Site Safety Coordinator - Key Items

Under the PCML H&S Program it is the responsibility of the Site Superintendent / Quality Supervisor to ensure that the responsibilities of the Site Safety Coordinator are carried out by a competent person. As there is a high degree of documentation and reporting expected of the Site Safety Coordinator on a Polygon Construction site, this Guideline is intended to help familiarize a new or temporary Site Safety Coordinator with the expectations that are considered to have the highest priority.

1. Ensure every worker is given a Site Safety Orientation, including any supplementary orientations, for the site before they begin work (Guideline)
