Naming your safe work documents - a best practice approach

What to name safety and safe work documents, a best practice approach
Safety and safe work documents end up with many different headings or names, safe work procedures, safe work guides, safe work practices and more. How to name your safety documents is almost as important as what you put in them.
There are all sorts of different names for safe work documents – safe work guides, guidelines, procedures, practices and on and on. It seems as we make efforts toward simplifying documents we sometimes make things more complicated.
We need to stick to the basics! Keeping simple will attract and retain an audience if you keep it simple people are more apt to adopt this safety thing we are constantly trying to sell! So, let’s look at how we might do this.
In this video I am going to outline what I have found as best practice approach to creating a modular set of safe work documents to include safe work procedures and safe work guides. In addition I will give you a suggestion regarding the use of “safe work practices”

Hi Can you please make a video on development of OHSMS ( while taking example of any organization ) Thanks in advance!

Having seen it with many organizations in several different settings, there are too many different titles and terms for safe work documents. Why not try and make it simpler instead for so complex nobody wants to read the material? Have a look at the notion of simplifying the different titles and terms and leave me your thoughts.

Thanks and like always informative video,

You reminded me of the health and safety policy .that has to be written in every language spoken in the site. Where I work we have Indians Arabs Greeks and Europeans

Speaking about about the safe work documents.. Sometimes I tend to feel that more or half of my work is paper work lol rather than site visits walkthroughs. umm even tho I think walkthroughs and inspections are more sufficient or I shall say important..

Let us know when you make a live stream. Because I have never received a notification when u do it.
