Who it is for

If your work calls for only a few topics, the packs on their own may cost less.

One layout, every document

Every document has the same sections and the same law table of all 14 jurisdictions, so your workers know where to look in any of them. Procedures name the practices they carry out, across packs as well as within them.

After you pay, you download each pack’s .zip on your confirmation page or in Find my downloads. Each holds the pack’s Word files and a Read me first index.

What you save

Bought separately, the 18 packs cost $1,259.10, $69.95 each. The library is $399.95, a saving of $859.15.

The library is already discounted, so the multi-template discount doesn’t apply to an order with it in it. When any of its documents gets a new edition, we email you the new pack, free.

Lifetime updates

When the law changes, we publish a new edition of the template it affects and email everyone who bought it, on its own or in the bundle. Every update is free, for as long as we publish it.

Questions

What is in the library?

All 18 topic packs: general site rules and PPE, working at heights, hazardous energy and lockout, confined spaces and atmospheres, hot work and fire, electrical, mobile equipment and vehicles, cranes, rigging and hoisting, excavation and ground disturbance, tools, shop and maintenance, chemical and health hazards, weather, environment and wildlife, working alone, travel and wellbeing, oil and gas field and plant work, industrial cleaning, water jetting and vacuum, utilities, towers and renewables, roadside and traffic control and camps, kitchens and building services. That is 216 documents, 157 safe work practices and 59 safe job procedures, each an editable Word file, delivered as one .zip per pack with a Read me first index.

What is the difference between a safe work practice and a safe job procedure?

A safe work practice sets out the rules for a kind of work: what we do, the equipment and protection it takes, and who may do it. A safe job procedure gives the steps for one task, in order, stage by stage, and names the practice it carries out. Practices are numbered SWP and procedures SJP.

Which province’s law are they written to?

All of them. Each document is written once for all of Canada and sets out, under “Where the law sets more”, what the law requires in every province and territory and in federally regulated workplaces, with the regulation and section where they were confirmed in the official text. Where the law where you work, your client or the owner sets a stricter rule than the document, the stricter rule applies, and the document says so.

When is it on sale?

Once every pack is written and approved. Packs go on sale one at a time as they are finished, at $69.95 each, so you can start with the topics you need now. Use the form on this page for one email the day the library is ready.

Is this legal advice? Will it make us compliant?

No. They are templates, not legal advice: complete documents written with the law of every jurisdiction set out, as a starting point. A practice or procedure works once a competent person has fitted it to your work and your workers are trained on it and follow it, so no template can promise compliance.

How do updates work for the library?

When any document gets a new edition, we email you its pack’s new download, free, as part of your lifetime updates.

Can I use it for more than one company?

Each purchase is licensed to one company. Consultants setting up programs for several clients should contact us.

Want them fitted to your work?

Our safety advisors can tailor practices and procedures to your equipment, your clients’ rules and the provinces you work in, and build the rest of your safety program around them.
