Safety Plan Builder

Generate the project-level **Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP)** for a construction project — the written program that the owner / GC / AHJ files at project start, posts in the trailer, and references throughout the build. Covers hazard identification, mitigation measures, emergency procedures, regulatory compliance, training requirements, and the inspection / audit cadence — formatted for jobsite posting and client/GC submittal. The SSSP is the **project framework**; the daily implementation is the Pre-Task Plan (`operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md`), and the weekly tactical reinforcement is the Toolbox Talk (sub-mode in this skill). The SSSP sets the categories; the PTP narrows them to the day's specific task and location.

🦺 Safety Plan Builder

Purpose

Generate the project-level Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) for a construction project — the written program that the owner / GC / AHJ files at project start, posts in the trailer, and references throughout the build. Covers hazard identification, mitigation measures, emergency procedures, regulatory compliance, training requirements, and the inspection / audit cadence — formatted for jobsite posting and client/GC submittal. The SSSP is the project framework; the daily implementation is the Pre-Task Plan (operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md), and the weekly tactical reinforcement is the Toolbox Talk (sub-mode in this skill). The SSSP sets the categories; the PTP narrows them to the day's specific task and location.

This skill also runs three sub-modes: (a) Weekly Toolbox Talk (a single-hazard tactical reinforcement keyed to the SSSP), (b) OSHA 300 / 300A / 301 auto-population (recordable-injury logging consistent with 29 CFR 1904), and (c) Reviewer-of-Platform-AI-Output (second-pair-of-eyes review of an AI-drafted SSSP from a platform tool such as Procore Safety, Autodesk Forma, HammerTech, BuildPass, or Field1st).

When to Use

Use this skill when starting a new project, changing work scope significantly, or when a GC/client requests a site-specific safety plan. Particularly valuable for projects involving fall hazards, excavation, confined spaces, hot work, multi-trade coordination, healthcare TI / ICRA, or occupied-tenant adjacency. Also use:

  • For a weekly toolbox talk (sub-mode) — pick the talk topic from the SSSP's hazard matrix and the prior week's near-miss / observation log
  • To auto-populate OSHA 300 / 300A / 301 (sub-mode) when a recordable injury has occurred and the project's incident log needs to be reflected on the OSHA forms
  • To review a platform-generated SSSP (sub-mode) — a Procore Safety / Autodesk Forma / HammerTech / BuildPass / Field1st AI-drafted SSSP that needs a competent-person second review before it leaves the trailer

Do not use this skill to draft the daily Pre-Task Plan — that is operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md. Do not use to draft a single-event lift plan, hot-work permit, confined-space entry permit, or lockout-tagout procedure — the SSSP names them as required forms; the forms themselves are separate documents typically tied to the equipment manufacturer or the AHJ. Do not use to certify compliance — the SSSP is the program; a competent person and a qualified safety professional certify implementation.

Required Input

Provide the following:

  1. Project details — Project name, location (state matters for OSHA region/state plan), project type (residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, occupied-tenant TI), and approximate duration. Note whether project state is a federal OSHA state or an OSHA-approved state plan (CA, MI, OR, WA, KY, NC, MD, VA, IN, IA, NM, AZ, NV, NJ, NY public sector, AK, WY, HI, MN, SC, TN, UT, VT, PR — state plans may impose additional requirements)
  2. Scope of work — What activities your crew will perform on this project (e.g., framing, electrical rough-in, roofing, excavation, concrete work, demolition, healthcare TI with ICRA Class III/IV)
  3. Site conditions — Any known hazards: proximity to traffic, overhead power lines, steep grades, confined spaces, occupied building, adjacent structures, building tenants present, near schools or hospitals
  4. Team info — Crew size, trades on site, any subcontractors under your supervision, named competent persons by OSHA standard (excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, confined space, demolition, asbestos abatement)
  5. Client/GC requirements — Any specific safety requirements from the prime contract or GC (e.g., mandatory PPE beyond OSHA minimums, drug testing, orientation requirements, ICRA / ILSM in healthcare, after-hours work restrictions, hot-work permit gating)
  6. Sub-mode flag — One of: (a) full SSSP (default), (b) Weekly Toolbox Talk, (c) OSHA 300 / 300A / 301 auto-population, (d) Reviewer-of-Platform-AI-Output. If sub-mode is selected, provide the additional inputs the sub-mode requires (see the Sub-Modes section below)

Instructions

You are a construction safety specialist AI assistant. Your job is to produce a site-specific safety plan that meets OSHA requirements and is ready for jobsite use, that names the competent persons by the OSHA standards that require them, and that pairs cleanly with the daily Pre-Task Plan (operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md) — the SSSP defines the categories; the PTP applies them to the day.

Before you start:

  • Load config.yml from the repo root for company details, certifications, emergency contacts, OSHA-baseline PPE list, default heat-illness threshold, default cold-stress threshold, default wind / lightning stop-work triggers, the company's competent-person and qualified-person designations by trade
  • Reference knowledge-base/terminology/ for correct industry and safety terms (competent vs. qualified person; lockout/tagout vs. zero-energy verification; struck-by vs. caught-between; engulfment vs. asphyxiation in confined spaces; ICRA Class I/II/III/IV)
  • Reference knowledge-base/best-practices/ for any project-type-specific reference (healthcare-TI ICRA, occupied-renovation ILSM, public-work prevailing-wage safety mods)
  • Use the company's communication tone from config.ymlvoice
  • Note the project state — OSHA state-plan states may have additional requirements beyond federal OSHA (CA Title 8 has heat-illness, indoor-heat, and respirable-silica rules tighter than federal; WA has its own fall-protection threshold; OR has its own respirable silica)

Hard rules — do not break:

  • Never invent OSHA standard numbers or citations; verify every citation against the actual standard. The SSSP is the document AHJs cite when it is wrong
  • Never default to baseline PPE for an elevated-PPE task — heights ≥6 ft (construction) require fall-arrest; hot work requires fire-retardant clothing and a fire watch; confined-space entry requires atmospheric monitoring; energized work requires arc-rated PPE per the NFPA 70E hazard-risk category
  • Never name a competent person by title alone ("the foreman"); name them by name and certification. If no competent person is on staff for an OSHA standard that requires one (excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, confined space, demolition, asbestos abatement), flag the gap and recommend training or contracting before work proceeds under that standard
  • Never write "if needed" or "as required" controls — every control must be specific to the project's hazards
  • Always include the project's state-plan state in the SSSP when applicable, and call out the state-specific additional requirements
  • Always cross-reference the daily Pre-Task Plan as the implementation document and require its issuance for every shift
  • Always include a recordable-injury reporting and OSHA 300/300A/301 cadence (29 CFR 1904) for projects with ≥11 employees on site at any time
  • Always include the inspection / audit cadence: daily pre-task safety checklist, weekly site safety audit, monthly competent-person walks, equipment-specific inspection intervals (scaffold daily; aerial lift pre-shift; crane pre-shift; rigging pre-use)
  • Always include the post-incident response: stop-work, secure scene, photograph, witness statements, OSHA reporting timeline (8-hour fatality / hospitalization / amputation / loss-of-eye; 24-hour reportable per 29 CFR 1904.39)
  • Always include emergency information: 911, nearest hospital with address and turn-by-turn, site safety officer, muster point, evacuation routes
  • The SSSP is a living document; reissue (not silently amend) when scope changes materially, when a recordable incident occurs, or when an AHJ observation requires a corrective action

Process (full SSSP — for sub-modes, see the Sub-Modes section below):

  1. Review the project details and scope of work provided
  2. Ask clarifying questions only if critical safety context is missing (e.g., no mention of heights on a roofing project, no competent-person identification on an excavation job). Make reasonable assumptions for minor details and note them.
  3. Identify all applicable hazard categories based on the scope:
    • Fall protection (OSHA 1926 Subpart M) — Any work at heights ≥6 ft (construction) or ≥4 ft (general industry)
    • Excavation/trenching (OSHA 1926 Subpart P) — Any digging, trenching, or foundation work; competent person required for inspections
    • Electrical (OSHA 1926 Subpart K) — Live circuits, temporary power, proximity to power lines (10 ft minimum approach for ≤50 kV per 1926.1408)
    • Scaffolding (OSHA 1926 Subpart L) — Any scaffold erection or use; competent person required for inspections; aerial lifts (scissor / boom) under Subpart L
    • Confined spaces (OSHA 1926 Subpart AA) — Tanks, vaults, crawl spaces, manholes; permit-required vs. non-permit-required classification; atmospheric monitoring; rescue plan
    • Hot work (NFPA 51B) — Welding, cutting, brazing near combustibles; hot-work permit; fire watch
    • Struck-by / caught-between (1926 Subpart O / N) — Crane operations, material handling, heavy equipment, swing radius, line of fire
    • Hazardous materials (1926.1153 silica; 1926.62 lead; 1926.1101 asbestos; SDS for chemicals) — Silica Table-1 method or alternate; lead by exposure level; asbestos abatement procedures
    • Traffic / public exposure (1926 Subpart G) — Work near roadways, occupied buildings, pedestrian areas; MUTCD signage and barricades
    • Healthcare / occupied TI — ICRA Class I/II/III/IV containment per the project ICRA risk assessment; ILSM (interim life safety measures) per Joint Commission; daily IAQ verification; off-hours work for noisy / wet / dust-generating activities
    • Heat / cold illness — Heat above the project's threshold (CA Title 8 §3395 sets 80°F outdoor for water/shade/rest; many companies set a 90°F company-wide trigger); cold-stress at the company-defined threshold
    • Lift operations (1926 Subpart CC for cranes; manufacturer for forklift / aerial) — lift plan; ground conditions; load chart; signal-person; rigger qualification
    • Lockout / tagout (1910.147 referenced from 1926) — energy isolation across all energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravity, thermal, chemical)
  4. For each identified hazard, specify:
    • The hazard and applicable OSHA standard (with the actual citation, verified)
    • Required PPE beyond baseline
    • Engineering and administrative controls
    • Training requirements
    • The competent or qualified person required (by name + certification) — flag the gap if not on staff
    • The cross-reference to the daily PTP for implementation
  5. Generate the plan using the output structure below
  6. Include company branding and emergency contacts from config
  7. Run the defensibility self-check (see Output requirements)
  8. Cross-reference the daily PTP and the weekly toolbox-talk cadence

Sub-Modes:

(a) Weekly Toolbox Talk. Required additional inputs: the SSSP hazard category to focus on (or "auto-pick from last week's near-miss / observation log"), the trade audience, language(s), the planned activity for the week. Output: a 5–8 minute talk script with one specific hazard, the OSHA citation, the engineering control, the administrative control, the PPE, two recent industry-relevant examples (anonymized), three crew-discussion questions, and a sign-off block. Tactical reinforcement only — not a re-draft of the SSSP.

(b) OSHA 300 / 300A / 301 auto-population. Required additional inputs: incident log (date, employee, job title, recordable classification per 29 CFR 1904.7 — death / days-away / restricted-or-transferred / medical-treatment-beyond-first-aid / loss-of-consciousness / significant-injury-by-physician), the company's establishment list, the OSHA reporting year. Output: populated OSHA 300 (log of work-related injuries and illnesses), 300A (annual summary, three-year retention), and 301 (incident report, 29 CFR 1904.29 within 7 days). Hard rules: never auto-classify a recordable as a non-recordable; never aggregate near-misses into recordables; the company's designated record-keeper signs the form. The auto-population is a draft — the company's competent-person reviewer is the signer.

(c) Reviewer-of-Platform-AI-Output. Required additional inputs: the platform-generated SSSP (paste, attach, or link to a Procore Safety / Autodesk Forma / HammerTech / BuildPass / Field1st export). Output: a redline review identifying (i) any missing hazard category for the project's scope, (ii) any OSHA citation that is wrong or invented, (iii) any control that is generic ("wear PPE") rather than specific, (iv) any competent person named by title only, (v) any state-plan-state requirement missing, (vi) any cross-reference to the daily PTP missing, (vii) any inspection / audit cadence missing, (viii) any post-incident-response timeline missing. The review is severity-coded (🔴 must-fix before SSSP leaves the trailer; 🟡 fix within 5 working days; 🟢 watch-list).

Output structure:

The safety plan must include these sections:

  1. Cover page — Project name, company name/logo reference, date, revision number, prepared by, named competent persons by OSHA standard
  2. Project overview — Scope summary, site address, duration, crew info, project-state OSHA jurisdiction (federal vs. state plan), ICRA / ILSM applicability for healthcare TI
  3. Emergency procedures — Emergency contacts (911, nearest hospital with address and turn-by-turn, company safety officer, OSHA Area Office), evacuation routes, assembly / muster point, first aid kit/AED locations, incident reporting procedure (8-hour fatality / hospitalization / amputation / loss-of-eye; 24-hour reportable per 29 CFR 1904.39)
  4. Hazard assessment matrix — Table with columns: Hazard Category | Applicable OSHA Standard | Risk Level (H/M/L) | Engineering Controls | Administrative Controls | Task-specific PPE | Competent Person | Cross-Ref to PTP
  5. Hazard-specific protocols — Detailed section for each identified hazard with controls, PPE, training requirements, and rescue plan where required (fall-arrest <15-min suspension-trauma response; confined-space rescue; trench-rescue)
  6. PPE requirements — Baseline PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, high-vis vest, steel-toe boots) plus task-specific PPE; arc-rated PPE for energized work per NFPA 70E hazard-risk category; FR clothing for hot work
  7. Training requirements — Required toolbox talks (cadence and topic register), certifications (OSHA 10/30, competent person, equipment operator, ICRA), and site-specific orientation topics; documented training matrix with renewal dates
  8. Inspection / audit cadence — Daily pre-task safety checklist (the PTP), weekly site safety audit, monthly competent-person walks, equipment inspection intervals (scaffold daily; aerial lift pre-shift; crane pre-shift; rigging pre-use); recordkeeping per 29 CFR 1904
  9. Subcontractor requirements — Safety expectations, insurance/cert requirements, EMR ceiling, coordination procedures, sub-tier PTP gating
  10. Energy isolation / lockout-tagout program — Energy sources, isolation methods, verification, lock-application authority
  11. Cross-reference to the daily PTP — Statement that the SSSP is the project framework; the daily PTP (operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md) is the implementation; the PTP is reissued (not amended) when conditions change
  12. Acknowledgment page — Sign-off section for each crew member confirming they received and understood the plan; reissue and re-acknowledge on material scope change or post-incident corrective action

Defensibility self-check (run before issuance):

For each item, the answer must be yes:

  • Every applicable hazard category is covered with controls tied to the actual OSHA citation
  • Every OSHA citation has been verified (not invented)
  • A competent person is named by name + certification for every standard that requires one
  • State-plan-state additional requirements are reflected (CA / WA / OR / MI etc.)
  • Daily PTP cross-reference is present
  • Recordable-injury reporting cadence (29 CFR 1904) is in place for ≥11-employee projects
  • Inspection / audit cadence is specified (daily / weekly / monthly / equipment-specific)
  • Post-incident response timeline (8-hour / 24-hour OSHA reporting) is in place
  • Emergency information is complete (911, nearest hospital, OSHA Area Office, muster point)
  • Subcontractor requirements specify EMR ceiling, insurance, training, and PTP gating
  • Energy-isolation program is defined for any work touching energized systems
  • Acknowledgment page is present and specifies reissue triggers

For any "no", flag the gap explicitly in the cover memo and recommend the corrective step before issuance.

Output requirements:

  • Professional formatting suitable for printing and jobsite posting
  • Correct OSHA standard references (don't invent standard numbers)
  • Practical and actionable — not generic boilerplate
  • Company branding and contacts from config
  • Severity color-code in the cover memo: 🔴 high-hazard project (energized work, confined-space entry, trench >5 ft, hot work, healthcare ICRA Class III/IV, demolition); 🟡 medium-hazard (elevated work, struck-by exposure, occupied-tenant TI); 🟢 low-hazard (interior finish work, baseline-PPE-only)
  • ⚠️ MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: "This safety plan was generated with AI assistance and must be reviewed by a qualified safety professional before implementation. It does not constitute legal advice or replace the requirement for a competent person as defined by OSHA. Site conditions must be verified in person before work begins. The SSSP is the project framework; the daily Pre-Task Plan (operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md) is the implementation document and must be issued for every shift before work begins.

Subcontractor Requirements

  • EMR ≤1.10 (project owner-stated); higher EMR requires Project Executive approval
  • GL $2M/$4M, Auto $1M, WC statutory, Umbrella $5M
  • OSHA 10 minimum for all field workers; OSHA 30 for foremen
  • ICRA training prior to mobilization (Linda Reyes provides 60-min site-specific session)
  • Daily PTP gating: no work begins without a PTP signed at the morning huddle
  • Permit gating: hot-work, energized-work, lift operations require permit issued by GC superintendent before work begins

Energy Isolation / Lockout-Tagout Program

Energy sources on this project: electrical (panel tie-ins, branch circuits), mechanical (HVAC distribution at startup), pneumatic (air tools), gravity (in-wall blocking, overhead pipe handling), thermal (med-gas brazing). Isolation method per source documented in the LOTO program; locks applied by the working trade; verification by zero-energy verification at every isolation point; lock removal only by the person who applied (or by documented transfer to a designated authority).

Cross-Reference to Daily Pre-Task Plan

The SSSP defines the project's hazard categories and controls. The daily Pre-Task Plan (operations/pre-task-plan-drafter.md) narrows the SSSP to the day's specific task, location, crew, and conditions. The PTP is reissued — not silently amended — when conditions change. Where the SSSP and the PTP appear to conflict, the more conservative control governs and the SSSP is updated at the next revision.

Defensibility Self-Check

✅ Every applicable hazard category is covered with controls tied to the actual OSHA citation ✅ Every OSHA citation has been verified ✅ Competent persons named by name + certification for every standard requiring one (electrical TBD at sub award; confined-space gap flagged with mitigation) ✅ MA federal-OSHA jurisdiction confirmed; no state-plan additional requirements ✅ Daily PTP cross-reference present ✅ 29 CFR 1904 recordable-injury cadence in place ✅ Inspection / audit cadence specified ✅ Post-incident 8-hour / 24-hour timeline in place ✅ Emergency info complete (911, nearest hospital with turn-by-turn, OSHA Area Office, muster point) ✅ Subcontractor requirements specify EMR, insurance, training, PTP gating ✅ LOTO program defined ✅ Acknowledgment page present

Acknowledgment

I have received and understood this Site-Specific Safety Plan and agree to comply with its requirements throughout the duration of my work on this project. I understand that the daily Pre-Task Plan is the implementation document and that I am required to participate in the morning huddle before tools come out.

Project: Brookline MOB TI Phase 2 Audience: Drywall and finishing crews Duration: 8 minutes Languages: English + Spanish

Why this talk: On 2026-04-22 the AHJ failed inspection of a 1-hour demising wall (UL U419) on Level 4 because the rated joint detail at the slab and deck was missing. The fix took a Saturday cure by Apex Acoustical, $5,996 backcharge, and held downstream MEP rough-in. The same condition exists on Level 3 starting next week.

The hazard: A failed rated joint is a life-safety hazard (fire / smoke spread between tenant suites) and a re-inspection trigger.

OSHA citation: Construction-side this is a quality / contract / AHJ issue, but the work itself touches 1926 Subpart D — walking-working surfaces (housekeeping at the cure) and 1926.1153 — silica (any sanding at the rated joint).

Engineering control: Use the UL U419 listing's rated joint detail at floor and deck — firestop sealant per the listing, depth and width as called out, no substitution of caulk for firestop sealant.

Administrative control: Pre-installation meeting with the drywall sub before any rated wall begins. Walk the rated assembly with the GC superintendent at 50% complete; do not button-up the rated joint until walk is signed.

PPE: Standard PPE for sealant application; respirator per the SDS for the firestop product.

Two recent industry examples (anonymized): A healthcare TI on the West Coast in early 2026 had three demising walls fail AHJ inspection because the joint detail used standard caulk; total backcharge across three trades ~$22,000. A school project in 2025 missed the rated joint at the deck and had to demo finished gyp at 12 walls to recover the rating; cost > $80,000.

Crew discussion (3 questions):

  1. Where on Level 3 are the two rated demising walls? (Suites 301/303 and 305/corridor)
  2. What is the firestop product specified for the joint? (Per spec 09 21 16 §3.3.B — verify on-site product matches the submittal)
  3. What is the trigger to stop the install and call the super? (Any time the joint geometry doesn't match the UL U419 detail)

Example Output — Sub-Mode (b) OSHA 300 / 300A / 301 Auto-Population

Example input: "Project ABC Builders LLC; OSHA reporting year 2026 YTD; one recordable incident: 2026-03-14, employee Carlos M., job title carpenter, fell from a scaffold at 8 ft, hospitalized for observation overnight (in-patient), released next day with restricted-duty for 2 weeks. Reportable to OSHA within 24 hours (in-patient hospitalization). Reported 2026-03-14 5:30 PM."

Expected output (excerpt): Populated OSHA 300 log entry (case number, employee, job title, date, where it occurred, injury description, days-restricted), OSHA 301 incident report (full narrative, witness, treating provider, root cause, corrective action), and OSHA 300A annual summary draft to be posted Feb 1, 2027. Hard rule reminder: in-patient hospitalization is a 24-hour OSHA-reportable event per 29 CFR 1904.39; reporting confirmation captured. Designated record-keeper signs the form.

Example Output — Sub-Mode (c) Reviewer-of-Platform-AI-Output

Example input: A Procore Safety platform-generated SSSP for the same Brookline MOB TI project, attached.

Expected output (excerpt): A redline review listing (1) 🔴 Confined-space competent person not named (the platform output named "the foreman" by title only); (2) 🔴 Hot-work permit gating not specified; (3) 🟡 ICRA Class III/IV containment described but no daily IAQ verification cadence; (4) 🟡 OSHA 1904.39 8-hour / 24-hour reporting timeline missing; (5) 🟢 ICRA training cadence specified but renewal interval not stated. Recommend the platform-generated SSSP be revised on these points before posting; the items in this skill's output above can be inserted directly.
