Annual Safety Plan Builder
Builds an annual safety plan from Hoshen's guide: ten domains, tasks with an owner and a target date, status tracking and a printable report.
What the tool does, and what it does not
- Organises the plan, sorts by target date, marks lateness and produces a printable report.
- Marks each task as a legal reference, Hoshen's professional guidance, or an example from the guide.
- It determines no legal duties and does not decide whether any instrument applies to you. The current text of the instruments relevant to the site must be checked.
- It does not judge the quality of the plan and gives it no score.
- The plan is saved in your browser only and is not sent anywhere.
Where the content comes from
The domains, the priority grading, the calendar and the metrics come from Hoshen's guide to building an annual safety plan.

What the guide says about itself
- This guide does not replace legal provisions, a labour inspector's requirement, a fire and rescue requirement, business licence conditions, a toxins permit condition, or site-specific adaptation. In every organisation the plan must be adapted to headcount, sector, processes, equipment, materials, contractors and actual risks.
- Applied principle: a plan must not be copied from another site. Every plan must rest on the site's actual risks, headcount, types of work, equipment, materials, contractors, licensing and the authorities' requirements.
- To prepare a binding plan, the current text of the laws, regulations and requirements relevant to the site must be checked. The list is a professional checklist, not a complete legal source.

Tasks
No tasks in the plan yet. Add one, or start from a domain above.
Current picture
No tasks in the plan yet.
A general list of subjects is not an annual safety plan. An effective plan must contain measurable tasks, an owner, a target date, a status, evidence of closure and an effectiveness check.
Annual work calendar
The table is a general example only. It must be adapted to the organisation, seasonality, audit dates, staff availability and actual risks.
Safety metrics
The metrics are examples from the guide. The tool computes none of them.
Approval and review process
- 1.A professional draft: the safety officer or a consultant prepares a draft based on the risk assessment, legal requirements, events and departmental needs.
- 2.Management approval: management approves priorities, budget, owners and target dates.
- 3.Monthly review: checking status, blockers, overdue tasks, recurring defects and performance metrics.
- 4.Annual summary: analysis of delivery against plan, accidents, lessons, actions not closed, and next year's plan.
