Every guide is organized by obligation — what the regulation requires, what a compliant program contains, where companies slip, and the record each obligation has to produce.
Pick the guide that matches your work. It tells you — in plain language — which written programs you're required to have, what each one has to contain, the common ways companies fall out of compliance, and the records that prove you've done it. If your trade isn't listed, the free assessment builds a gap list from your answers in about ten minutes.
Deenergize-by-default principles, LOTO inspection, arc flash programs, and general industry electrical standards.
Fall protection, low-slope vs steep-slope requirements, rescue plans, and hot-work permits on combustible decking.
Confined space entry, refrigerant handling, brazing, and host-contractor coordination duties.
Respirable crystalline silica, Table 1 compliance, limited-access zones, formwork, and excavation.
Multi-employer worksite responsibility, competent person requirements, and the programs every contractor must have in writing.

Powered industrial trucks, dock safety, racking inspection, and the general industry standards that apply to warehouse operations.
FMCSA compliance, hours of service, pre-trip inspection, hazmat transport, and loading-dock crossover with OSHA.
One question per page, titled the way it actually gets asked. The answer comes first, the rule it comes from is quoted underneath, and every page links to the source on osha.gov so you can read it yourself.

Free tools · no account
Two tools, both free, both ungated. No account, no card, no email.
Answer about ten minutes of questions about your trade, your headcount, and your current safety program. You get a named list of the specific gaps — not a score.
No account, no card. If you sign up afterwards, that list becomes the first draft of your program.
Three questions. At each step you see the controlling CFR section, with a link to it on osha.gov, so you know the rule before you answer. At the end you get the verdict, the reasoning path, and the rule behind each answer.
This doesn't decide for you. It walks the tree, shows the rule, and records the answers you gave.

The assessment doesn't need a published guide — it works from your answers. Pick your NAICS code, walk through the questions, and you get a gap list in about ten minutes.
