Site-Specific Safety Plan for subcontractors in Illinois.
You need a Site-Specific Safety Plan for a job in Illinois. You do not need a consultant, a three-day turnaround, or a Word file from 2014.
What GCs in Illinois check for
The GC's safety director checks it against the subcontract's safety exhibit before you can badge in: named competent persons with a basis, hazards matched to your scope, an emergency plan with the nearest hospital, a training and orientation section, and a signature page. A corporate manual does not pass; it has to name this project.
In Illinois, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Illinois section that says so.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; Illinois OSHA covers public employers.
- Chicago-area GCs commonly require OSHA 30 for supervisors and OSHA 10 for every worker on site.
Reviewers check for named people with a basis, hazards matched to scope, and a signature page. All three are built in, written to ANSI A10.33 project structure, OSHA 1926 subparts by hazard, and the USACE A-02 reviewer checklist.
Competent persons, the nearest hospital, the muster point, and the emergency chain are all in it, because those are the lines a reviewer checks first.

Questions from Illinois subs
- What do GCs in Illinois ask for in a site-specific safety plan?
- The same core elements across Chicago and Naperville: scope of work, a hazard analysis by task, controls for each hazard, named competent persons, an emergency plan with the nearest hospital, training and orientation, incident reporting, and a signed acceptance page. Federal OSHA covers private construction; Illinois OSHA covers public employers.
- Is a corporate safety manual enough?
- Usually not. Subcontract safety exhibits ask for a plan written for this project: the project name, the GC, the scope, the site's hazards, and the people on this crew. That is what the plan generates.
- Does a site-specific safety plan have to be state-specific in Illinois?
- Private construction in Illinois is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Chicago-area offices)); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Illinois has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
