Site-Specific Safety Plan for subcontractors in New York.
You need a Site-Specific Safety Plan for a job in New York. You do not need a consultant, a three-day turnaround, or a Word file from 2014.
What GCs in New York 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.
New York GCs, especially in New York City, review subcontractor plans before badging. The plan is built to pass that review the first time.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; New York's Labor Law 240 and 241 add owner and contractor duties for elevation-related work.
- New York City major buildings need a Site Safety Plan from a DOB-licensed Site Safety Manager and SST cards for every worker; we do not prepare those.
- New York requires OSHA 10 for workers on public work contracts over $250,000.
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 New York subs
- What do GCs in New York ask for in a site-specific safety plan?
- The same core elements across New York City and Long Island: 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; New York's Labor Law 240 and 241 add owner and contractor duties for elevation-related work.
- 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 York?
- Private construction in New York is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (multiple area offices); NYC Department of Buildings for site safety plans); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where New York 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.
