It's great that you asked for guidance; I really appreciate it. It shows your intent to take action and strive for the best in your endeavors. I consider it my duty to offer help to young individuals to the best of my ability. It's a positive mindset. On the other hand, if you're only looking to copy without putting in effort, it's not a positive approach, and you won't succeed as a professional in safety. I prefer not to assist those who show such tendencies.
Creating a Safety Manual for a Foundry
The foundry industry involves hazardous activities, but with proper precautions, it can be made the safest. To develop a safety manual, one must understand the specific type of foundry and its operations.
Activities such as melting and handling in a steel foundry differ significantly from those in a non-ferrous foundry like aluminum, magnesium, or copper/brass, leading to varying hazards.
Therefore, specify the type of foundry you are dealing with, the furnaces used, and details on different sections like storage and handling of sand and raw materials, pattern making, core making, molding, melting, curing, fettling, cranes, radiography (Gamma ray), lab facilities, healthcare, and more.
Unlike steel or aluminum foundries, magnesium foundries pose serious health risks as well.
Provide as much detail as possible, and we can proceed from there. You will certainly receive the necessary assistance in creating the manual.

I used to manage the safety function for a foundry and suggest you start by examining the presentations below, which have two excellent safety presentations: “foundry safety” on SlideShare.
Apart from these, you will need to examine your local legislative obligations, checklists, etc., to proactively manage the risks.

Dear Rajkumar,
I appreciate your request for guidance. It demonstrates your intention to take action and strive for excellence in your endeavors. I believe it is my responsibility to offer help to young individuals. This positive mindset is commendable.
Conversely, if your aim is merely to copy without putting in effort, it does not bode well for success as a professional in safety management. I am not inclined to assist those with such attitudes.

Sir, thank you for your kind response. I will endeavor to create a safety manual tailored to the CI & DI based foundry industry with an induction furnace. I will share it in this forum to receive valuable feedback.
