The real SA8000:2014 social accountability documentation set: 126 documents that form a complete social management system for a factory or workplace. The Social Manual covers all nine SA8000 elements, from child labour and forced labour to health and safety, freedom of association, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration and the management system. You also get nine social policies, sixteen system and OHS procedures, twenty-one standard operating procedures, six social committees with meeting records, forty-nine forms and formats, OHS plans, and the risk, compliance and SA8000 clause-wise audit tools, all editable in Word and Excel, so an employer can build a certification-ready SA8000 system without hiring a consultant.
Preparing the documentation is the slowest and most confusing part of getting certified to SA8000:2014. You have to work out what the standard asks for, decide what to write, and turn it into a manual, procedures and records that an auditor will accept. Done from a blank page it takes months, and paying a consultant to do it can cost thousands.
The SA8000:2014 Documentation Toolkit gives you that whole system, already written and ready to edit. It is built by practitioners around the exact structure of the standard, so nothing an auditor expects is missing. You add your company details, adapt anything specific to your operation, and you have a complete, consistent social accountability system that is ready for audit. Every single document you receive is listed and explained further down this page, so you know precisely what you are buying before you spend anything.
The Social Manual and supporting documents address every SA8000 element: child labour, forced or compulsory labour, health and safety, freedom of association and collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration and the management system.
Nine ready policies, including harassment, grievance, equal opportunities, disciplinary action, HIV/AIDS, anti-bribery, ethical trading, collective bargaining and an integrated quality, environment, health and safety policy.
Six social committees, each with a terms of reference and a meeting record: grievance, harassment, quality control, safety, works and sexual harassment, so worker representation and the Social Performance Team are evidenced.
Twenty-one standard operating procedures covering working conditions, child and forced labour, discrimination, fundamental human rights, whistle-blowing, grievance and disciplinary action, plus safety operations for a real factory.
An SA8000 clause-wise audit question set, a worker interview question set, a social accountability compliance matrix and a risk analysis sheet, so you can self-assess before the certification audit.
The forms come with a completed sample so you can see how a record is meant to look, and every form is editable Word or Excel that you tailor to your own workplace.
Each tier answers a different question and is approved at a different level, and every requirement is owned in exactly one place.
No hidden contents and no vague claims. Here is the complete document set, with a short description of what each file is for and the clause it helps you meet.
