Safe work practices, answered
What is a safe work practice?
A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment: the hazards, the precautions, who is responsible and what training is needed. Crews read it before the work starts, and clients and auditors ask to see it.
Are these written for my province?
Safe work practices describe how a task is done safely, so they are not tied to one province. Use them alongside your provincial safety program and adjust any step to match your equipment and site rules.
What format are they?
Editable Microsoft Word documents, 1 to 12 pages each. Replace the company placeholder with your company name and they are ready to use.
Do your safety manuals include safe work practices?
Yes. Every safety manual includes the safe work practices for its trade, between 10 and 74 depending on the edition, along with the rest of the written program, fillable forms, an Implementation Kit and 52 toolbox talks. Buy single practices here when you only need a few.
