You Know What They Say About Assumptions?
Hint: Ain’t Very Nice. May Even Hurt Feelings.
This Year (& All Subsequent Years For That Matter), Do Not Take Nuthin’ For Granted.
(1) Too Difficult? Maybe Not. Keep It Simple.
(2) Too Expensive? Not Necessarily. Run The Numbers.
(3) Too Complicated? Sure, If You Make It. Break It Down.

(1) Everything Ya’ll Need to Know About Health, Safety, & Såh-kHür-îh-Tāy:
***Don’t Get Sick. Don’t Get Hurt. Don’t Die.
Heed & Periodically Re-Read & Re-Heed Above Cuz Practice Makes Perfect.*** Encourage Same of Employees/Co-Workers/Family/Friends/Foes…
Hypothetical Question(s) For the Kind (& Even The Not-So-Kind) Folks Who Are Exposed to Hazards:
What Hazards In This [Shop / Warehouse / Construction Zone / Building / Office / Clinic / Hospital / Fill-In-The-Blank] Could [Make Folks Sick / Hurt People / Kill Somebody Dead] ???
What Can I/We/They Do To Make Certain That This Does Not Happen???
(2) ¿Dinero = Problemo?

Be Creative. Use In-House Resources First. The Internet Is Chockablock Full Of Checklists, Flowcharts, Diagrams, Pictures, Training Resources, PowerPoint Presentations (Should You Be So Draconian), Sample Safety/Health Programs, Etc.
Word To The Wise:
Although I Swear Under Penalty of Profundity That Everything On Them Internets & Those Websites Is & Are In Fact True & Accurate, Consider Free, Open-Source Resources Associated With .GOV / .STATE / .EDU /.MIL Web Addresses Before Converting Electronic Money Into Tax Deductions; Save It For A Gas-Guzzlin’ Merican-Made 4×4 With A Lift Kit.
(3) How Do You Eat An Elephant? A Little At a Time. A Bite At A Time. A little bit at a time. A little bite at a time. (Or Something Like That. This Idiom Escapes Me.)
In Other Words, You Do Not Have to Become An Expert Overnight. Just Commit To Being “A Little More Better” Every Day.
Although Some Backsliding Is Expected, Do Not Lose Faith: Keep Pushing Forward. Keep Improving.
Many Employers – If Not Most Employers – Overlook In-House Talent. Ask For Help (Eating the Elephant). Some Folks Might Be Hungry (To Learn/Grow/Help/Showcase Raw Talent). Others Simply Refuse To Eat On An Empty Stomach.
Do Not Impulsively Hire “Experts” To Solve Problems That You & Your Crew Can Solve. Your Results Might Just Surprise You. And, the Benefits (of Team-Based Problem Solving) Could Carry Over Into Other Aspects of Your Business.
Otherwise: There Is Nary A Shortage Of Consultants Who Long To Be Under-Worked & Over-Paid.
