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.
