Changes in this revision
Revision 2.0 — August 2026
Revision 2.0 is a full rebuild, not an edit of Revision 1.0. Revision 1.0 existed only as a Word document and was never tracked line by line, so no line-level comparison between the two revisions can be produced. What changed is what the manual itself records:
- Restructured around OSHA Publication 3886, the Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs in Construction: management leadership, worker participation, hazard identification and assessment, hazard prevention and control, education and training, program evaluation and improvement, and coordination on multiemployer worksites.
- New or rewritten written programs for fall protection, hazard communication (aligned to GHS Rev. 7), PPE selection and fit, respirable crystalline silica, and heat illness prevention.
- 2026 regulatory update throughout — each change is itemized with its CFR citation and effective date in What's New — 2026 Regulatory Update Summary.
- Forms consolidated into Appendices A through H, so the acknowledgment, warning notice, injury and first-aid reports, hazard report, orientation checklist, toolbox talk record, and inspection checklist are all in one place.
Future revisions
Each published revision is tagged in the source repository as
safety-manual-rev-<revision>. From Revision 3.0 onward, the exact set of
changes between any two revisions can therefore be produced as a line-by-line
difference of the manual's source, and this section will carry a plain-language
summary of that difference for each revision.
