Playing devil's advocate here but I think the logic, if you can call it that, of producing a written safety policy is so that you can prove that you'd identified hazards and taken reasonable precautions to stop anyone getting hurt from them. Not just employees but the tanker driver, feed reps, contractors, walkers, your great aunt etc, and also yourself.
Don't shoot the messenger, I think it's bo**ocks as well but neither do I think such things will ever go away so in my case I spent a couple of hours writing some very generic stuff, stuck it on a shelf, and now it's one less thing they can send me their lovely little non-conformance notes for (there's plenty of other areas where they still do...)
Its none of Red Tractors feckin' business.
I don't mind producing a H&S policy if the HSE required it but they don't but toytown Red Tractor have no legal power.
And the comment from the NFU guy shows why they are worse than useless as an organisation. It should never be in the RT remit and been thrown out straight away
