Every GC has a safety checklist. Here's what's on it — and how to check every box before your mobilization deadline.
When you sign a subcontract on a commercial construction project, the safety documentation requirements are usually buried in the contract language. Then, 5 to 10 days before mobilization, the GC sends a checklist of everything they need — and the clock starts.
The requirements vary by GC, project size, and scope of work, but certain documents appear on nearly every commercial job. Understanding these requirements upfront means you're not scrambling at the last minute.
SafeDocs prepares the safety documentation portion of your pre-mobilization package. Job-specific, OSHA-compliant, and formatted the way GC safety coordinators expect to see it.
No. While OSHA sets the baseline, each GC has their own requirements beyond federal minimums. Larger GCs like Turner, Skanska, and DPR typically require more documentation than regional contractors. Always check your specific GC's requirements.
Each project requires its own safety documentation, even if you've worked with the same GC before. Plans must be site-specific — referencing the current project address, hazards, and personnel.
These requirements primarily apply to commercial construction managed by a General Contractor. Residential work has different requirements, though OSHA standards still apply to all construction work.
