Small businesses don't need a corporate safety department to comply with OSHA-they need a clear, practical playbook. Simple Safety for Small Business: A Practical Guide for Workplace Compliance gives owners and managers a step-by-step path to meet core requirements without drowning in jargon or bureaucracy. You'll learn how to build a lean written program, identify and control hazards, train employees effectively, and document the essentials that inspectors actually look for. Each chapter translates complex rules into plain language, supported by checklists, forms, and decision aids that fit real-world shops, retail operations, repair facilities, and light manufacturing. The book emphasizes reasonable risk reduction, cost-effective PPE selection, and straightforward recordkeeping practices aligned to federal OSHA, with concise notes where state-plan differences may apply. Designed for rapid implementation, the guidance prioritizes high-value actions over paperwork, so you can improve safety performance, reduce downtime, and protect your people while staying compliant. Whether you're opening your doors, formalizing your safety program, or preparing for growth, this guide provides the practical structure you need-no fluff, no enterprise overhead, just the actions that matter.
