The programs you own

Each hazard brings its own written program, and each program reaches a different crew, site or shift.

Health and safety policy

The statement of intent and arrangements, signed by leadership and known to everyone.

Emergency action

Evacuation, alarms and roles, reviewed with each person when they start and when the plan changes.

Hazard communication

Labels, safety data sheets and the chemical list, current at every site.

Lockout/tagout

Machine-specific procedures for the people who service the equipment.

Contractor safety

The rules contractors and visitors follow on your sites, acknowledged before they start.

Site and seasonal plans

Heat, cold, confined spaces and site-specific plans, each sent to the crews who need them.

Who asks to see them

Wherever you operate, inspectors, auditors and insurers ask the same question: is the written program current, and does every worker know it.

29 CFR 1910.38, 1910.147, 1910.1200

OSHA written programs

Emergency action, lockout/tagout and hazard communication each call for a written program, and inspectors ask for it first.

  • One program per hazard, sent to the crews it covers
  • Reviews on review dates
  • Training records attached as evidence

ISO 45001, clauses 5.2, 7.4

Occupational health and safety policy

The policy is documented, communicated within the organization and available to interested parties, with communication planned and on record.

  • The policy approved by top management
  • Communicated to every worker it covers
  • Available to contractors as external users

Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, s. 2(3)

Written health and safety policy, UK

Employers with five or more employees write the policy down, and share it, and every change to it, with their employees.

  • The written policy, approved and current
  • Every revision sent to all employees
  • Each acknowledgment by person and version

Wherever people work

Local safety rules

Countries, states and sites add their own rules, from heat plans to language requirements. Each gets its own plan beside the company program.

  • A plan for each site, state or country
  • Sent only to the people who work there
  • Each change goes out again

Bring your own rules

Your region’s laws, the standards your customers ask for, and your own house rules. Write each one as a policy, approve it, and send it to the people it covers.

  • Laws of every country and state you work in
  • Standards and certifications
  • Customer and contract requirements
  • Your own policies and procedures

How it helps a safety team

Built for EHS managers who show program control to inspectors, auditors, clients and insurers, across every site and shift.

The right program to each crew

Maintenance gets lockout/tagout, the warehouse gets hazard communication, everyone gets the emergency plan.

Covered before the first shift

Invite a new hire with their site and role tags, and their programs are waiting.

No seat cost for the floor

Workers and other viewers are unlimited and free. You pay for the people who write.

Every change goes out again

A revised program is approved, then everyone it covers is asked again, automatically.

Evidence kept with the program

Attach training records and inspection certifications to the program they belong to.

Proof on request

Filter the record by date, person or program and export a PDF or CSV.

Each crew gets its own programs

Tag people by site, crew and role. Each program reaches only the people it covers, and new hires get theirs before their first shift.

A record for every worker

Show the inspector who has acknowledged which version, with the time and the statement they agreed to.

Working with the rest of the company

Safety writes the program. Operations approves it, and every crew follows it.

Operations approves first

Add the operations director as the first approval step. The program waits for them.

The people closest to the hazard sign off

Add the maintenance lead or site manager as a second step, before it reaches the floor.

Site managers keep their own plans

Each site’s plan sits under the company program, owned by the people who run the site.

Each department keeps its own

Safety edits safety’s programs. HR, IT and Finance edit theirs, side by side in one place.

Contractors, before they start

Invite contractors as external users to receive and acknowledge your site rules.

Your consultant, inside the process

Bring in your safety consultant as an external user to draft and review.

Ready for whoever asks.

Inspectors, auditors, clients and insurers ask the same thing in different words: the current program and proof each worker received it.

Export the record as a PDF or CSV, or let them open the document directly.

  • Safety inspectorsWritten programs that are current, with proof each worker received them
  • Certification auditorsThe policy, its communication and its review history
  • Clients and prequalificationPrograms approved and acknowledged, ready to upload
  • Your insurerSafety programs approved and current, with proof of who received them

Questions

Do workers need a paid seat?

No. They read, acknowledge and sign as viewers, free of charge.

Acknowledgment or signature?

Both are available. Choose for each policy when you send it. e-sign is an add-on on the Scale plan.

What happens when a policy changes?

The new version is approved, then sent to everyone it applies to, who are asked again.

Can an auditor see a document without an account?

Yes. Add them as a one-time viewer and they open that document with a one-time code.

Does everyone have to acknowledge again every year?

Only when a policy changes or expires. If nothing changed at review, the date moves and no one is asked again.

Can Safety keep its policies separate from other departments?

Yes. Each department edits its own policies, and tags decide who reads them.

What happens to someone’s record when they leave?

Their completed acknowledgments stay on record.
