[ Print <br />CONTRACTOR SAFETY ACTION PLAN <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The purpose of a Safety Action Plan (SAP) is to facilitate and organize employer and employee actions and be <br />prepared in event of a workplace emergency. Well-developed plans and proper employee training that helps <br />employees understand their roles and responsibilities will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries and less <br />equipment damage. Putting together a comprehensive SAP that deals with those issues specific to your worksite is <br />not difficult. It involves workplace evaluation and describing how employees will respond to different types of <br />emergencies, taking into account your specific worksite layout, structural features, and emergency systems. <br />SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SMS) <br />A Safety Management System (SMS) is an over-arching document that contains all of the Environmental, Health <br />(Industrial Hygiene), and Safety programs within your company. It provides a systematic way to identify hazards and <br />control risks while maintaining assurance that these risk controls are effective. The Safety Action Plan is a <br />component of the Safety Management System. <br />The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard ANSI Z10 describes minimum requirements for an <br />occupational safety and health management system and applies to organizations of all sizes and kinds. There other <br />resources available for assistance in developing a SMS such as your insurance carrier, or the National Safety <br />Council. <br />BNSF Railway CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED to complete a BNSF Railway Contractor Safety Action Plan.
