Create a Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP)

Main contractors and subcontractors develop a SSSP to outline how health and safety will be managed on a job.

It records the basic health and safety actions that companies and individuals will need to follow, including:

• Identifying and managing hazards.
• Reporting accidents and incidents.
• Training or supervising employees.
• Preparing for emergencies, including first aid and rescue plans.
• Providing opportunities for employees to be involved in safety procedures.

Choose the SSSP pack you need below.

In your pack are all the forms you’ll need to show due diligence and meet your compliance requirements. The forms can be filled electronically or printed and completed by hand.

Our guides explain the specific forms included in your pack and provide simple advice on the processes you need to follow to establish and maintain a safe construction site.

This pack is for you if you're:

• Working under your own agreement/contract with your client.
• Working under your own health and safety management systems, processes and procedures.
• Providing evidence of your own due diligence.

If you're a main contractor (PCBU 1), you can use our job registration form to set expectations with your subcontractors before work starts.

This form does not replace your Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) – use the job registration form to share which site-specific safety information you require, including:

• Site arrangement – logistics and communications.
• Mandatory information required – including which Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) pack you prefer.
• Any other forms required.

There's also space to add information about any hazardous conditions, processes, equipment, materials and substances that could be used by others onsite.
