Customized Corporate Safety Manuals - [Best Seller]
We will create your company a detailed, user-friendly safety manual with "easy to implement" instructions. This manual will include all the required and recommended safety programs necessary to meet compliance standards of OSHA, DOT, EPA and any other federal, state or local safety agencies. Your Safety Manual will be custom designed to meet the needs of your industry and your workforce. At WS Management Consultants, we feel your company will benefit from a customized program, rather than some mass-produced safety booklet that can be purchased at any national retail safety company.

Furthermore, we can assemble your complete manual (which will include several individual programs) for a fraction of the fee you would pay for these same programs if you purchased them separately. Your manual will include sections such as: Management's commitment to safety, employee indoctrination procedures, inspections and investigations, OSHA inspection procedures, in-house safety personnel responsibilities, training procedures, and a variety of industry-specific topics such as: Hazard Communication Standard, Personal Protective Equipment, Lockout/Tagout Procedures, Back Maintenance and Proper Lifting Procedures, Fire Safety and Protection, and many, many other specific procedures.

Remember, we will CUSTOM DESIGN your Corporate Safety Manual based on your company and industry needs.

Hazard Communication Manual
In addition to a corporate safety manual, many companies assemble a separate HazCom Manual / MSDS Inventory Book for easy access to training records and Material Safety Data Sheets. We feel that this highly-enforced OSHA Standard warrants a complete separate manual. This manual will provide you with a user-friendly Hazcom program which includes a sample training outline and instructions for how to order, organize and index the MSDS's properly. It will also provide information in how to handle new chemicals as they arrive at the jobsite and discuss training requirements.

> Fact: For the past 8 years, 4 of the top 10 OSHA citations have come from the Hazard Communication standard. These citations include: (1) no written policy, (2) inadequate training, (3) improper chemical container labeling, and (4) incomplete MSDS inventory - or sheets unavailable.

Don't be caught unprotected. This is a very simple, yet often overlooked, area that creates thousands upon thousands of OSHA violations each and every year. Our proven method is as cost effective as it is necessary to implement - one of our client favorites.

Field Supervisor Manual
If you have field supervisors such as on a construction project, this is a must. Our supervisor manual, custom-made to your company and industry needs, will guide your supervisor, step-by-step, through the employee orientation process. This will include safety rules, hazard communication training, and general construction safety topics such as personal protective equipment, accident reporting, etc.

Your supervisor manual will be an abbreviated version of your corporate safety manual. They will be able to carry this book with them at all times for a reference guide and note-taking. It will also have a section for active material safety data sheets on the jobsite.

Field Supervisor Inspection Kit
Did you know that every construction jobsite is required to perform certain inspections on items such as electrical cords, ladders, scaffolding, etc. That's right! If your jobsite is not fully equipped with GFCI's, then all electrical cords and power tools MUST have quarterly inspections and be color-coded with the proper tape. In addition, all ladders must be inspected quarterly as well as scaffolding projects, and other jobsite equipment. The kit also includes jobsite inspection forms.

Our inspection kits contain all the necessary electrical testing equipment, colored tape and paperwork to make these inspection records a snap. Take the guesswork out of your supervisor's jobsite. Order yours today.

Employee Safety Indoctrination Program w/ Safety Orientation Video
That's right!  No matter the size of your company, wouldn't it be great to have an orientation program for your employees (English & Spanish) which would walk them right through the orientation process in a video format? Well it's closer than you might think.

Our new employee safety orientation programs are custom designed to walk your employees through your company safety rules, and overview the following areas:

Hazcom, Back Safety and Proper Lifting Techniques, Fire Safety and Prevention, Personal Protective Equipment, and Lockout/Tagout Requirements.  Upon request, additional topics may be added to the video.

They will then complete a simple quiz to assure they have a working knowledge of these safety regulations before entering their work areas.

• Bonus Item: In order to keep your training records up to date, we will provide a training matrix so that you can track by topic and date those areas that have been covered.

Safety Incentive Programs
We have proven time and again with our clients that safety incentives work in a big way. The key is advertising to your workforce and proper implementation. We have a number of successful incentive programs available. Many of these programs are "reverse-lottery" style programs or "bingo" type programs that generate explosive interest in the employees.

No matter the size of your workforce, we can custom design your company a safety incentive program that will ignite the interest of all employees involved. From "team effort" programs to individual plans, these programs pay for themselves. From Friday donut parties to year-end picnics and safety banquets, the possibilities are limitless.

Let's pay our employees, not the doctors.

BACK SAFETY BASICS

What’s the big deal?

No matter what your occupation is, the chances are that at some point during your work shift, you will be picking something up, and if safety experts are correct, most of us will lift incorrectly. The cartoon below is more than just a silly picture; it is probably an accurate representation of how most of us lift: awkwardly and with no forethought. But just what is the big deal about lifting anyway? Haven’t most of us lifted varying amounts of weight for years without any trouble at all? Really, what is so complicated about picking something up?

A few statistics

• Experts suggest that 4 out of 5 American workers will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
• Of those who suffer back pain, only 4% have a back injury.
• Of those who suffer back injuries, they are not considered fully recovered until they have no pain in the same area for 2 years.

Five golden rules

• Always, always, always, use your legs to lift and not your back.
  The legs have the strongest muscle groups in the body; conversely, the back muscles are the weakest.

• Keep the load close to your body.
  An object held close to your body is far less strain on the back than an object held at arms length.

• Avoid lifting objects over your shoulders.
  When you lift over your shoulders the force of the lift causes your back to "arch" pinching the lower vertebrae, disks, and muscles.

• When moving a load from left to right, turn your body, do not twist your back.
  Remember, your back is like a shock absorber. When you lift, it compresses, and when you lift and twist, the added torque could lead to a back injury.

• Push, don’t pull.
  For those items on carts or dollies, push them instead of pulling. When you pull, you typically place most of the strain on the elbows, knees, and lower back, but when you push, the force of the effort is spread out over the shoulders, chest, and legs.

Tips to last a lifetime

• Size up the load before you lift it.
• Use mechanical lifting devices whenever possible.
• Back belts do not make you stronger.
• Stretching and warm-up exercises help keep your back flexible and strong
• The damage to your back from improper lifting is cumulative.  That is, the older we get and the longer we lift improperly, the greater the risk of injury.
• Think before you lift. It is much better to ask, "How should I lift this load?" than to get hurt and then ask, "How should I have lifted that load?"
