NAHB Safety & Health Program
The NAHB Safety & Health Program (Version 2.0) is a model safety program designed for small to medium-sized home builders and general contractors. It contains the resources and materials needed to effortlessly set up a successful, company-wide safety program. It may be customized to reflect the particular circumstances of each jobsite.
This practical, hands-on guide will be revised periodically to ensure it includes the latest information builders need, including new regulatory compliance guidelines.
The safety program, available to download in English and Spanish, also contains many forms used commonly by general contractors and notices required to be posted on active jobsites.
For more safety resources, see NAHB's Video Toolbox Talks and Safety Toolkits.
