Yes — if your golf club employs five or more people, you are legally required to have a written Health and Safety Policy and ensure employees are aware of it.

Displaying the policy within offices, staff rooms or other accessible workplace areas is a common and practical way of helping staff easily access important health and safety information. It can also help demonstrate that the club is actively communicating its health and safety arrangements to employees, contractors and visitors where appropriate.

In golf club environments, policies are often displayed in management offices, greenkeeping facilities, workshops, maintenance areas or staff noticeboards depending on the size and layout of the premises.

The policy should be kept up to date and reviewed whenever there are significant changes to staffing, operations, premises or working practices. Staff should also be informed of any important updates or changes relevant to their roles and responsibilities.
