Site-specific safety for contractors

Each jobsite comes with its own unique hazards, challenges, and safety requirements.

Posting a site-specific safety plan helps ensure everyone understands the risks, expectations, and procedures for working safely.

A documented safety plan serves as a valuable communication tool. It helps ensure supervisors, employees, subcontractors, and visitors have access to important information and understand their roles in maintaining a safe worksite. When everyone is working from the same information, safety expectations become clearer and response times will improve when an emergency occurs[AD1.1].

Our site-specific safety planning sheet makes it easy to organize critical information for each project, including:

  • Jobsite details and project information
  • Emergency contact and contractor contact information
  • Locations of first aid kits, AEDs, fire extinguishers, and other medical equipment
  • Emergency response procedures
  • Site hazards and safety considerations

Download the sheet and start using it at your jobsites today to help create a safer workplace.
