using our welfare policy template.

What’s covered?

Our Welfare Policy is designed to cover the basic legal requirements for welfare facilities which apply to the majority of workplaces. It starts with a general statement and then goes on to cover:

• the legal position
• toilets and washing facilities
• drinking water
• facilities to rest and eat food
• changing facilities and storage for clothing
• facilities for new and expectant mothers
• condition and accessibility of facilities
• working away from base location.

You should work through each section filling in the blanks and following the detailed guidance provided.
