Management programs many companies add (tap one to add just that program)
- General Safety
- Site-Specific Safety Plan
- Safety Meetings and Toolbox Talks
- Subcontractor Management Plan
- Incident Investigation
- Emergency Action Plan
- Injury and Illness Recordkeeping
General Safety reflects the accident prevention program duties in 29 CFR 1926.20(b), Emergency Action Plan follows 29 CFR 1926.35 where another standard requires one, and Injury and Illness Recordkeeping follows 29 CFR Part 1904 where your company is covered. The others are not tied to a single OSHA standard; builders and general contractors often ask for them. This is a starting point, not a requirement list: what you need depends on your work, your state, and what your clients, insurer, or platform ask for.
