Paper SSSP, or done in 60 seconds?
The template above is genuinely free — but if you fill out an SSSP for every new site, you already know the pain: re-writing the same hazards, digging through the ute for last week's copy, smudged ink, and a scanning run back to the office. The real competition is a pen and a piece of paper — Formate is just faster.
With Formate you set your trade's hazards and controls once. Every new job opens with last time's details already filled in, so you only change what's different today — new site, new PCBU 1 — then sign on your phone and email the PDF straight to the client.

Frequently asked questions
Is the SSSP template really free?+
Yes. Download the template, print it, and fill it in by hand — no payment and no credit card. If you'd rather not re-write it every job, Formate fills the same plan online in about 60 seconds with a 30-day free trial.
Is this SSSP template suitable for New Zealand?+
Yes. It's built around WorkSafe NZ guidance for site-specific safety plans and uses the PCBU 1 / PCBU 2 structure NZ contractors are asked for. Always check it against the specific requirements of your site and main contractor.
What's the difference between an SSSP and a SWMS?+
An SSSP (Site-Specific Safety Plan) covers safety for a whole site or job in New Zealand. A SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement) is focused on a specific high-risk activity and is the common term in Australia. Many contractors use both.
Can I edit the template to suit my trade?+
Absolutely. The PDF is a starting point with common construction hazards pre-listed. Cross out what doesn't apply and add anything specific to your trade. In Formate you save your trade's hazards once and they auto-fill every time.
