Safety Manual FAQs

I cannot download my product(s). What Now? There are usually two possible reasons why users cannot download their products:
1. The most common reason why users cannot download their product(s) is because the user did not save the Microsoft Word document to their computer before editing or modifying it. If you are seeing "compatibility" warnings while attempting to save any of the file(s) please close all open document(s), re-open the document from the download page, "save as" to your computer, close the document, then re-open the document to make modifications, save & print.

2. Another common problem users have is "unzipping", "extracting", or simply dealing with "compressed folders. If you were bounced from the download page and are trying to download the product(s) from the automated email we sent you then you must deal with the a compressed folder containing your product.

Most computers come with software that deals with compressed folders automatically while some do not. If you cannot retrieve your document(s) from within the automated confirmation email (products are also emailed automatically) please try to open and save a copy of the "compressed folder" which you downloaded from our automated email to your computer. Then right-click on the compressed folder and select "extract all". Once you have done this, you will now have a standard folder containing all of the documents saved on your computer.

If you were not able to right-click or "extract" from the compressed folder you probably do not have the free software on your computer that deals with compressed folders. You can download this software for free at: http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-2250_4-10045185.html. This particular brand of file compression software is safer and superior to others on the web so we recommend this over any other free product you might install.

For this reason, customers are encouraged to submit our safety manuals and request a discount on workers' compensation insurance premiums. Just one more way the safety manual pays for itself many times over.

 

Is your safety manual accepted by general contractors and government entities seeking proof of our company safety policies?

Can I use the safety manual to train my employees in safety? Yes, however we encourage employers to use our safety meeting topics for regular documented safety meetings and use trained ASP's or CSP's for comprehensive safety training requirements.
