What is a Construction Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Plan?

An HSE plan is a plan which outlines your company and project health, safety and environmental policies, procedures and processes. The purpose of the plan is to create a consistent and reliable framework which you can apply to all your projects to improve project outcomes.

The HSE plan should be structured in a way that assists everyone to keep everyone else safe, protects the environment while continuing operations, and running everything smoothly and compliant. You plan to spot risks early on before they're even discovered, you're prepared for when they happen, you set up smart safety rules, and ensure everyone follows through.

How does an HSE Plan help make safety second nature in the workplace?

Projects and work sites should be safer – meaning safer for workers to work in. Having an HSE plan that focuses on making the workplace accident and incident-free make workers feel values and projected. It should:

let workers know what to do in case of hazards or accidents
help teams focus without worrying about getting hurt

It's more than rules, it's a moral responsibility to keep everyone safe. Safety should be second nature, which eventually leads to morale going up, and projects being completed on time. They're just directly proportional and related. It's a win-win situation too, because if owners show they care, it makes it easier to win new projects from clients and partners.

What should be included in a strong HSE Plan for Construction Sites?

HSE plans come in many shapes and sizes, but most are plans made of components which cover elements or activities of health and safety and environmental management. There also isn't a strict template or a regulation that dictates the exact format, but it's best practice to follow the local and specific regulations and guidelines that suggest what should be included in your HSE Plan. It also depends on the company what best fits their operations.

Clear policies and objectives: it should be outlined here how committed the company is to putting health, safety, and environmental protection in mind
Hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures section
Emergency response plan/procedure: detailed and step-by-step instructions in case of medical emergencies, fire, electrical hazards, etc
Roles and responsibilities of everyone in the team
Safety training, awareness progress, etc.
Environmental protection measures about lessening waste, pollution, and environmental impact – while staying on top of regulations
Strategies from continuous improvement and being updated with the latest standards, regulations, and environmental laws

Why is focusing Health, Safety, and Environment key to project success?

Health, safety and environmental impacts are central to project success. The health and safety of your workers should be first priority, while your management of the environment will also directly impact the course of your projects and the sustainability and feasibility of your company.

An HSE plan helps companies to consciously think about their approach to HSE, and then make changes and adjust the plan based on what is happening on site. Approaching construction HSE in this way ensures that you are continuously improving and iterating on your HSE practices.

If safety is being highlighted in the workplace, teams actually work even better and more consciously. They feel safer to be in the workplace, because their company values their safety and the environmental effects. Projects stay on track, no one is hurt, there are less to no accidents – and less costly hospital expenses and penalties.
