Regulatory Basis

The agencies and citations your documents cover

Generic templates cite federal OSHA only. ReadyDocs Safe documents name every Texas agency that can inspect, cite, or fine your operation.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910

General Industry standards — the primary federal framework for restaurant and commercial kitchen operations. Includes 1910.1200 (HazCom), 1910.132 (PPE), and General Duty Clause for heat.

DSHS — Texas DSHS

Texas Department of State Health Services mandates food handler certification within 60 days of hire. Your Written Safety Plan references this requirement so it's documented and defensible.

DWC Form-001

Texas Department of Workers' Compensation requires injury reporting within 8 business days — different from OSHA's federal timeline. Your documents cover both so nothing falls through the cracks.

OSHCON

TDI's free occupational safety consultation program. Inspectors review written safety programs during site visits. Having ReadyDocs Safe documents in place dramatically improves outcomes.

29 CFR 1910.1200

HazCom / Right-to-Know — kitchen chemicals including degreasers, sanitizers, and bleach are covered hazardous materials. Your HazCom Program documents every chemical in your inventory.

General Duty Clause

OSHA's heat enforcement basis — applies to indoor commercial kitchens AND outdoor food truck operations. Region 6 expands any inspection where heat hazards are found.

What makes the Food & Beverage version different

These sections don't exist in a generic safety template. They're in your documents because they're specific to commercial kitchen and food service operations.

Written Safety Plan · Section 7

Commercial Fryer and Hot Oil Protocol

Documents the specific burn prevention procedures for commercial fryer operation — including splash guard requirements, oil temperature monitoring, and the emergency response protocol for hot oil contact. References first-aid requirements under 29 CFR 1910.151 and burn severity thresholds for 911 dispatch. Specific to operations running fryers with oil temperatures above 300°F.

Written Safety Plan · Section 8

Slicer and Mandoline LOTO Program

A full Lockout/Tagout section specific to commercial slicers — one of the highest-frequency injury sources in food service. Documents blade guard requirements, cleaning procedures (a common moment of injury), and the LOTO sequence for blade removal and sharpening. References 29 CFR 1910.147 and includes a visual LOTO procedure card for posting at the slicer.

HazCom Program · Section 4

Chemical Incompatibility — Bleach and Ammonia

One of the most common dangerous chemical incidents in food service — mixing bleach-based sanitizers with ammonia-based degreasers. Your HazCom Program documents the incompatibility matrix, proper storage separation requirements, and GHS labeling standards for all secondary containers. Required under 29 CFR 1910.1200(e) whether you have 3 employees or 300.

Fixed price. No sales call. Ready in 1–3 business days.

A safety consultant would charge $1,900–$6,000 and take 2–6 weeks. A generic template won't reference DSHS, DWC, or your fryer hazards. ReadyDocs Safe does both — at a fixed price.
