Occupational Health & Safety Manual

How To Use This Page
This is a digital version of the Occupational Health & Safety Manual that was developed in early 2008. If you wish to see a printed (paper) version, please see your area supervisor. The files for the manual are in PDF format, so you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, found here. However most computers today come with the software needed to display them.

To view a topic, simply click the appropriate subject link and the file will be displayed on your computer. Practice quizzes and answers (located at the bottom of the page) are also supplied.

Some materials in this production are (c) Business & Legal Reports 2008. This was developed by the Environmental Office of Health and Safety at Middle Georgia College in 2008.

If you encounter any issue with using anything in this site, or find any errors, please contact the Environmental Office at 3054.
