Project health and safety plans - civil and construction sector

Leanne Summers

Needing help from H&S Managers/Advisors working in the civil or construction sector, as I'm analyising resources and job responsibilities within our business.

Who in your team is responsible for writing and approving project health and safety plans (SSSPs)?

Do your Project Teams prepare your project H&S plans and then provide to your H&S Manager/Advisor for review/approval?

Or, is your H&S Manager/Advisor tasked with fully reviewing all project documents (which takes a lot of time) and preparing the plans from start to finish before providing the plans to your project teams?

We are in Civil construction and the PM's complete the SSSP from a template. I then review/approve.

Thanks Leah

I had a project team want me to do the whole thing for them once. I said absolutely I would, but then they would have to do EVERY SINGLE THING that was in there and not complain about any of it.
They decided the "them prep, me approve" model was a much better idea!

Really depends on the set up for the company, but generally speaking i have found that SSSP's done in conjuntion work the best. I.e. there will be parts that the project guys needs to answer for you and part of it that you will need to have input into. What ever happens both parties need to sign off on it.

I prepare the SSSPs, but I work with the Project Managers / Foreman on the specific details, hazards on site etc. Myself, Project Managers and Foreman all sign off on the SSSP before it gets stored on site. Same process for our JSEAs
