Project Managers need to:
Ensure that there is a clear specification for the user requirements that identifies each of the work packages required;
Ensure that adequate enquiries have been made with the client at the tender stage in to identify any site specific hazards including any legacy issues;
Identify from the project programme any key milestones that might influence the safe execution of the project;
Identify from the client any key safety or other requirements or constraints that might influence the method of execution of the project;
Clarify any existing process or operational interface that the project works will affect.
Project definition is the method by which the H&S plan is project specific.
