PBS Policies
Your own branded policy pack, handbooks, risk assessments and toolbox talks - produced in the browser from a starter library, with your business substituted throughout, then downloaded.
Open PBS Policies
Available now. It opens in your browser — there is
nothing to install and nothing to sign up to. The document library is still
being written, so treat what is in there today as a strong starting point
rather than a finished set.
The job it does
Not a folder of templates to retype, and not a subscription to somebody
else's handbook. You put your business in once and the documents come out
in your name, ready to read, change and hand over.
It starts full, not empty
The starter content is deliberately heavy: policies, staff handbooks,
risk assessments and around five hundred toolbox talks written for
civils construction. You are choosing what applies to you and cutting
what does not, which is a much shorter job than writing from nothing.
Your business, substituted throughout
Company name, trading name, the names and job titles of the people who
sign things off, your labels and your logo are put through every
document, so the pack reads as one business's paperwork rather than a
pile of forms from different places.
Amend on screen, then download
Every document can be taken as it stands or edited in the browser first
and then downloaded. A document you cannot change is one you end up
rewriting somewhere else, which is how a policy pack and what a business
actually does drift apart.
Paperwork, not a certificate
It produces your documents. It does not assess your business, inspect
your sites, approve anything or make you compliant with anything — no
software can, and any that says otherwise is selling you a feeling. What
you do with the documents is the part that counts.
Where the structure came from
Not a bought framework. A spreadsheet, and years of being the person who
had to produce this paperwork.
The hard part of a policy pack is not the writing, it is working out what a
business of this shape actually needs and in what order — and that came out
of our own spreadsheet rather than a template library somebody licensed to
us. The wording is still being written, by us, by hand. We would rather say
that than call a library complete because it has a lot of files in it.
