1. The manual

A complete written program, not a starter kit

An editable Microsoft Word manual written for one province or territory and one trade, organised into sections that follow the elements of a typical Canadian health and safety program. Our best-selling editions run 294 to 344 pages and 71,602 to 84,588 words.

Committee terms of reference

Written for your tradeThe safe work practices change by trade: the Alberta construction edition carries 39, from Aerial Lifts to Working From Home. Every product page lists every practice in its manual.

Legislation referencedOur Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan editions cite the provincial OHS act and regulation or code by part and section; the Ontario construction edition is built around the OHSA and O. Reg. 213/91. Each product page states the legislation its manual covers.

2. Forms

The forms your crew fills in every day

Fillable PDF forms in their own folder: field level hazard assessments, inspections, incident investigation, orientation checklists and more. Our best-selling editions include 35 to 45 forms. Type into the fields, then print or save.

Field level hazard assessment (FLHA), fillable PDF form
Worksite inspection, fillable PDF form
Incident investigation report, fillable PDF form
Safety orientation checklist, fillable PDF form

3. The Implementation Kit

Eight tools to put the program to work, free with every manual

A manual on a shelf protects nobody. The kit walks you from download to a program your crew actually runs, with the sign-offs and records to show for it.

01Quick-Start GuideTwo pages that take you from download to a working program in five steps: personalise, review, sign, roll out and keep records, with a checklist that shows when you are done.
0230/60/90-Day Implementation ChecklistA tick-box plan for your first three months: set up and commit, start the routines, then test and improve, with who does what, the evidence to keep and a sign-off for each phase.
03Policy Sign-Off SheetsManagement adoption and worker acknowledgement sheets for 23 core policies matched to the manual, 17 optional sheets and a summary log, so every signature is on file.
0412-Month Safety CalendarYour safety year planned out: recurring routines, drills, reviews and equipment checks month by month, a reusable month page and the annual program review checklist.
05Audit-Readiness Self-CheckScore your program Yes, Partly or No across seven elements, see the evidence to have on file, then turn the gaps into an action plan before a client or auditor asks.
06Workplace PostersReady-to-post text for four workplace posters: Health and Safety Policy, Emergency Contacts, Right to Refuse Unsafe Work and Working Alone Check-In.
07Worker Orientation Checklist and 30-Day Check-InA six-part orientation checklist with worker initials and sign-off, plus a 30-day check-in guide so new workers are followed up, not forgotten.
08Record-Keeping GuideWhat to keep, for how long and where: records by type with suggested minimum retention, a folder structure, file naming and a monthly records check.

4. Toolbox talks

Questions

Setup questions

What file types do I get?

The manual is a Microsoft Word .docx you can edit freely. The forms are fillable PDFs you type into, print or save. The Implementation Kit and toolbox talks are ready-to-print documents. Everything comes in one .zip file.

Do I need special software?

Microsoft Word (desktop) for the manual, so the table of contents and headers work as designed, and any PDF reader that fills forms, such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

What happens when Word asks to update fields?

Click Yes. When you open a file from the brand-it step, Word asks whether to update the fields in the document. Yes refreshes the table of contents so every page number matches your branded file.

Can I re-download my files later?

Yes. Sign in with your email (we send you a sign-in link, no password) and every file you have bought is there, as often as you need it.

How does the Implementation Kit help me get audit-ready?

The Audit-Readiness Self-Check scores your program across seven elements and lists the evidence to keep on file, so you find and close the gaps before anyone else does. The 30/60/90-day checklist and sign-off sheets build that evidence as you roll the program out.
