What is meant by OH & S Plan for proposed / Specific contract and how can you aim to design that document?
CONCERN
Lately, I have come across an inquiry in which I had to design and submit a document named “OH&S plan” and that should be related to that proposed / specific contract against which we were going to execute the Job.
APPROACH
There were some ambiguities regarding what other party needs to be informed with so I put that question into Linkedin and got some feedback. Few responses were a bit vague but others elucidated the matter which made the requirements of the document very clear. Some of the responses which I consider beneficial for Professionals are stated below.
If it is in pre-tender stage, the client was asking a collection of information about the significant health and safety risks (should be in proportion to the nature, size, and level of health and safety risks involved in the project) and HSEMS of the construction project which your company will have to manage during the construction phase.

A general OH&S Plan for the proposed contract should include the following:
1. OHS Management System (Management commitment, OHS policies, Planning, Implementation & operation, Audits, review, etc.) 2. Organization chart 3. OHS training plan 4. Emergency response plan 5. OHS Activity schedule (meetings, inspections, management site-visits, emergency mock drills, internal audits, etc) 6. OHS report forms and formats 7. Waste management plan 8. Hazards & Effects Management Process (Risk Assessment based on all proposed work activities) These are some of the minimum contents of an OHS plan and further it depends on the client requirements as well as your regional legal obligations.

OH&S Plan is your implementing documents that contain, policies, roles a and responsibilities, procedures, reports, emergency procedures, etc. It is a separate document from your OS& H Manual.
