Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

STOW certification requirements and scope check

STOW, the Safe to Work contractor certification run through the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago, is the entry ticket most energy clients ask for, yet many small firms apply without reading the current standard and fail on elements they never knew were assessed.

First tasks

  • Download the current STOW standard and guidance from the Energy Chamber website
  • Identify the certification category that matches your services and headcount
  • List every assessed element on one page with a note on existing evidence
  • Record validity period, fees and approved auditing bodies with today's date

OSH Act duties map for a contracting firm

The Occupational Safety and Health Act, Chap. 88:08, places duties on you as an employer, on your workers, and on the occupier of the site you work on, and a client's STOW requirement sits on top of the Act rather than replacing it. Mapping which duties fall on your firm, who in the firm carries each one and what evidence would show you meet it turns a legal text into a working list you can hand to a supervisor.

First tasks

  • Obtain the current consolidated OSH Act from an official government source
  • List the employer duties that apply to your firm in plain language
  • Name the person who carries each duty and the evidence that proves it
  • Write a one-page procedure for notifying the OSH Agency of accidents

Gap assessment against the STOW standard

Before booking an audit you need an honest picture of where your firm stands, element by element, with the evidence an auditor would ask to see. A scored gap assessment shows which elements are ready, which need a document written and which need a practice changed on site, and it gives you a realistic date for the audit instead of a hopeful one.

First tasks

  • Set up a gap sheet with one row per STOW element
  • Score each element against the evidence you can actually produce
  • Give every gap an owner, a target date and a size estimate
  • Agree a target audit month with the managing director

Make it yours.
