Prime Contractor Safety Management Program (PCSMP)

The Prime Contractor Safety Management Program is the system that WestPro implements on each site to encourage a consistent and effective safety culture. We require each contractor working on WestPro sites to acknowledge and sign off on the PCSMP before beginning any work on location. This creates a safety standard that is uniform across all contractors. In many ways the WestPro Safety Advisor acts like an OHS officer that is looking for potential code violations, to correct them, before they become an order, fine, or incident. It is the intention of the PCSMP to promote production by facilitating an environment where working safely limits downtime from injury or incident.

The key components of the PCSMP are the Contractor Check In, Advisor Inspections, and Safety Reporting through Nektar.

What can WestPro do for you?

Your Prime Contractor for Safety!

Bringing on WestPro Safety Services as the Prime Contractor for Safety serves a variety of functions for our clients, some of which include:

OHS Act Section 3(10) Compliance

We satisfy section 3(10) of the OHS Act to designate a prime contractor and takes that responsibility off one of the contractors on site freeing up their attention to focus on their tasks.

Legal Defence for Land Developers

We add a layer of legal defence for the land developer as the PCSMP and advisor reports function as due diligence proofs in the event of an incident.

Unified Site Safety Management

WestPro will act as the joint health and safety committee for each site that we control, giving workers from all companies a neutral third party to address any concerns that are raised on site.

Safety Reporting / Incident Investigation

The WestPro Safety Advisor will evaluate every incident on their designated sites by either reviewing the submitted contractor report for completeness or conducting their own investigation. Inspections are a key component of the PCSMP. WestPro advisors will regularly conduct formal, documented inspections of contractors and site conditions. They will report any conditions requiring attention to the Contractors, Consultants, and/or Clients as necessary to ensure a safe and productive worksite. Equally important are the informal inspections that a Safety advisor will make each time they are on site. This involves observing contractors at work and interacting with foremen and workers to ensure their safety concerns are addressed promptly. Data for each site will be collected and compiled into a monthly report sent to Clients. This gives our clients insight into how many people are working on their sites, for how long, and whether any incidents or injuries have occurred. The PCSMP requires contractors to report any incidents or injuries, along with any investigations or incident reports, to Safety Services.
WestPro-Nektar

What is Nektar?

Nektar is the new data management system that we are implementing at WestPro Safety and Training to help streamline our Prime Contractor services. This system will make reporting to site easier and more transparent for our Contractors and Clients.
