Contractor Orientation Safety Action Plan Introduction Please Read

Contractors ** working for/with BNSF Engineering Work Groups are to complete a Safety Action Plan. The number of Safety Action Plans submitted by a particular contractor during a calendar year will vary based on factors such as number of work locations and the nature of the work to be performed.

In addition to the copy of your Safety Action Plan submitted electronically to the webmaster of this site, a hardcopy of your completed Safety Action Plan needs to be provided to your BNSF Project Representative. A hardcopy of your completed Safety Action Plan form also needs to be maintained with each of your work groups. If you would like to provide your BNSF Project Representative and work groups with more detailed information to support the Safety Action Plan, please feel free to do so.

Do you need to submit a Safety Action Plan?

Example 1: Service contractors, utility firms and Department of Public Work Groups that work at fixed locations during the course of a year would only need to submit ONE Safety Action Plan form per calendar year, unless key information changes during the course of the year.

Example 2: Engineering - Construction Contractors and public project contractors would submit project specific Safety Action Plans. It is possible that a large contractor may have several projects underway at the same time across the BNSF system requiring one Safety Action Plan per project.

Example 3: Fiber - Optics firms and service contractors who are constantly on the move during the course of the work week, or during the course of the project, would need to indicate this in the Safety Action Plan form that emergency response information is updated as necessary, maintained on-site and communicated during daily job safety briefings.

Note: General Contractors may submit one Safety Action Plan to include sub-contractors on a project, or require each sub-contractor to submit their own completed Safety Action Plan form. It would need to be clearly indicated on a Safety Action Plan form submitted by a General Contractor that sub-contractors are included in coverage, where that is the case.

** the term "contractor" is referring to employees of firms directly contracted to BNSF Engineering Work Groups, and public project personnel, fiber optics personnel, utility personnel, local department of public works personnel, and agency personnel who work with BNSF Engineering Work Groups.
