What is the General Safety Precautions safe work practice?
Hazard assessment is the base of every safety program. It identifies the hazards of each task, rates the risk and puts controls in place in the right order: eliminate, engineer, administer, then protect.
A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment. This one is written for general safety precautions and is ready for your company name, so crews, supervisors and clients all read the same rules.
Who needs it: Every contractor. Most clients ask for this program first.
