Project Safety Representatives and Managers

During the construction phase it will be important to do the following:

  • Continue to identify the impact of changes on the worksite in safety and health of workers involved in the project.
  • Continue to provide sufficient information on health and safety on the worksite to supervisors and those who will train workers on safety, so they can conduct the necessary training if needed.
Each construction project should have a safety manager.
  • Cooperate and coordinate safety and health with the subcontractors and others throughout each phase of the project.
  • Provide advice and information regarding the general contractor's health and safety plan to everyone involved with the project.
  • Ensure the general contractor and all subcontractors continue to carry out their duties and responsibilities to regularly submit activity reports and hold worksite safety meeting.
