CAS DOCUMENT EDITING TIPS
FOR MODIFYING AND CUSTOMIZING DOCUMENTS
:

· The first action should be to save copies of all the documents for future use and restoring actions required.

· If the master is lost, go to http://www.alonebuyersfriend.com/soread.html for instructions on how to get replacement software via email.

· Keep in mind that the document’s intent is to provide a general guideline for creating specific documents based on each individual organization’s requirements.

· Some of the topics included in the manual may not be applicable to your organization’s operations. A detailed review of all topics is required.

Competent parties should review all documents to ensure that all Federal, State

and Local regulatory and legal requirements are addressed.
See Disclaimer for more specifics.
 

· Execute a “Search & Replace” (Ctrl-H) to replace <Author> with your company’s name. Review the document, front to back and follow this procedure for any information noted with “<     >”.

· Keep in mind that Author is how the company generally refers to itself. I.e. General Electric refers to itself as GE. The templates use Author in that manner as it conveys its intentions.

· Use this process for any phrase that needs revision to reflect your organization’s processes.

· If your organization has different titles for individuals approving or taking action, execute a “Search & Replace” (Ctrl-H) to replace the titles noted with the correct title.  (Example: The Safety Manager typically approves most actions related to the Safety.  If your company’s Safety Director approves these activities, Search for Safety Manager and replace it with Safety Director.

· Other responsibilities and duties have been left blank so they can easily be filled in with specific organizational processes and standards. 

Start at the beginning, read each section, evaluate its relevance, revise as needed, save, print and issue.

 

· OSHA Links are provided for the convenience and are constantly changing. If a link is no longer valid, go to www.osha.gov and search for the topic needed.

· The OSHA Links go to some of the regulations, opinions and rulings that relate to the topic being reviewed. Verifying that the manual includes what is required for each unique situation is the responsibility of the organization issuing the document.

 

When researching OSHA links be sure to review all related documents for the latest rulings related to the topic. The document templates are general and not guaranteed to comply with standards that are constantly being updated by OSHA and other regulatory agencies.
