Safe job procedures

Generally speaking, job procedures are a list of the specific steps that are required to complete a specific task while at work. A "safe job procedure" will explain how to perform the job successfully. Some people confuse a "safe job procedure" with a "safe work practice", which is more of a tool to provide general awareness rather than a list of steps that need take place for a job to be successful.

Admittedly, both safe job procedures and safe work practices are not the most exciting of safety related topics. In fact, they are often overlooked by many smaller businesses in order to focus on other areas of their business. When looking at how a business completes their work, overlooking the importance of safe job procedures can be detrimental to the company's workers and reputation.

Effectively developed and implemented safe job procedures will:
  • Provide workers with a plan for how to safely complete a job.
  • Communicate the quality and service expectations that a small business owner wishes to maintain if they are not present at all work sites.
  • Identify the hazards and precautions that are expected when completing the specific task.
  • Reduce the likelihood of workers being injured when completing the job identified in the safe job procedure.
  • Decrease the frequency of quality or service errors.
  • Provide a reference to any external information that may be needed by an unsupervised workforce. 
  • Act as a marketing tool for the company when bidding on new work by assuring prospective customers that a defined process exists for work that your business is contracted to perform. 
If you feel that your business could benefit from an established set of safe job procedures, please visit the contact page. We would be happy to help.
