Since 1979 the governments on duty have issued regulations related to the Safety and Health at Work and currently there is no Management Manual on the market that allows employers and contractors to verify compliance with the law and before Nonconformities implement the necessary corrective actions. The design of this Manual is aimed at employers and contractors know the law that applies to them in matters of occupational risks, safety and health at work and in a pedagogical way each one evidences the supports and / or records that must be exhibited to the labor authority at the time of the standards verification visit. This Manual contributes to improving the Health and Safety conditions of Workers also minimizes sanctions by the Labor Authority.
