doi:10.5771/9781461720867

Summary

Having written safety and health policies isn't enough. These plans and procedures have to be effectively communicated to the employees expected to follow them or you may be violating OSHA standards. This manual prevents written plans, policies, and procedures you can use, modify, and reproduce for distribution to your employees or keep them in binders where employees can easily refer to them. You can also use the manual as a training tool or as the basis for establishing new safety and health programs or updating existing ones.
