View these documents at https://policies.ehlab.uk/

Structure:

• Health and Safety: policies that follow from the company's legal responsibilies for health and safety.
• Organisation: policies that we have voluntarily created as a group.
• Activities: additional rules or guidance for specific activities.

Style guide:

• This document is intended to be read by ordinary users of the Hacklab.
• Use plain English.
• Keep it simple.
• Policies should be proportional and realistic, or they will be ignored.
• Don't spend time describing legal frameworks. If extra information is relevant to the directors, document it elsewhere and link to it in footnotes.

Change policy:

• There is no formal approval policy at this time.
• Any documentation is better than no documentation.
• At some point, the directors may freeze an approved version and we will start using pull requests.
