Purpose and Scope
-
A Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) is an agreement between businesses working on a specific site that determines how health and safety will be managed. An understood and well implemented SSSP ensures relevant site information, hazards and risks are regularly checked and monitored.
This SSSP is a live document, and therefore must be continually updated during the project, to ensure it reflects changes to site hazards. When the SSSP is implemented correctly, regularly updated and safety is monitored, all businesses involved comply with New Zealand's Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
Tetro LTD have prepared, and will continue to monitor and adapt this SSSP throughout the course of the project.

Hazard Management
-
Risks to health and safety arise from people being exposed to hazards (anything that can cause harm). Risk has two components – the likelihood that it will occur and the consequences (degree of harm) if it happens. Tetro LTD manages risk in line with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
Hazard management is a three-step process.
Step One: Hazard Identification.
Step Two: Risk Assessment.
Step Three: Control of Hazards / Risks. -
Hazard Identification
Risk management involves identifying hazards and dealing to those which pose the highest risk first. It is important that workers are involved in the process of identifying hazards, as they have a day-to-day working knowledge of the site, which is invaluable.
Hazards should be considered within the following areas:
• Physical (e.g. noise, vibration)
• Biological (e.g. bacterial infections)
• Chemical (e.g. asbestos, lead)
• Ergonomic (e.g. manual handling)
• Psychosocial (including bullying, tight deadlines and other stress factors)
As hazards occur from general work processes and from the work itself, previous accident, incident and near miss reports are to be considered while identifying new hazards. -
Risk Assessment
Once the hazards have been identified, a risk assessment will be undertaken on each hazard. Risk assessment enables Tetro LTD to identify which hazards need to be minimised or eliminated.
The first step is to try to eliminate the risk so far as is reasonably practicable.
This can be done by removing the source of the harm. Although, this is not always possible. Hazards are a part of day-to-day work on a construction site, and therefore hazards must be minimised instead. Full Risk Assessment documents are kept in the site file. -
Controlling Risks
Once all hazards have been assessed, control methods and measures need to be put in place. Workers need to be made aware of the potential risks, what the control measures to manage the risks are and why it’s important to use them, and how to apply them.

Incident / Accident Management
-
Incidents, accidents and near misses which occur onsite, must be reported and subsequently investigated. All incidents, accidents and near misses are to be reported to the Site Supervisor, who must then complete an incident, accident or near miss form via SafetyCulture.
Serious harm, significant near miss or any notifiable events are to be reported to WorkSafe New Zealand in line with Tetro incident reporting processes. The incident scene is to be preserved in line with legislative requirements until clearance from WorkSafe, the Police if applicable, and subsequently Tetro Management has been issued.
