Safety Starter Kit for Manitoba
31 Safety and Health Forms in 10 Steps for Small Workplaces (Word + PDF)
The written safety and health documents Manitoba expects from a small employer, in ten steps. The kit has a weekend plan, so you can finish a first version in a weekend.
Is it for you?
Who it is for
Who it is for
- Manitoba employers with about 1 to 50 workers, such as shops, offices, restaurants, service businesses and small manufacturers.
- Owners starting a safety and health program from nothing, or tidying up a patchy one.
Who it is not for
- Federally regulated employers and workplaces outside Manitoba.
- Industries with their own safety and health rules, such as construction, health care, forestry, oil and gas, and firefighting. Use the kit for the basics, then add your industry's rules.
- Unionized workplaces.
- The extra rules for young workers (in Manitoba, children under 13 may not be employed, 13- to 15-year-olds need the Young Worker Readiness Certificate Course, and some jobs are closed to workers under 16 or 18). Everything in the kit applies to young workers too.
What is inside
Everything in the download
The kit (91 PDF pages, 30 Law boxes, 31 forms):
Read this first: what applies at 1 to 4, 5 to 19 and 20 or more workers, a weekend plan, who to call, and a 12-question check of where you stand today.
The ten steps. Each step has a Law box, plain instructions and its forms:
- Hazards and risks
- Safety policy and program
- Harassment and violence: policies, risk assessment and yearly violence report
- Emergency procedures
- First aid
- Representative or committee, with a written reply to a recommendation
- Inspections and meetings
- Incidents and injuries, with a serious incident call sheet
- Training, orientation and right to refuse
- Rules that may apply to you: working alone, hazardous products (WHMIS), contractors and protective equipment
Worked example: one made-up 12-worker shop is followed through the steps.
Back pages: the year at a glance, a document register, how long to keep records, what you must post or hand out, mistakes that cost owners money, when to get help, and a table of the laws the kit follows.
Forms and Letters (39 PDF pages): the 12-question check, all 31 forms and the document register (33 items), each on its own page, ready to print and reuse.
Good to know: SAFE Work Manitoba offers free downloads, such as the Safety & Health Guide for Small Businesses with sample policies, and a guide to setting up a committee or representative. They are official and worth reading. This kit is a separate product. It puts the work in one order for the current rules with a weekend plan, follows one made-up 12-worker shop through every step, and gives you 31 forms in one file. It is not an official government document.
industry-specific rules, training courses or certificates, or a promise that you will pass an inspection.
