Editable Microsoft Word (.docx) files. You fill in your company name, safety officer name, city, employee count, and nearest emergency hospital. Everything else is written, formatted, and ready to use.
Documents include a branded cover page, running headers and footers with page numbers, a ReadyDocs Safe disclaimer, and an employee acknowledgment and signature page. They are professionally formatted and look like what a safety consultant would produce — because they're built to the same regulatory standard.
Yes, substantively. The difference is cost and time. A safety consultant charges $75–$215 per hour. A complete safety program takes 15–30 hours of research, writing, and formatting — that's $1,125–$6,450 before revisions.
ReadyDocs Safe has already done that work, for your specific industry, citing the correct OSHA standards and Texas-specific agencies. You get the same quality of written program that passes OSHA inspections and OSHCON reviews — at a fixed price with no sales call.
A Written Safety Plan (also called a Written Safety Program or Injury and Illness Prevention Program) is a documented safety management system for your workplace. It identifies hazards, assigns responsibilities, documents procedures, and establishes training requirements.
If you have employees, yes — you are legally required to have written safety programs for covered hazards. Specifically:
OSHA enforces written program requirements for businesses of every size — there is no employee-count exemption for Texas employers.
Substantially different. Each Written Safety Plan is built around the specific hazards of that industry — not a generic framework with the industry name pasted in.
For Lawn & Landscape: TDA pesticide applicator licensing requirements, chainsaw chaps under 1910.266, Spanish/English bilingual orientation, outdoor heat acclimatization for crews starting early in the season.
For Salons: TDLR cosmetology licensing requirements, formaldehyde disclosure for keratin treatments under 1910.1048, chemical relaxer burn prevention protocol, methyl methacrylate (MMA) hazards in nail services, GFCI requirements for styling tools near water.
These sections don't exist in a national template — because TDA, TDLR, and the specific chemical hazards in each industry require specific knowledge to document correctly.
After purchase, you'll fill in an intake form that collects the specific information for your business. Your documents are then customized with that information before delivery.
The placeholders in the delivered documents are:
Everything else — the regulatory citations, the hazard sections, the procedures, the Texas agency references — is already written and ready to use.
Three steps:
Your documents are delivered within 1–3 business days to the email you provide. If you need documents in 24 hours, the expedited option (+$75) is available at checkout.
Standard delivery: 1–3 business days from intake form submission.
Business days are Monday–Friday, excluding Texas public holidays. Most orders are delivered within 1–2 business days. Orders placed after 2:00 PM CT Friday are processed the following Monday.
Expedited delivery: 24 business hours — available at checkout for +$75. If your order is placed before 2:00 PM CT, expedited orders are delivered by 2:00 PM CT the following business day.
ReadyDocs Safe documents are comprehensive for the standard operations in each industry. If your operation has unusual hazards or requirements not covered by the standard documents — for example, a manufacturing facility that also does welding of exotic alloys, or a construction contractor that performs work on federal projects with Davis-Bacon requirements — email us at contact@readydocssafe.com before purchasing.
In most cases, the standard documents cover your operation. When they don't, we'll tell you that directly rather than sell you something that doesn't fit.
Having written programs in place is the first thing OSHA inspectors ask for. If a written safety plan exists and matches the hazards in your workplace, OSHA is more likely to issue a notice to correct than a citation — and citations that do issue are often reduced in severity when documentation demonstrates a good-faith compliance effort.
ReadyDocs Safe documents are written to the standard that OSHA compliance officers check against. They cite the correct CFR sections, include the required program elements (written policy, hazard identification, training requirements, employee responsibilities), and address the industry-specific hazards that trigger inspection findings.
No document — including one written by a consultant at $5,000 — guarantees zero citations. What written programs do is demonstrate that you took your legal obligations seriously, which changes how inspectors and judges treat violations if they do occur.
OSHCON is the Texas Division of Workers' Compensation's free on-site consultation program — a service run by TDI (Texas Department of Insurance) where safety professionals visit your workplace, review your written programs, identify hazards, and provide recommendations without enforcement authority. An OSHCON visit cannot result in OSHA citations.
When an OSHCON consultant reviews your operation, the first thing they look for is written programs. Having ReadyDocs Safe documents in place before an OSHCON visit dramatically improves the outcome — the consultant can focus on operational recommendations rather than starting from scratch on documentation.
You can request a free OSHCON consultation at tdi.texas.gov.
DWC Form-001 is the Texas Department of Workers' Compensation's First Report of Injury or Illness form. Texas law requires employers to report a work-related injury to their workers' compensation carrier within 8 business days of the injury — different from OSHA's federal reporting timelines.
ReadyDocs Safe documents reference DWC Form-001 because Texas employers who miss the 8-day reporting window can face TWC penalties in addition to any OSHA reporting violations. Most national templates don't mention DWC at all — they only reference OSHA's federal timelines, which creates compliance gaps for Texas employers.
Texas Mutual Insurance Company offers a 12.2–12.4% workers' compensation premium discount for businesses that participate in an approved safety group program. Having documented, written safety programs in place is a qualifying factor.
On a $10,000 annual workers' comp premium, that's $1,240 saved per year. Your Complete Safety System costs $597. Payback period: under 5 months.
Contact your workers' comp agent or Texas Mutual directly to confirm current discount availability and qualification requirements — programs and eligibility criteria can change.
Yes. The Written Safety Plan and HazCom Program are the primary documents ISNetworld RAVS (Regulatory and Voluntary Standards) reviewers require. ReadyDocs Safe's Starter Pack includes both — built to the standard that RAVS review requires.
Process: Buy the Starter Pack → receive your documents in 1–3 business days → upload to your ISNetworld account under the RAVS document requirements → done.
Note that ISNetworld also requires insurance certificates, EMR (Experience Modification Rate) documentation, and other materials outside of written safety programs. ReadyDocs Safe provides the written program component — your insurance agent handles the certificate side.
Yes. Avetta (formerly BROWZ), PICS, and other contractor prequalification platforms use the same core document requirements as ISNetworld — a Written Safety Plan and HazCom Program as the minimum written program documents. ReadyDocs Safe documents meet the written program requirements for all major contractor prequalification platforms.
ReadyDocs Safe documents are reviewed and endorsed by Derek Worth, a licensed safety and compliance professional based in Grapevine, Texas. Derek holds a [Credential] and has direct experience with OSHA inspection processes and Texas regulatory agency requirements.
Documents are built against the same regulatory standards that OSHA compliance officers use during inspections — 29 CFR 1910 for general industry, 29 CFR 1926 for construction, and the Texas-specific agency requirements (TDA, TDLR, DSHS, DWC) that national templates don't address.
ReadyDocs HR builds HR policy documents — employee handbooks, job descriptions, offer letters, PTO policies. ReadyDocs Safe builds OSHA safety compliance documents — Written Safety Plans, HazCom Programs, Heat Illness Prevention Plans, JHA Packs.
Both are built on the same model: fixed price, Texas-specific, industry-specific, professionally formatted Word documents, delivered in 1–3 business days. Both are sister brands under ReadyDocs, based in Grapevine, TX.
If you need both HR and safety documents, you can purchase from both ReadyDocs HR (readydocshr.com) and ReadyDocs Safe independently.
ReadyDocs Safe documents are custom-produced for your business using your intake form information. Because of this, we do not offer refunds after documents have been delivered.
