Site Specific Safety Plan Contractor Review

Use this Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) Contractor Review checklist to assess the adequacy of contractor safety documentation before work begins. Confirm project scope and contacts, identify high-risk and notifiable works, and verify risk registers, controls, and required permits. Check emergency response planning, hazardous substances registers and SDS, and minimum PPE. Review induction, training and competency records, supervision of untrained workers, and environmental controls for noise, dust, fumes, and smoke. Ensure subcontractor SSSPs are included, and that consultation practices (prestarts, toolbox talks, safety meetings) are defined with evidence. Validate monitoring and review processes such as site inspections and plant maintenance, along with incident reporting, investigations, serious harm notifications, and corrective actions. Confirm procedures for waste management, security, traffic management, and asbestos where applicable.
