Health and Safety Plan for construction projects

In the Netherlands a Health and Safety Plan must be drawn up for:

• construction projects involving the collaboration of several parties
• high-risk construction projects
• construction projects that must be reported to the SZW Inspectorate (Inspectie SZW) in advance

A Health and Safety Plan lays down agreements with regard to health and safety. The Health and Safety Plan must contain a risk inventory and evaluation(RI&E) of the activities to be carried out during the project. A company emergency response team also forms part of the Health and Safety Plan.

In drawing up a Health and Safety Plan, you can use the (Dutch-language) Health and Safety Planner(V&G-Planner) as a template.
