HVAC safety manual: what it should contain
An HVAC safety manual is the written health and safety program for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration work. It has to cover the hazards of the trade (ladders and roofs, lockout of electrical and mechanical equipment, hot work and brazing, refrigerants and pressurised systems, confined spaces, lifting and power tools) with safe work practices, inspections, emergency response and the forms to record it. Our HVAC manual is written for each of 9 provinces and territories, carries 56 safe work practices, costs $499 CAD and downloads instantly.

The hazards an HVAC manual has to control
- Working at heights: ladders, rooftop units, fall protection and openings.
- Hazardous energy: lockout of electrical supply, gas, pressure and moving parts before service.
- Hot work: brazing and soldering, fire watch and permits.
- Refrigerants, compressed gases and pressurised systems.
- Confined spaces such as crawl spaces, plenums and mechanical rooms.
- Manual lifting and hoisting of equipment, power tools, and work in occupied buildings.
56 safe work practices, already written
Each HVAC manual includes 56 safe work practices written for the trade. Bought one at a time at $9 each, that alone would cost more than the whole manual.
The manual also ships with the Plumbing, Heating and HVAC toolbox talk pack: a talk for every week of the year.
Everything included
- The written program in Microsoft Word, organised into 12 sections that follow the elements of a typical Canadian health and safety program.
- Safe work practices for your trade, already written (each one would be $9 on its own).
- Fillable PDF forms for the records the program calls for: hazard assessments, inspections, incident reports, meeting minutes and more.
- The Implementation Kit (8 tools), including a quick-start guide, a 30/60/90-day checklist, sign-off sheets and a 12-month safety calendar.
- 52 toolbox talks for your trade, one for every week of the year.
- A free brand-it step: add your company name and logo and download a personalised Word file.
