SSSP - Site Specific Safety Plan（Part 1-3）

Aug 31, 2026

Site Specific Safety Plan（SSSP）template for construction projects at DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), defining required and conditional sections across three parts. It guides project governance and emergency information, establishes subcontractor health and safety policy statements and regulatory acknowledgements, and details safety briefings and inspection expectations. The plan emphasizes tailoring each SSSP to project hazards using a graded approach aligned with PUB 3000, requires Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documentation, and sets submission for LBNL EHS and Project Manager concurrence before work commences.

Each construction project (contract) requires its own SSSP; therefore, each SSSP must be tailored specifically to the project being conducted. This template is provided in electronic format to enable copy-and-paste functions for those subcontractors whose basic data remains unchanged, yet tailor the hazard and controls information to the particular activities/materials/location of the project at-hand. LBNL recommends using a graded approach in the development of SSSP’s. This approach determines the level of rigor for implementing the work planning and control attributes based on the importance/significance of the activity in relation to the associated hazards and consequences. The level of detail within each SSSP and corresponding JHA(s) should be commensurate with the size, complexity and risk level of the construction project. For larger projects, the prime subcontractor may either flow down this requirement to each of its subcontractors; or serve as a control and coordination point, requiring all subcontractors’ activities to be conducted under the prime subcontractor’s solitary SSSP. LBNL’s “PUB 3000” is the governing document that supports the SSSP, and must be utilized when completing this SSSP to ensure that LBNL-specific requirements are being met and incorporated into the project planning process. Your Completed SSSP is to be submitted to the LBNL facilities group for review and concurrence by the LBNL Project Manager and EHS prior to performing work. This SSSP is intended to be a living document; updated as necessary throughout a project as information changes or as the project progresses (e.g. – as additional Job Hazard Analyses are developed, subcontractors added, etc.). There are three parts to this SSSP template. All of the sections in Part 1 are required to be completed for each construction project, regardless of the size or complexity. All of the sections in Part 2 are required to be completed, but checked and filled in as applicable for the particular project’s scope of work. Enter information in all of the fill-in blocks that are applicable. For those that are not applicable, enter “N/A” or other suitable explanation. An Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Part 3, is required for all projects, regardless of the size, scope or complexity of work. This is the heart of the project’s safety information, and acts as a work control document. Every project will have at least one definable construction activity, and therefore at least one JHA. Depending upon the complexity of the project, one or several JHAs may need to be completed. In some cases, JHAs may need to be staged, in coordination with the initiation of the various phases of a project. - Part 1 – Project Governance / Emergency Information - Section 1 – Project Description and Emergency Contacts Fill in the names and telephone numbers of the contact personnel for this particular project. In accordance with 10 CFR 851, the Subcontractor’s designated on-site safety representative must be knowledgeable of the project’s hazards and have the authority to correct unsafe conditions or behavior. Attach the qualifications of your safety representative for this project (see section 9). If you have subcontractors performing work on this project, list their contact information. Update as necessary throughout the project. Note: Some projects of long duration or complexity may be required to develop an emerge

FAQs

What is the purpose of the SSSP at LBNL?

The SSSP provides project-specific construction safety planning and emergency information, aligned with LBNL requirements and supporting work planning and control.

How should each project’s SSSP be prepared?

Each construction project requires its own SSSP, tailored to the activities, materials, and locations involved. LBNL recommends using a graded approach so the rigor and detail match the hazards and risk level.

Are Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) required for all projects?

Yes. An JHA (Part 3) is required for all projects regardless of size or scope, and every project must include at least one definable construction activity with a corresponding JHA.
