What is a Preliminary Health and Safety plan?

A Preliminary Health and Safety plan is a document created before work begins on a construction project. It identifies potential hazards associated with the project, and lists the steps that must be taken to eliminate or control those hazards.

The specific requirements of a Preliminary Health and Safety plan will vary depending on the jurisdiction in which the project is located. However, most plans will include the following information:

* A list of all potential hazards associated with the project

* A description of the steps that will be taken to eliminate or control those hazards

* A list of the personal protective equipment (PPE) that will be required for workers on the project

* A plan for how the project will be managed to ensure the safety of workers

* A list of emergency contacts

Preliminary Health and Safety plans are an essential tool for ensuring the safety of workers on construction projects. By identifying potential hazards and developing a plan to eliminate or control those hazards, construction companies can help to prevent injuries and fatalities.
