Every workplace has different hazards, equipment, work activities, and safety requirements. A safety manual designed for one type of business may not adequately address the risks found in another.
Our industry safety manuals are designed around the types of hazards, operations, equipment, and safety programs commonly associated with each industry. These industry-specific safety manuals can be customized for contractors, manufacturers, healthcare organizations, laboratories, transportation companies, commercial businesses, and other workplaces.
Construction & Contractors
Construction companies and specialty contractors face changing worksites, equipment, subcontractors, and high-hazard activities. Construction safety manuals may address fall protection, scaffolding, excavation, electrical safety, heavy equipment, cranes and rigging, silica exposure, PPE, hazard communication, ladders, tools, traffic control, and other programs applicable to the work performed.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Manufacturing and industrial facilities may involve machinery, hazardous energy, chemicals, material handling equipment, production processes, maintenance, noise, welding, confined spaces, and other workplace hazards. Industry-specific safety manuals help organize the safety programs and procedures that apply to the facility’s operations, equipment, employees, and workplace risks.
Healthcare & Medical
Healthcare organizations face hazards including bloodborne pathogens, infectious diseases, hazardous chemicals and drugs, patient handling, workplace violence, medical gases, radiation, sharps, and other occupational risks. Healthcare safety manuals can be customized for hospitals, medical offices, dental practices, nursing facilities, home healthcare providers, and other healthcare organizations.
Laboratory Industry & Research
Laboratories can present chemical, biological, physical, equipment, radiation, compressed-gas, cryogenic, and other specialized hazards. Laboratory safety manuals can address Chemical Hygiene Plans, chemical safety, PPE, fume hood safety, emergency procedures, biological safety, hazardous materials, training, inspections, and other applicable programs.
Transportation & Mobile Operations
Transportation companies and mobile workforces face hazards related to driving, vehicles, loading and unloading, cargo handling, roadside work, equipment, maintenance, fatigue, material handling, and changing work locations. Safety manuals can be developed around the vehicles, employees, equipment, work activities, and mobile operations specific to the company.
Commercial & Service Businesses
Commercial and service businesses have safety needs that vary by their services, facilities, equipment, chemicals, vehicles, customer interactions, and employee activities. Safety manuals can be customized for hotels, restaurants, automotive businesses, cleaning companies, landscaping, pest control, property management, retail businesses, and other service industries.
Other Industries
Don’t see your industry listed above? Safety manuals can be customized for businesses and organizations whose operations do not fit neatly into one of these categories. The applicable safety programs should be selected based on the company’s actual work activities, equipment, workplace hazards, employee exposures, and applicable requirements.
Customized Safety Manuals for Your Operations
An industry provides a useful starting point, but two companies in the same industry may have very different safety needs. The equipment used, services performed, chemicals handled, employee exposures, work locations, and customer or contractor requirements can all affect which safety programs should be included.
Our customized safety manuals are assembled around the programs that apply to your operations rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all collection of generic policies.
