Written safety programs that are current, approved, acknowledged, and the ones your work calls for.

Start with which programs apply

Most employers do not know which written programs they are missing until someone asks for one. EmployerSafety starts with a company profile: a short set of yes or no questions about hazards and activities. Do you use chemicals with safety data sheets. Do your people work at height. Do you enter confined spaces. Do you have forklifts. From the answers, the gap analysis lists the written programs the profile calls for, marks which you have active, and shows what is missing.

The catalog covers the programs that come up for construction and general industry: safety and health program, hazard communication, lockout and tagout, PPE hazard assessment, emergency action plan, fire prevention, fall protection, excavation, confined space, ladders, scaffolds, powered industrial trucks, crane and rigging, hot work, hearing conservation, respiratory protection, silica, electrical safety and bloodborne pathogens, among others.

Draft from a template, in your company’s name

Templates are included for the most common programs, among them the safety and health program, hazard communication, lockout and tagout, PPE hazard assessment, emergency action plan, fire prevention plan, fall protection plan, excavation safety, confined space, ladder safety and new-hire orientation. Each is written with the company name, the program owner and the review cadence filled in from your profile, and each ends with the sources it is drawn from. The draft is yours to edit. A template that is activated unread is a liability, and the product does not pretend otherwise.

Review, approve, activate, supersede

A document moves from draft to under review to approved to active, and a reviewer can send it back with a note at any step. Activating a new version of a program marks the previous active version superseded, so there is one current version and a history behind it. Every version is kept. The next review date is set on the document and surfaces in the digest when it approaches, alongside overdue training and expiring certifications.

Employees acknowledge the active version

Employees see the active programs that apply to them when they sign in and acknowledge each one. The acknowledgement is tied to the version, so a revised program asks for a fresh acknowledgement, and the document page shows the administrator how many members with a login have acknowledged the current version and who is outstanding. The training tracking page covers the rest of what the digest reports.

Programs you already have come in as drafts

Existing programs on paper or in a PDF come in through the import. Upload the file, the text is read page by page, the program is recognized where it can be, and the result lands as a draft with the title and program type proposed for a reviewer to confirm. Scanned pages are transcribed; pages that already carry text cost nothing to read. Nothing becomes active without going through the same review and approval as a new draft.

The assistant cites your active programs

When an employee asks the assistant what the company requires before entering a tank, the answer cites your active confined space program alongside the regulation it rests on. Only active documents are cited, so a draft can never be quoted to a worker as policy. The sources page lists the official text the assistant can cite.
