Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP)
The Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) has undergone a significant upgrade to meet the new legislation
The SSSP is an agreement between businesses working on a specific site that determines how health and safety will be managed. When used correctly, it ensures that relevant site information is regularly updated and safety is monitored, and will help all businesses involved comply with New Zealand's Health and Safety at Work Act (2015).
Whilst the SSSP is made up of a number of forms, the most important document is the agreement itself, and it's this part that must be completed first. Read more about the SSSP Agreement here.
