Create Your Safety Manual

A clear, practical and WorkSafeBC/WCB-aligned safety manual built specifically for your business, your industry and your workers — not a generic template.

Why Your Business Needs a Proper Safety Manual

A safety manual is the backbone of your entire health and safety program. It sets expectations, defines responsibilities and outlines how work must be done to keep people safe.

The problem is most small and medium-sized businesses:

  • Don’t have time to build one

  • Don’t know what WorkSafeBC or Alberta OHS actually requires

  • Borrow generic templates that don’t match their real work

  • Don’t update their manual as the company grows

  • Leave supervisors guessing instead of giving them clarity

A poor safety manual leads to:

  • Confusion

  • Inconsistent practices

  • Higher injury risks

  • WCB/WorkSafeBC issues

  • Worker misunderstandings

  • Increased liability

That’s why I create manuals that are simple, specific and built for real workers doing real work.

What’s Included When I Build Your Safety Manual

Your manual is custom-built based on your:

  • Industry

  • Hazards

  • Work locations

  • Equipment

  • Tasks

  • Workforce

  • Employer responsibilities

  • Regulatory requirements

A standard manual includes:

✔ Policies and Responsibilities

Clear expectations for owners, supervisors, workers and contractors.

✔ Safe Work Practices (SWPs)

High-level guidelines that define how work is expected to be done safely.

✔ Safe Job Procedures (SJPs)

Step-by-step instructions for your high-risk tasks.

✔ Hazard Identification

A full breakdown of the hazards in your industry and recommended controls.

✔ Risk Assessments

Prioritizing hazards and identifying where your biggest exposures are.

✔ Required Forms and Templates

Everything you need for reporting, inspections, training and documentation.

✔ Training Requirements

What your workers legally must be trained in — and what’s recommended.

✔ Regulatory Alignment

BC: WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation
Alberta: OHS Act, Regulation and Code

✔ COR / ISO Alignment (if needed)

Designed to meet audit expectations right from day one.

✔ Your Branding

Your logo, your company information and your structure.
