How do I review a subcontractor's site-specific safety plan?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

Check that the subcontractor's site-specific safety plan (SSSP) meets OSHA standards and your project's safety requirements. Look for hazard assessments, safety procedures, emergency plans, and training protocols. Ensure it covers all tasks and equipment relevant to the job site.

Key points

  • Verify compliance with OSHA standards.
  • Ensure all hazards are identified and addressed.
  • Check for emergency response procedures.
  • Review training and communication plans.

Start by comparing the SSSP against OSHA guidelines. Make sure it clearly outlines how the subcontractor will manage risks specific to the job site. This includes fall protection, PPE requirements, and how they will conduct safety meetings. Don't forget to look at how they plan to handle incidents if they occur.
