Should you Reference or Repeat
Developing safe job procedures and practices is an ongoing challenge. We recommend that you start by covering the most hazardous procedures first, and then continue by incrementally adding procedures and practices as needed.
If OSHA standards clearly cover a procedure, go ahead and reference it in your documentation so you don't have to repeat it. However, most OSHA standards are "performance-based" which means they leave it up to the employer to develop and perform certain safe job procedures. Be careful in evaluating the need to develop your own procedures. Make sure that they meet the performance requirements that are stated within the OSHA standards.
