Why every US employer needs a written EHS handbook
OSHA requires employers to maintain written programs for more than a dozen specific hazards. During an inspection, an OSHA compliance officer will ask for these documents by name. If you can't produce them — even if your practices are safe — you face citations and fines.
Beyond OSHA, a well-organized EHS handbook is the foundation of your safety culture. It tells every employee what the rules are, who is responsible, and what to do in an emergency — before an incident happens.
OSHA citation alert: “No written program” violations are among the top 10 most-cited OSHA standards every year. The fix is simple — and free with this template.
