DISCLAIMER

This sample safety program is intended solely as a

guide and template for employer reference and
use. This sample program is not intended to be
implemented as is, nor is it intended to comply with
any federal, state, or local regulation or
statute. Rather, the sample program is meant to
assist each employer in developing its own written
safety program based upon its specific needs and
requirements. An employer should review the OSHA
standards for specific requirements applicable to its
operations and make adjustments to this sample
program based upon those requirements. An
employer will need to modify the sample safety
program by adding information relevant to its
particular jobsites or facilities in order to develop an
effective, comprehensive program. The failure of an
employer to develop its own written safety program
designed for its own operations may result in a
violation of OSHA standards.
