How much does a written OSHA safety program cost for a small contractor?
SafetyProgramPro delivers a complete written safety program for a one-time price of $299 USD. There is no subscription. The package includes the full written program (typically 35 to 60 pages), an employee acknowledgment sheet, 4 toolbox talks matched to your top hazards, and a one-page cover letter for your general contractor.
What does OSHA require in a written safety program for construction?
OSHA does not mandate a single 'safety program' document, but 29 CFR Part 1926 requires written plans for many specific hazards a contractor is exposed to, including Hazard Communication (1910.1200), Fall Protection (Subpart M), Respiratory Protection (1910.134) when respirators are used, Lockout/Tagout (1910.147), Confined Space (Subpart AA), Excavation (Subpart P), Silica (1926.1153), and an Emergency Action Plan (1926.50). A written safety program collects those required plans plus training, PPE, and enforcement policies into one document.
Do subcontractors need a written safety program to work for a general contractor?
Yes. Most general contractors require every subcontractor to submit a written, site-specific safety program before starting work, and many will not release a purchase order or badge crews onto a site without it. Insurance carriers and prequalification networks such as ISNetworld, Avetta, and Veriforce require the same document.
What is a site-specific safety program?
A site-specific safety program names the contractor's company, trade, and the actual work activities their crews perform, and it cites the exact 29 CFR sections that apply to those activities. It is not a blank template with fill-in-the-blank fields. SafetyProgramPro writes each section as prose that references your company by name and your specific activities.
How long does it take to get a written safety program?
The intake takes about 10 minutes. After payment, the written program is generated in roughly 2 to 3 minutes and delivered as a single PDF you can download and email to your general contractor or insurer the same day.
Which trades does SafetyProgramPro support?
HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Roofing, Concrete, Framing and Carpentry, Drywall, Painting, Welding and Fabrication, Excavation and Utilities, Landscaping, and General Contractor. Each trade preselects the OSHA sections most common for that work, and the intake questions refine the program to the contractor's actual activities.
Will this satisfy ISNetworld, Avetta, or Veriforce?
Yes. The program includes the written policies these networks review, with correct 29 CFR citations, training and enforcement language, an employee acknowledgment sheet, and toolbox talk records. Contractors upload the PDF directly to their prequalification profile.
Do I need a designated safety person to have a written safety program?
No. Small contractors without a dedicated safety officer can still maintain a compliant written program. SafetyProgramPro writes the responsibilities section so the owner holds the safety-officer role, which is standard for companies under roughly 25 employees.
