This Project Safety Plan outlines the (Construction Company entity) (referred to as
(Construction Company)) recommendations regarding the safety-related obligations and
responsibilities of the various entities performing services for (Client Name) (referred to as
the "owner") at which (Construction Company) is acting as the owner's construction
manager, prime contractor, or a combination of the two.
This Project Safety Plan is to be used where (Construction Company) is acting as (a) the
owner's construction manager, managing the construction activities of the numerous
contractors with whom the owner has contracted, either directly or through (Construction
Company) as its procurement agent, or (b) as the owner's prime contractor, with segments
of construction being provided by subcontractors. A combination Safety Plan can be
developed for projects on which (Construction Company) is acting in a "hybrid" role, i.e.,
constructing certain segments of a project while managing the balance of the construction
being performed by third-party contractors.
Thus, an important benefit to the owner of the Project Safety Plan is the application of
(Construction Company) expertise in the area of safety to the activities of third-party
contractors and subcontractors performing construction at the project site.
(Construction Company) expertise in this regard is made available to the owner in two
major aspects. First, (Construction Company) provides recommendations regarding the
contractual provisions which obligate each contractor or subcontractor to perform its
construction activities with due regard for safety and impose meaningful sanctions in the
event of a contractor's or subcontractor's non-compliance with its safety obligations.
Second, (Construction Company) notifies each contractor or subcontractor of non-
compliance and enforces the available contractual sanctions, either as the owner's
construction manager or as the prime contractor.

Contractor/Subcontractor Safety Plan
In the formation of the construction contracts between the owner and each third-party
contractor, or (Construction Company) and its subcontractors, (Construction Company)
recommends the inclusion of general conditions entitled "Safety" and "Termination for
Default," plus appropriate indemnification and insurance requirements. The general
condition entitled "Safety" places upon each contractor or subcontractor the sole and
complete obligation to provide a safe working environment for both its employees and the
employees of the other entities at the job site, and to comply with the
"Contractor's/Subcontractor's Safety Obligations" section of the Safety Plan. The general
condition entitled "Termination for Default" provides (Construction Company) acting as the
owner's construction manager or as the prime contractor, the contractual sanctions by
which to enforce those obligations. The Safety Plan describes the Contractor/Sub-
contractor safety obligations and how (Construction Company) uses the appropriate
contract/subcontract language to facilitate compliance.
