This is not a blank template — it’s a fully written safety manual
Most “safety manual templates” online are blank outlines with headings and empty lines — you still have to write everything yourself. This manual is different. Every program, every procedure, and every form is already drafted by Canadian Registered Safety Professionals. It is designed to serve as the foundation for your COR audit — covering the safety management system elements required by the Certificate of Recognition program across BC, Alberta, and other participating provinces. You add your logo and company name, remove anything that doesn’t apply, and you’re done. Hiring a safety consultant to produce the same document typically costs $2,000–$5,000+. This is $99.99.
