What is a Safety Manual?

A safety manual is fundamental to a safety program by providing a collection of information, instructions, policies, and procedures intended to ensure the safe operations of companies that perform hazardous work. An effective safety manual empowers all levels of employees within a company to foster a safe work environment. It educates supervisors and workers, providing them with the tools to help complete their jobs safely.

Why Does My Business Need A Safety Program?

It’s an employer’s obligation to ensure employee safety. Because it’s not possible to supervise employees at all times, it’s important to develop standards and formalize them as policies and procedures to be executed by the safety program. An effective safety program helps prevent fatalities, injuries, illnesses, property or equipment damage, and harm to the environment.

Who Benefits From a Safety Program?

All levels of leadership and employees benefit from a clear, concise and comprehensive safety manual.

  • Management uses the safety program as an essential training tool, allowing them to communicate the intent and execution of health and safety policies and procedures to the company.
  • Supervisors use the safety program to ensure the workers they are supervising are performing work as per the policies and procedures.
  • Workers use the safety program to know how to execute work safely at the field level.
