    Hi Robert,

    I would have thought that is exactly what a tailgate is supposed to be?

    A plan or tailgate is simply an identification of hazards and risks identified on site and the proposed control measures required to mitigate those risks, so the format is almost irrelevant.

    I would hope that all employees on site including sub-contractors are all part of the assessment process or at least presented with the final assessment to review, amend if required, and sign on to?

    The ‘supervisor’ is just any employee responsible on the day for the safety of the site, not the title of being a supervisor.

    Did you have a different interpretation?
