Frequently Asked Questions

It's very easy. Scroll down the webpage you are looking to purchase the safety template from and click on the BUY NOW button pertaining to your province. Once you place your purchase an MS WORD format copy of the manual including forms will automatically be sent to your email address. From there all you need to do is add in your company LOGO and company NAME into the program (instructions are provided). Ensure you spell your email correctly when placing your order. If for any reason upon purchase you do not see the templates in your email inbox, no problem, just contact us and we will immediately email you a copy. What is included with my Safety Manual Template upon purchase?
Each safety program template we offer has been developed in accordance with each provincial health and safety regulations across Canada. So for example, if you purchase the Roofing BC safety manual template then that template has been designed to meet with BC occupational health and safety regulations. If you purchase the Roofing Alberta safety manual template then that template has been designed to meet with Alberta occupational health and safety regulations, and so on for each particular province. When you successfully place your online order, you will receive your safety program template (plus forms package) in MS WORD .doc format automatically by email; which means you can use your safety manual as is or make edits, changes or additions to your program at anytime. You will receive customization instructions in PDF format which will clearly outline how to insert your company logo to each page, how to change your title page picture, how to update your table of contents and how to insert your company name into the entire document in just a few clicks of a button (YOU DO NOT NEED TO MANUALLY INSERT YOUR COMPANY NAME PAGE BY PAGE) - our instructions will outline how to do this for the entire document; very quickly. What if your safety manual template has a policy in it that does not apply to my business, can your template still work for my business? Absolutely! If for any reason our template has a policy within it that does not apply to your business, simply delete it from your manual. Once you have deleted the policy, simply update your table of contents (we have provided you with instructions on how to do so) . For example, a Joint Health and Safety Committee is only required in certain provinces when you reach a certain amount of employees employed within your business. If you have less than 10 employees let's say for Saskatchewan or less than 20 employees for BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario; then by regulation you will not need a JHSC committee or this policy within your manual, so simply delete it from your manual. It's that easy. Can I request OHS2Go.com to add additional safety policies or procedures to my purchased Template? Yes, absolutely.
