Site-Specific Safety Plan for subcontractors in Kentucky.

If the subcontract's safety exhibit lists a Site-Specific Safety Plan, the safety director will read it. Give them one written for the job, not a manual with the name changed.

What GCs in Kentucky 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.

Kentucky OSH Program enforces construction safety for private employers in Kentucky; the plan says which rules apply and applies the stricter one where the state adds to federal OSHA.

  • Kentucky enforces its own program, which adopts federal 1926 with state additions.

The structure follows ANSI A10.33 project structure, OSHA 1926 subparts by hazard, and the USACE A-02 reviewer checklist, so the sections a reviewer expects are in the order they expect them.

It says on page one that the plan was prepared from your answers and that you adopt and implement it. Reviewers trust that more than a badge that no agency issues.

Questions from Kentucky subs

What do GCs in Kentucky ask for in a site-specific safety plan?
The same core elements across Louisville and Lexington: 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. Kentucky enforces its own program, which adopts federal 1926 with state additions.
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 Kentucky?
Kentucky runs its own state plan, enforced by Kentucky OSH Program (KY OSH), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Kentucky 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.
