OSHA Has Books
Below are a great selection of books from OSHA. These may be 20 – 100 pages and include items such as guides on what they require for training.
Note – I have included the pdf version, but if you go to the OSHA website, they also have MOBI and EPUB.

SDS Quick Card from OSHA
Here is a great reference card – great for training, posting at or near your Chemical SDS Binder (you have one of those, right?), etc.
This comes from OSHA, so it is a good idea to have their materials on hand – especially if they show up!

Another Toolbox Talk Website
Not as many as Safety Talk Ideas, but these are downloadable. I have not screened many, so not 100% sure of quality, but variety is nice.
Other Safety Talk Website
I was sitting at my very safe house and got a response to a post, “Safety Guy – look at my site – it is really good and has good stuff, you can link from your site over and that would be really cool.”
So I look, and it is pretty good, so here it is:
Now – did he link to MY site? No, he did not. Sort of like ‘hey, do me a favor and I return favor’ etiquette thing on the inter webs, but, it does have good info…
Although Safety Talk Idea Guy – if you can make your talks downloadable, that makes them more popular. Just sayin’

OSHA’s Field Manuals – Download Free, Here!
OSHA publishes their field manuals, plus items called ‘CPL’s.’ CPL (short for ‘compliance’) documents are the actual guidelines that OSHA uses when performing inspections. No, really.
Some of these are very long and involved, but if you want to know what OSHA will look for on your job, look here. I have no posted all of them, but here is a sample. To get the rest, go to http://www.osha.gov and do a search for “CPL.”
