The Advanced Passport Course
This course is designed for:
• Subcontractors and individuals involved in the Site Specific Safety Planning process

understand what they should be looking for in the Site Specific Safety Planning process.
Many main contractors and other principals are now making the Site Specific Safety Plan a compulsory requirement for all

develop and implement robust Site Specific Safety Plans and Task Analysis.
Course Outline

• Recognising the full company and site benefits of excellence in safety performance
• The hazard management process and site leader responsibilities
• Understanding and completing Site Specific Safety Plans
• Completing quality Task Analysis.
Site Specific Safety Planning and Task Analysis
Site Specific Safety Plans contribute to a project in many ways. In addition to improved planning and productivity, SSSPs
communicate site safety responsibilities and expectations to all parties, and they also form an agreement between main
contractors and subcontractors on required safety activities. Site Specific Safety Plans are also an excellent tool to use to
monitor that these activities are happening on site.
This course will teach trainees how to complete a Site Specific Safety Plan including best practice safety activity and record
keeping requirements. It will demonstrate how each activity is carried out on site. The course will also teach trainees how to
properly complete the Task Analysis process.
To ensure these parts of the course apply to each trainee, they will be taught using cases studies and real jobs carried out
throughout the construction industry. Each trainee will select an actual construction job and using it they will complete a Site
Specific Safety Plan and a Task Analysis. This will ensure that when trainees undertake or participate in these activities on
site, they are competent to complete them.
