Site-Specific Safety Plan for subcontractors in Louisiana.

Pre-mob paperwork due and the Site-Specific Safety Plan is the one holding up the badge? Answer ten questions and it is written for the project, not copied from a template.

What GCs in Louisiana 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.

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

  • Federal OSHA standards apply to private construction.
  • Petrochemical owners along the river require ISNetworld or Avetta grades with a written safety program on file.

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.

Nothing here is OSHA-approved, because nothing is. What you get is a plan that names the right people, matches the scope, and is signed by you.

Questions from Louisiana subs

What do GCs in Louisiana ask for in a site-specific safety plan?
The same core elements across New Orleans and Baton Rouge: 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 standards apply to private construction.
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 Louisiana?
Private construction in Louisiana is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Baton Rouge area office)). Your plan is written for the project address, and where Louisiana 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.
