3.4.7
Developing a Safety Manual You must develop a Safety Manual that outlines the policies and procedures you have established for your business and complies with the laws of your state and city. A sample safety manual that you can adapt for use in your business is included. The manual must be modified before using it. This is not legal advice and does not claim to conform to government regulations applicable to your business. You must consult with your own legal counsel and develop documents appropriate to your business, your state, and your city. Where applicable, all instructions and recommendations in this sample safety manual meet or exceed the requirements of the federal Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) as well as the safety standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Where these requirements and standards are not directly applicable, all instructions and recommendations are consistent with good safety practices as applied to the residential cleaning industry.
