One plan per job, built from your written program: scope, site contacts, competent persons, the hazards by phase, emergency information and the crew's sign-offs. The GC gets it before you mobilize, not after the first walk-through.

What's in your site-specific safety plan

No OSHA standard asks for a document called a site-specific safety plan. The general contractor or the owner asks for it in the contract, usually before anyone gets a badge. Each part draws on rules you already follow under 29 CFR 1926. These are the parts, and the rule behind each.

Project and scope

The project name, address, GC and owner exactly as the contract writes them, the dates, and a plain paragraph on what your crew will do and with what equipment.

From the contract

Site contacts

The project manager, superintendent, foreman and safety contact for this job, so the GC and your crew know who to call.

From your crew list

Competent persons

The competent persons you designate for this job, by hazard: excavation, scaffolds, fall protection, silica. Each one can spot the hazards and has the authority to fix them on the spot.

1926.20(b)(2), 1926.32(f)

Hazards by phase

Mobilization through demobilization: the main hazards and controls in each phase, and the JHA from your library that covers it. Only the sections for hazards on this job.

1926.21(b)(2); the job's JHAs

Emergency information

The nearest emergency room and the route from the gate, who calls 911, the muster point, the first aid kit and who holds a first aid card. Arranged before the project starts.

1926.50(b), (c), (f); 1926.35

Training and orientation

The site orientation in the crew's language, with the sign-in, and the cards the job needs, like OSHA 10 and 30 and the fall protection training record.

1926.21(b)(2), 1926.503(b)

Incident reporting

Who the crew tells, who tells the GC and by when, and the calls to OSHA: within 8 hours for a death, within 24 hours for an in-patient hospitalization, an amputation or the loss of an eye.

1904.39(a)

Sign-offs

The crew's sign-offs that they went over the plan, the owner or officer who approved it, the superintendent who will run it, the date and a revision log.

Many GC exhibits ask for them

Read the full site-specific safety plan guide, or see a filled prequal packet, the stack a GC asks to see next to the plan.

The OSHA rules the plan pulls from

An SSSP is a contract document, not one OSHA standard. Every section rests on a duty you already have. Under 1926.16 the prime contractor keeps overall responsibility for the work it subcontracts, which is why the GC reads your plan.

Programs and inspections

Start and keep up the programs Part 1926 needs, with frequent and regular inspections of the site, materials and equipment by competent persons you designate.

1926.20(b)(1), (2)

Medical help before the job starts

Prompt medical attention arranged before the project begins, a person with a first-aid card on site when no clinic or hospital is reasonably close, and the site's location posted where 911 can't get it from the phone.

1926.50(b), (c), (f)

Emergency action plan

Where a standard calls for one: escape procedures, accounting for everyone, rescue and medical duties, and how to report an emergency. It may be oral with 10 or fewer employees.

1926.35

Excavation

Utilities located before digging, a protective system, and a competent person's inspection before work starts and after every rain.

1926.651(b), (k); 1926.652(a)

Silica

The tasks on this job from your written exposure control plan, the controls for each, and the competent person who runs it.

1926.1153(g)

Hazard communication

The chemicals and safety data sheets for this job, and how other employers on the site get access to your SDSs.

1926.59, 1910.1200(e)(2)
Three pages from the construction sample pack: a job hazard analysis, a toolbox talk record and a trench inspection

Questions

Anything else: safetyteam@29safety.com, or book a free 15-minute call.

Does OSHA require a site-specific safety plan?
Not by that name. No section of 29 CFR 1926 requires a site-specific safety plan. The standards require specific written programs when specific hazards are present, like the silica exposure control plan (1926.1153(g)). The SSSP is required by contract, by the general contractor or the owner, and those programs are what you build it from.
Can we use the GC's template?
Yes, and usually you should. Most exhibits say to use their template or a format that meets or exceeds it, and the reviewer checks your plan against their headings in their order. Fill it from your written program and your JHAs so the content is yours. Harli can also read the contract for your site plan.
Who signs the plan?
An owner or officer of your company who has authority to commit it, and the superintendent or foreman who will run the job. Many GCs also have each of your employees, including lower-tier subs, sign that they read the plan at orientation.
Does 29Safety guarantee the GC accepts our plan?
No, and be careful of any software that says it does. Each GC reviews differently. 29Safety builds the plan from your written program and the job's JHAs, with the rule cited so you can check it. You review it, and your people run it on the job.
How long does it take?
Your first written program is ready about 10 minutes after you sign up, and each site plan builds from it. Edit anything you want before you send it.
