Questions
Site Safe says main contractors and subcontractors develop an SSSP for the job. Its packs come in red for the main contractor, green for those contracted to the main contractor and yellow for those working alongside.
Every business must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers and others affected by its work (s 36). Businesses that share a duty must consult, co-operate and co-ordinate with each other (s 34).
Failing to comply with a duty carries a fine of up to $50,000 for an individual who isn't a business or officer, $100,000 for an individual business owner or officer, and $500,000 for any other person, such as a company (s 49). Higher penalties apply where people are put at risk.
