Construction <em>Safety Plans</em>

Know the Hazards

Quick answer: The biggest construction safety risks are falls from heights, struck-by incidents, electrocution, and caught-in hazards – the four leading causes of serious construction incidents. A compliant construction safety program must include site-specific fall protection plans, subcontractor coordination procedures, and documented worker orientations.

Risks in Construction

Falls from Heights

The leading cause of construction fatalities – roofs, scaffolds, ladders, and unprotected edges.

Struck-By Hazards

Moving equipment, falling materials, and vehicle traffic in congested site conditions.

Electrical & Trenching

Live systems, temporary power, and excavation collapses – the "fatal four" round out here.

Multi-Employer Exposure

Shared sites mean shared liability – your program must cover subcontractor coordination.

Silica & Air Quality

Concrete cutting, demolition dust, and confined-space air hazards with long latency periods.

Workforce Turnover

New workers every project – orientation and training documentation must keep pace.

The Rulebook

Regulatory Requirements

Construction is one of the most heavily regulated sectors. Your program needs to address the standards inspectors actually cite:

WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation – construction operations
Fall protection plans & site-specific procedures
WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 11 & 20 (BC)
Prime contractor coordination requirements
COR / Certificate of Recognition programs

How We Help

Site-specific plans Written for each project, not recycled from the last bid package.
Subcontractor alignment Orientation packages and coordination procedures that protect you as prime.
COR readiness Gap reviews and documentation support to earn or keep your Certificate of Recognition.

Case Study Construction

A construction company with 50 employees needed to pass a prime contractor audit…

They'd failed their previous audit on documentation gaps – no site-specific fall plans and missing orientation records. We rebuilt their program, created project-specific templates their supers could complete in minutes, and trained the field team.

Result: Passed the next audit with zero deficiencies and qualified for two new GC bid lists within 60 days.
