Construction Safety Plan Template

A construction safety plan documents how a contractor will control the hazards of construction work, either company-wide (a written safety program) or for one project (a site-specific safety plan). Most GC and prequalification requests for a "construction safety plan" mean the site-specific version: hazard analysis, controls, responsibilities, emergency procedures, and OSHA citations for one job.

Which document are they actually asking for?

When a GC says "send your safety plan", they usually want a site-specific safety plan for the project you are bidding or starting. When ISNetworld, Avetta, or an insurer says it, they usually want your company-wide written safety program. Ask which one, or check whether the request names a project.

✓ Project named in the request: site-specific safety plan ($49, per project)

Common questions

▸Does OSHA require a written construction safety plan?

OSHA requires accident prevention programs under 29 CFR 1926.20, and specific written programs for certain hazards (like hazard communication). Beyond OSHA, GCs, prequal portals, and insurers demand written plans as a condition of work, which is the pressure most contractors actually feel.

▸Can I reuse the same plan on every job?

A company-wide safety program is reusable. A site-specific plan is not: reviewers check that the site address, scope, and hazards match the actual project.
