Custom-Written Workplace Safety Programs

A written safety program is a custom set of documents (usually in a booklet form), that holds a company’s safety policies, procedures, checklists, and training documentation, and cites applicable OSHA standards. Not only does OSHA require companies to have written programs, but oftentimes contractors require them to be submitted as part of the pre-qualification process. In the event of an incident or inspection, it’s vital to have the documentation as a reference.  Safety and health training is built from the information in the written programs.
