What is included with my Template upon purchase?
Each safety program template we offer has been developed in accordance with each provincial health and safety regulations across Canada. So for example, if you purchase the BC safety manual template then that template has been designed to meet with BC occupational health and safety regulations. If you purchase the Alberta safety manual template then that template has been designed to meet with Alberta occupational health and safety regulations, and so on for each particular province. You will receive your safety program template in MS WORD .doc format; which means you can make edits, changes or additions to your program at anytime. You will receive customization instructions in PDF format which will clearly outline how to insert your company logo to each page, how to change your title page picture and how to insert your company name into the entire document in just a few clicks of a button (YOU DO NOT NEED TO MANUALLY INSERT YOUR COMPANY NAME PAGE BY PAGE) - our instructions will outline how to do this for the entire document; very quickly. What is the difference between General Industry Template I, General Industry Template II and the Construction Industry Template? Template I is more for small businesses, in any industry except for construction, who are looking to get a basic foundation in place and then build upon this foundation as their company grows. Remember, it is better to have something in place rather than nothing when it comes to OHS LAW in Canada. Template II is more for mid-size businesses and is much more elaborate than the Template I program, and can be used for any industry except for construction . The Construction Industry Template is developed specifically for businesses servicing the construction industry.

I am a small business in Canada with less than 10 employees. Do I really need a written health and safety program manual for my business? Every business in Canada is required by legislated LAW to have a written occupational health and safety manual in place. All businesses in every province across Canada, are required by provincial occupational health and safety regulations & legislation to ensure an effective OHS safety program is developed and implemented for their employees. The first step towards developing an occupational health and safety program for your small business in Canada is to develop a written health and safety manual which includes the proper safety procedures and policies pertaining to your business and in compliance with the provincial health and safety regulations. This manual will be the foundation of your overall health and safety program in the form of written policies and procedures; along with usable forms to ensure your company's due diligence. Failure to comply with provincial OHS safety regulations in Canada, can result in very expensive and hefty fines, penalties, sanctions and stop work orders by local government safety officers. Don't let this happen to your company. Our health and safety programs and manuals have been hand crafted by certified and professional health and safety consultants with a combined experience of over 60 years.
