What countries do you provide health and safety manuals for? OHS Safety Manuals provides professionally developed workplace health and safety manuals and documentation for businesses in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Our downloadable safety-manual products are digitally delivered, eliminating international shipping and allowing businesses to access their purchased documentation electronically. Does my safety manual template need to be updated every year? No. Your health and safety manual will only need to be updated if there has been a major ohs regulation change in your country - for a particular topic. Regulation changes do not happen as often as you may think. You may not see any major regulation changes for many-many years (10+ years). However, if for any reason there is a major regulation change in your country - and one of your manual policies will require an edit - our team will email you many months ahead to give you a heads up! We will send you the new regulation requirements and editing your manual will only take a few minutes. What happens to my safety manual in 2028? Will I need to repurchase a new manual? No. There are no recurring fees or expiration dates. You are purchasing an unlocked, fully customizable Microsoft Word (.docx) file for your company. You can modify dates, tweak safety programs, and update policies internally whenever needed without repurchasing. Do you ship physical safety manuals internationally?
