Hire someone qualified to do the job OR research the relevant areas you work with and design it yourself.
Don't forget to include things like eating/drinking in designated areas, no smoking policy, work while under the influence of drugs/alcohol as well as the other obvious issues in the workplace.
Usually you have to draw up your own H&S policy. Look through other companies to get an idea but remember to be thorough in case of a compliance audit. They will be making sure that you follow what you have draen up and that what you have drawn up is sufficient in the first place.
I did our company policy from this web site. http://www.hse.gov.uk/
There is everything you need to know. We have since had a H&S inspector visit and he said it was all legal and above board.
