Sample Programs

Your overall occupational safety and health management system or safety program will include small "p" programs that address specific hazards, as required by OSHA.

Once you identify the hazards of your workplace and the OSHA regulations that apply, you will know what programs you need.

You can download sample programs from this website for some of the most commonly needed programs. Adapt them to your organization --- make them work for you. SafetyWorks! can answer your questions and even come to your workplace to help you develop your programs.

Control of Hazardous Energy Sources (Lockout/Tagout) - Workplaces where employees do maintenance or repair work need a written Lockout/Tagout program to protect against unexpected startup of equipment.

Hazard Communication - Any workplace that has hazardous materials must have a written Hazard Communication program. Because most chemical products, even cleaning products, are consider hazardous, most workplaces need a Hazard Communication program.

Emergency Action Plans - Workplaces must have an emergency action plan to ensure employee safety in case of emergency. Companies with 10 or more employees must have this plan in writing.

Chemical Hygiene Plan for Maine Schools Non-production laboratories where small scale chemical experiments are conducted must have a chemical hygiene plan, under OSHA's Laboratory Standard (29 CFR 1910.1450). This sample plan is for secondary schools.

Respiratory Protection Program This sample plan concerns respirator use in general industry and construction workplaces as regulated in 29 CFR §1910.134
