Who this is for
CrewCompliance is built for construction contractors who need a real written safety program on file. That includes general contractors, specialty subs, trade contractors, self-performing builders, and service contractors who work on construction sites. Whether you run a crew of three or a crew of three hundred, the program is shaped around your trade, your state, and the hazards you actually encounter on the job.
If you're reading this because a GC emailed you asking for your safety program, a client sent over a prequalification packet, an insurer asked to see written documentation, or you just want something better than a PDF template you downloaded three years ago — you're in the right place.
What you get in a CrewCompliance safety program
A CrewCompliance safety program is a full written package, not a single document. It's structured so you can send the whole thing to a GC or insurer in one go, or pull individual sections when someone asks for a specific plan.
What's typically included in the program:
- A core company safety and health program written to your state's construction requirements.
- Trade-specific sections aligned to the work you actually perform.
- Written programs for the common hazard areas most construction contractors are asked about — covering topics like hazard communication, fall protection, personal protective equipment, respiratory protection where it applies, silica where it applies, heat illness prevention where it applies, lockout/tagout, electrical safety, and more depending on your trade and state.
- Roles, responsibilities, training expectations, and recordkeeping language written in plain English.
- A site-specific addendum structure you can fill in per job when a GC or client asks for it.
- Ready-to-use forms, logs, and toolbox talk starters.
Exactly which sections are included depends on your hazards, trade, state, and what your GCs, clients, and insurers are actually asking for. That's the point — you don't end up paying for sections you don't need, and you don't end up missing sections you do.
When contractors usually come to us
Most contractors don't go looking for a written safety program for the fun of it. They come to CrewCompliance when something forces the issue:
- A general contractor won't release the subcontract until they see your safety manual.
- A bid package requires a written program as part of the submission.
- A prequal portal like an insurance carrier's risk portal or a GC's vendor portal is asking for a safety program upload.
- An insurer or broker asks for documentation before renewal or before writing a new policy.
- A client, property manager, or facility wants to see written documentation before they let you on site.
- An inspector showed up and asked to see your written programs.
- A near-miss, incident, or claim made it clear the old binder is out of date.
- You just landed bigger work and you know the template you've been using isn't going to hold up.
If any of that is why you're here, the fastest path is to get a state + trade-specific program built for your company rather than trying to stitch together another generic template.
Why state-specific and trade-specific matters
Construction safety requirements are not one national document. Federal OSHA sets a baseline, but state plans often layer in their own requirements, forms, training expectations, and written-plan obligations. What's expected on a California jobsite is not what's expected on a Texas jobsite, and neither of those matches what a Washington or Michigan inspector will look for.
Trade matters just as much. A roofing program needs to actually address fall protection in a serious, residential-and-commercial way. An electrical program needs to address energized work and lockout/tagout correctly. An HVAC program needs to address refrigerants, confined spaces, heights, and electrical exposure. A generic "construction safety manual" that treats all trades the same will pass a quick glance and then fall apart the moment a safety manager, insurer, or inspector reads it closely.
CrewCompliance builds the program around your state and your trade from the beginning, so the document actually fits the work.
How it compares to a generic template
A generic template tends to fail in predictable ways:
- It references the wrong state or no state at all.
- It lists hazards you never encounter and skips hazards you encounter every day.
- It leaves company name, addresses, and roles as bracketed placeholders that never get filled in.
- It assumes a safety officer title and structure you don't have.
- It's missing the site-specific documentation GCs actually ask for.
- It reads like it was written for a factory, not a jobsite.
GC safety managers and insurance underwriters can usually spot the difference quickly. CrewCompliance starts from your state and your trade, uses your company's actual structure, and gives you documentation that holds up when it's read in detail.
How it works, start to finish
- Tell us your state, trade, crew size, and the kind of work you're doing.
- Tell us what triggered this — a GC ask, a bid, an insurer request, prequal, or a general need to tighten things up.
- We put together your state + trade-specific written safety program.
- You get a clean version you can send to a GC, drop into a prequal portal, hand to an insurer, or keep on site.
- When something changes, you have a clean base program to update instead of starting from scratch.
What happens after the first version is delivered
A written safety program isn't a one-time artifact. Jobs change, crews change, state rules shift, and the documents you were asked for last year aren't always the ones you're asked for this year. CrewCompliance is meant to give you a clean base program you can keep current, use alongside site-specific addenda when a GC or client needs one, and rely on when documentation requests come in.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to have a written safety program? It depends on your hazards, your state, your trade, and what your clients and insurers are asking for. Some states and some hazards trigger specific written-program obligations directly. Even where a written program isn't a direct requirement, most GCs, insurers, and prequal systems effectively require one before they'll let you on the job. In practice, if you're bidding real work, you need real documentation.
Is this just a template I fill in? No. You tell us your state, trade, and the work you do, and we build the program around that. You're not left to figure out the bracketed placeholders.
Can I use this for prequal portals and bid packages? In many cases, yes. The program is built so you can send it to GCs, clients, insurers, brokers, and prequal portals without having to rework the whole document. Some jobs or portals may still ask for project-specific forms or extra attachments.
What if I work in more than one state? Tell us before you order so the scope can match the states you actually work in. If you need multi-state coverage, that should be handled intentionally rather than assumed.
