The Site Specific

Safety Plan (SSSP)

is a communication

tool between

subcontractors and

main contractors

and should be

completed before

starting a

construction

project. When used

correctly, it ensures

that relevant site

information is

regularly updated

and safety is

monitored.

A SSSP helps record the basic health and safety actions companies need to do,

such as:

• Hazard management and identification

• Accidents and incident investigation

• Train and/or supervise staff

• Emergency ready eg. Prepared with first aid / rescue plan

• Responsibilities:

- Provide opportunities for employees to be involved - Employees have a responsibility for their own safety

For managing hazards:

A Safety Plan to Suit Your Job

Your Specific Safety Plan Checklist contains Yes or No check boxes.

Where there is a Yes/No option, a response must be given.

Tick the Actioned box when the subcontractor has completed the required action.

All items must be responded to in order to sign off the Site Specific Safety Plan

(SSSP).

Once the SSSP is signed off, site access can be granted to the subcontractor.

The person who is designated to act on behalf of your business for safety on site may be a dedicated safety representative, your supervisor, or one of your employees.

Definition of a Principal

A person who engages any person (other than as an employee) to do any work for

gain or reward. A principal can be a:

• client who directly contracts a main contractor or subcontractors

• a main contractor who engages subcontractors • subcontractors who engage other subcontractors • self-employed persons who engage subcontractors.

Definition of a Person Who Controls a Place of Work A person who controls a place of work can be a person who:

• owns, leases, subleases or is in the possession of/occupies a place of work

• owns, leases or subleases plant or equipment used in the place of work.

Definition of a Person A person can be a legal person such as an employer or a natural person such as

an employee.

A person can be:

• the Crown

• a group of people who act as an individual such as a company, a body

corporate or the Crown • an employee

• a self-employed person.

Persons in control of the workplace. The subcontractor must identify the person

who has control of the workplace and confirm this on form 1 of this SSSP. This

will often be the project’s principal, but if the work is being done directly for a

client on their premises, then the employer in control of the site may be the client or building owner. The people in control of the workplace, and their site representative, have the overall responsibility for health and safety management

for the site, which will include managing most of the items in the SSSP Checklist

and co-ordination of all trades’ health and safety.

All hazards to be brought onto the site or created during the course of the work

must be identified and controlled. The standard Task Analysis Worksheet may be used to analyse the various tasks within your trade work, identify the significant safety hazards and detail the method of control. These sheets must be attached and forwarded with your SSSP.

A Hazardous Substance/Dangerous Goods Register must be maintained with the

appropriate Safety Data Sheet (SDS). If specific emergency processes need to be set up, this will be addressed on the Task Analysis Worksheet to be incorporated into the project emergency planning and evacuation processes.

Communication/Employee Participation (Toolbox Safety Meeting Minutes)

On-site safety requirements must be communicated to all site personnel. This

will include the notification of hazards brought onto the site or created during the

course of the work. Do this by posting hazards on the main site hazard board, or advising staff during regular safety meetings. The aim is to ensure that all workers on site are aware of the hazards as they arise and are advised when they

no longer exist. If English is the second language of any of your employees, then you must maintain a liaison person on site who can effectively communicate between them and the site management team.

Toolbox meetings should be run on a regular basis and run for 10-15 minutes. The

frequency of meetings will depend on the size, nature and location of the site. Some hazardous activities could require daily meetings, while often a

weekly/fortnightly meeting will suffice. Safety meetings for workers should be short and to the point.

Why do we run Safety Meetings?

• Inform workers of changes to company procedures

• Identify new hazards and review existing hazards

• Develop/review hazard controls

• Discuss/review accident and incident data

• Employee participation

• Communication

• Discuss programs

• Develop/review work processes

• Short training sessions

Record Meetings

Details of meetings should be recorded and kept on file. Record meeting dates,

attendees and discussion items. Show follow-up items from previous hazards, accidents and incidents.

Emergencies(Emergency Plan; Emergency Evacuation Plan)

In the event of a site evacuation, the Emergency Evacuation Alarm will be sounded and your employees must promptly evacuate the site. The site

management team will notify you of your assembly point at the time of your

induction onto the site.

Some emergencies that you may need to prepare for, and have a procedure to deal with, include spillage of hazardous substances, serious harm accidents to

your staff, and rescue of a fall arrest victim. Each potential emergency you

identify under your hazard management process must have an emergency plan and procedure prepared and included with the hazard management information submitted so that any effect it may have on the Emergency Evacuation Plan can

be identified and rectified.

You must have a person on site trained in First Aid, with a current valid

certificate, in case of an injury or accident.

Accident/Incident Reporting

All accidents and incidents must be reported immediately to site management.

Accident and Incident Investigation Reports are to be given to site management as soon as is practicable. You must also report serious harm accidents directly

to Provincial or State agencies. In the case of serious harm accidents, the scene

must not be disturbed until a full and complete accident investigation has been undertaken.

Safety Inspections and Safety Reviews

You are required to carry out regular, documented safety inspections of your own

work areas while on site, at the intervals and as per the prime contractors safety manual. Copies of the Accident and Incident Investigation Report must be given

to site management for discussion at safety meetings. Any recommended/completed corrective action will be advised at these meetings.

Training/Induction

All persons starting work on this site must go through a formal induction process. During this process, safety rules and various site specific issues will be discussed.

Please supply a list of all your employees working on this site, along with their access card numbers and expiry dates at the time of the induction. All employees will be expected to show their Site Safe access cards at induction.

You will need to provide and maintain evidence of your employees’ skills training, e.g. trade qualifications, certificate of competency, etc.

Sign-off/Approval

Before any work commences on site, the subcontractor will sign off their SSSP and submit it with all attachments to the principal/site management for approval.

The principal/site management will review the plan using the Site Specific Safety

Plan Evaluation and return it to the subcontractor if not complete, or request a

meeting with the subcontractor to review and action any deficiencies.

Once all the evaluation checks have been satisfactorily agreed, the principal/site

management will sign and date the SSSP confirming approval and return a signed

copy to the subcontractor for their record.

Subcontractors

The subcontractor must have a process in place for approving their own

subcontractors’ safety systems. If the subcontractor contracts out some of their

work to another subcontractor, then the site management must be notified in a schedule attached to the subcontractor’s SSSP of the names and contact details

for all their subcontractors.

Site Specific Safety Plan Evaluation This evaluation process assumes that the contractor has already submitted their

health and safety systems to the client and that the client has approved these systems. The purpose of this evaluation is intended to provide the client with confidence that the contractor is aware of their responsibilities and has

procedures in place that meet these responsibilities on this specific project.
