You will also find a safety plan template that you can utilize to complete your safety plan if you don't already have one, and the business affirmation form that you must complete and submit to self-certify that your business has a safety plan in place to protect your employees and customers. A copy of your safety plan and business affirmation form should be printed and posted at your place of business.
