EHS resources, free and useful on their own.
Guides, blank templates, checklists and forms for the parts of a safety program that are easy to get subtly wrong. Everything here is free, with no signup and no email required, and is written to be useful whether or not you ever use our software — under a published editorial policy.
What is a near miss?
A plain definition, how a near miss differs from an injury incident, and what a report has to contain to be worth filing.
GuideIncident & Near-Miss ManagementNear miss vs hazard vs incident
Three words used interchangeably in conversation and very differently in a safety program. Where the lines sit, and why the distinction changes what happens next.
GuideHazard Analysis & RiskHow to conduct a job hazard analysis
Choosing the job, breaking it into steps, naming the hazard at each one, and picking controls that hold up when the crew is tired.
GuideHazard Analysis & RiskJHA vs JSA: is there a real difference?
Two acronyms for closely related work. What each term usually means, where organizations genuinely differ, and what matters more than the label.
GuideOSHA Recordkeeping & Safety MetricsOSHA 300 vs 300A vs 301
Three forms, three different jobs. What each one records, who sees it, and how they relate to a single injury case.
GuideOSHA Recordkeeping & Safety MetricsHow to calculate TRIR and DART
The formulas, where the 200,000 comes from, what belongs in each numerator, and what these rates genuinely tell you about a workplace.
GuideInspections & Workplace ConditionsHow to run a safety inspection program
What to inspect and why, how often when no federal frequency exists, who does it, and what has to happen to a finding for the program to survive.
GuideCorrective ActionsCorrective actions that actually close
Why action lists stall, and the small number of habits — one issue one action, a named owner, a real date, verified separate from complete — that move them.
TemplateHazard Analysis & RiskJob hazard analysis (JHA/JSA) template
A blank JHA form with task steps, hazards, risk level, controls and PPE — plus how to break a job into steps and pick controls that hold.
TemplateTraining & CommunicationToolbox talk template and sign-off sheet
A one-page framework for running a five-minute talk and recording who attended — including what a signature does and does not prove.
ChecklistInspections & Workplace ConditionsWorkplace safety inspection checklist
A ten-category walkaround checklist with OK / Needs action / N/A, and an owner and target date against every finding.
FormIncident & Near-Miss ManagementNear-miss and hazard report form
One side of paper: what happened, what could have happened, and what was done about it. Reporter name optional, on purpose.
PlanSafety Program & LeadershipNew safety manager 30/60/90-day plan
Just been handed safety? What to do first, what to leave alone, and how to tell whether each of the first three months actually worked.
Toolbox talkTraining & CommunicationToolbox talk: hand safety and line of fire
A five-minute talk on why hands end up in the line of fire, what removes the need, and why gloves near rotating parts make it worse. With attendance sign-off.
Toolbox talkTraining & CommunicationToolbox talk: slips, trips and falls
Walking surfaces, transitions, stairs and the loads you cannot see over. Same-level falls only — fall protection from height is a separate topic.
Toolbox talkTraining & CommunicationToolbox talk: forklift and pedestrian safety
For the people on foot. Zones, visibility, intersections, backing and the rear swing — and plainly not operator training.
Toolbox talkTraining & CommunicationToolbox talk: housekeeping
Storage, waste, access and egress, cords and hoses — the upstream condition for half a dozen other hazards.
TemplateInspections & Workplace ConditionsEquipment inspection form
A general record for equipment whose inspection frequency comes from its own standard or manufacturer — with the out-of-service decision built in.
TemplateHazard Analysis & RiskPre-task plan / daily task briefing
Brief the actual work before it starts: what changed, who is doing what, controls in force, and who else is working near you.
ChecklistInspections & Workplace ConditionsWarehouse safety inspection checklist
Racking, truck traffic, loading docks and manual handling — the things a generic workplace walkaround does not have.
ChecklistInspections & Workplace ConditionsMonthly fire extinguisher inspection checklist
A twelve-month record on one page, plus a straight answer to what OSHA requires monthly versus annually.
ChecklistInspections & Workplace ConditionsLadder inspection checklist
A pre-use check for step and extension ladders, with OSHA requirements and ANSI consensus guidance kept visibly separate.
ChecklistInspections & Workplace ConditionsForklift daily pre-use inspection checklist
Engine-off then engine-on checks for a powered industrial truck, with the one rule that matters: a defect takes the truck out of service.
TrackerCorrective ActionsCorrective action tracker
The log a spreadsheet usually holds, with the two columns most trackers omit: where the finding came from, and who verified the fix.
ToolIncident & Near-Miss ManagementIncident cost estimator
Add up what an incident actually cost from what you know — itemised, with every assumption visible and editable, instead of inferred from a multiplier.
