Household Health and Safety and Insurance Checklist for Domestic Employers
About this document
Domestic servants in a private household are excluded from most of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, but employers still owe a common law duty of care to keep their staff reasonably safe. A short safety review, good equipment and the right insurance protect staff, children and the family.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
