Site-Specific Safety Plan for subcontractors in New Jersey.
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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a New Jersey section that says so.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; PEOSH covers public employers.
- New Jersey GCs on public work expect an OSHA 10 card for every worker.
The skeleton is authored once against ANSI A10.33 project structure, OSHA 1926 subparts by hazard, and the USACE A-02 reviewer checklist and reviewed against the checklists GCs actually use; the generated text only writes the connective paragraphs.
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 New Jersey subs
- What do GCs in New Jersey ask for in a site-specific safety plan?
- The same core elements across Newark and Jersey City: 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; PEOSH 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 New Jersey?
- Private construction in New Jersey is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Avenel, Hasbrouck Heights, Marlton, and Parsippany area offices)); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where New Jersey 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.
