What is the difference between your Template A and Template B OSHA manual templates? Template A is more for small businesses, in any industry exception for construction, looking to get a basic foundation in place and then build upon this foundation as their company grows. Remember, it is better to have something in place rather than nothing when it comes to OSHA LAW in the United States. Template B is more for small to mid-size businesses and is much more elaborate than the Template A program. Template B also has construction focused elements included. The following table outlines the content difference between both Template A and Template B safety manual templates we offer across the United States: Is it more cost effective for me to purchase a safety program template rather than a custom safety program?
Yes, our safety program templates are priced much lower than our custom programs but do differ in content. Our safety manual templates are a basic foundation which include the minimum OSHA requirements for all businesses in the United States. However, these templates have been developed and made cost effective for small businesses and made available as a basic foundation for your business to start from. Eventually you will have to build on the templates to make the manual more specific to your businesses activities. Remember, it is better to have something in place rather than nothing when it comes to OSHA LAW. Having nothing in place will most likely result in your business receiving fines, penalties, citations or stop work orders if OSHA inspector / officer inspects your workplace. Custom program pricing can range from $2000.00 to $3000.00 depending upon your industry and the size of your business. Our custom programs are much more elaborate in content and are developed specific to your company's activities. I have a very small company. Do I really need a safety plan? According to OSHA regulations and standards, and in some cases specific state OSH regulations, all businesses in the USA must have a written injury and illness prevention program in place. It's the LAW and OSHA mandates that all businesses, regardless of their size or industry, must have a written safety manual in place specific to their operations. According to OSHA, if your safety manual or plan is not in writing and properly implemented - your company is in violation of the regulations. Failure to not have a safety and health program at your workplace may result in hefty fines, penalties, citations or stop work orders from local OSHA compliance officers. These OSHA compliance officers can show up at your business door steps at anytime and without any warning. So our best advice to you is, be prepared and be compliant with the law - in case a government OSHA officer does decide to inspect your workplace. Are your safety plan templates compliant with OSHA and State Regulations across the US? Yes, absolutely. Our safety and health manual templates for each state have been developed by our team of certified professional OSH Consultants with a combined experience of over 60 years in the field of occupational safety and health. Each template has been prepared to meet with nation wide OSHA regulations and state specific OSH regulations.
