WRITTEN SAFETY &
HEALTH PROGRAMS

Tailored to your operations. Built for compliance.

WHAT ARE WRITTEN SAFETY &
HEALTH PROGRAMS?

A written safety program is a customized set of documents, usually in a binder format, that outlines your company’s safety policies, procedures, checklists, and training records. It addresses your specific workplace hazards and aligns with OSHA standards.

  • Ensure compliance with OSHA regulations that are required for most businesses.
  • Serve as a foundation for training by providing the content structure for safety instruction.
  • Support a strong safety culture by defining clear expectations and procedures.
  • Help meet contractor pre-qualification requirements, often requested during bidding.
  • Provide essential documentation that is critical during inspections or after incidents.

How to Create Written Safety & Health Programs

We have perfected our simple 5-Step Written Program Process by working with thousands of clients. This is NOT a fill-in-the-blank template or paint-by-number approach to employee safety.

Our highly trained safety professionals conduct extensive research to sketch your unique Safety Fingerprint to identify and address applicable OSHA compliant programs for your company.

Pro Tip! Take safety beyond the standard! At a minimum, written programs contain information for OSHA compliance. A world class written safety and health program will have an added layer of helpful tools and additional resources to aid in implementing the identified policies and procedures in your company’s workplace.
