Because it’s right and because it’s the law – develop a written safety
plan for your workers to follow. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN OSHA COMPLIANCE
MANUAL IN ALL MANDATED AREAS, IT COULD COST YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FINES!
Hold weekly tailgate safety meetings with all employees, take roll, and
keep records of topics discussed.
Your Association can help you, so call
them first (see
step #14).
They may have professional safety programs and/or consultants to assist
you.
- For example, you can get
professional help from
www.oshaman.com
or other safety consultants in your area like San Diego-based Quantum
Risk Management at
www.qrmonline.com. You can purchase OSHA-compliant Construction Field Manuals for as
little as $100 to get you started. Then you can modify and tailor the
Plan as you grow.
