A good employee safety manual is a vital part of any business. Here are a few tips on how to put one together.
Gather Your Information
Getting together all of the information you will need to include in your safety manual will take varying amounts of effort depending on the scope of your business. If your company already has in existence a basic list of processes and procedures relating to safety, you should compile copies all of these documents as best you can (you will save yourself a lot of time and effort if you can find them in digital form). Make sure to include the following: basic fist aid and other injury-related procedures, the manufacturer’s guides to the safe use of whatever office or warehouse machines your employees utilize on a daily basis, haz-mat disposal (if necessary), and whatever safety information you can compile that relates to your specific industry.
Organize Into Sections.
Some of the sections that you will want to be sure and include are procedures to follow in case of accidents involving employees, proper disposal of all of the different sorts of waste that your business creates, what to do in the case any of you commonly used equipment malfunctions, and perhaps even a section that details what disciplinary procedures will be if safety protocol is not followed.
You will also want to include all the necessary forms for reporting accidents and violations of safety procedures, as well as training information with regards to safety.
If your company has an emergency response plan for events such as earthquakes and the like, you will, of course want to include this in your safety manual. If there is not a plan in existence, you’ll want to create one yourself. Look around online for examples of what proper safety are for natural disasters that are likely to occur in your geographical region (meaning, of course, that you shouldn’t spend a lot of time on a hurricane emergency plan if your company is located in Montana).
While compiling your emergency manual, you will want to visit OSHA’s website, specifically in the resource section in order to ascertain whether there are any areas specific to your industry that must by law be covered in your safety manual.
It is absolutely vital that, at the end of your safety manual, you include a form which each employee signs to acknowledge that he or she has read the manual and agrees to abide by it. This not only increases employee engagement, it is also vital for providing some sort of protection from future litigation. Make sure that you have a lawyer go over your manual to ensure that all the bases are covered, as the contents could conceivably be used in a civil trial in case of injury.
Binding Your Manual
There are a lot of ways to go about this, but the best choice might be to go with a 3-ring binder. That way, any changes or updates can be easily made. Tabs and dividers can be used so your employees can quickly and easily fond whatever section they need to. It is also a good idea to have your safety manual online and possibly in the form of a downloadable PDF.

Concise Encyclopedia of System Safety: Definition of Terms and Concepts $79.99 Many system safety standards inadequately define safety terms and sometimes define them incorrectly. System Safety: Definition of Terms and Concepts is explicitly devoted to defining system safety terms and concepts as a convenient desk reference manual and helps the safety professional find their way through the current jungle of terms and definitions used in books, guidelines, standards and even laws. This handy sized reference provides the definition of many safety terms rather than having to search through a slew of different manuals and documents looking for the exact definition. This book also initiates an effort to adopt a single common and correct definition for all safety-related terms by providing clear and current definitions for safety-related terms. |
