When is the APP submitted before work begins?

The correct response indicates that the App (Application for the Site Safety Plan) must be submitted before any construction work begins. This is crucial because obtaining approval for safety plans prior to work commencement ensures that all safety measures are in place and reviewed by the Department of Buildings. This timeline is essential to prevent any potential hazards and ensure compliance with regulations, allowing for a properly assessed and safe work environment right from the start.

Submitting the APP at the beginning or after planning meetings could lead to delays in the project and possibly compromise safety protocols as the necessary assessments would not yet be completed. Additionally, a monthly submission does not align with the requirement for ensuring that safety measures are proactively established before any actual construction work starts. Thus, the timing of the submission is foundational in fostering a culture of safety on construction sites.
