Contractors face tight schedules, changing sites, and real hazards. Simple Safety for Small Business: Construction turns OSHA requirements into a field-ready system any small contractor can run. It focuses on what supervisors and crews must do every day: pre-task planning, fall protection, ladder and scaffold use, powered tools, electrical and excavation controls, silica and dust exposure, and incident response. The book provides ready-to-use checklists, toolbox talk prompts, and minimal-burden documentation to demonstrate compliance without bogging down production. You'll get plain-English guidance on roles and responsibilities, subcontractor coordination, equipment inspections, training, and recordkeeping-plus concise notes on state-plan variations where they commonly surface in construction. Built for mobility and quick reference, the approach emphasizes high-risk controls and simple accountability so foremen can keep crews safe and jobs moving. If you need a lean, defensible, and repeatable safety system for small to mid-size projects, this guide gives you the essentials that work in the field.
