Like Logan's post below, we are pursuing this Pilot Credit, but feel it would be especially useful to know how much information/detail they expect for each line item required.
Has anyone submitted this yet and can provide some guidance as to how much content was needed for Award? I feel like many items can just be named and don't need to be explained, such as "Roof systems" or "Storage and collection of recyclables", but could have elaboration if really needed. In many cases, just a bullet point list should logically suffice, but I worry they may expect more of a narrative format.
As for the contractor portion of review during the design, this happens to apply to the current project where we're attempting this, where the contractor was onboard all through the design phase, but most of my other projects are typical design-bid, where contractors aren't involved until the design is complete. In general, I worry about the applicability of the credit to normal projects the way it is currently written. While it does definitely call for construction team participation, the actual documentation occurs throughout design, not during construction. Seems like a very limiting requirement.

We just got our reviews on this credit. Other than that the worksheet was not 100% completed because the Contractor Construction prevention plan included most of the information. This project was done in Design-Build mode so the contractor was implicated during design phase.
Personally, if I was doing this project in a more traditional way i would either rely on the team's construction experience or hire a safety professionnel for the Baseline and discovery sections. I would complete the Implementation section with the contractor.

Regarding the form completion: Would it have helped to put in a brief response and reference the area of an attached safety plan, for example?
