Emergency Response Plan

ALL EMERGENCIES SHOULD BE REPORTED BY CALLING 911

In the event of an emergency the following policy will be adhered to for the safe evacuation of the Project. An immediate call will be made to Emergency 911.  Project information for the call is The Ayco Building Project, 629 Columbia Street Ext. Cohoes, NY 12047

A Consigli project representative will be dispatched to the front of the building to meet the responding Emergency Personnel and advise the individual in charge of the location of any chemicals or hazardous substances that may be present on any of the building floors or storage facilities on site. SDS’s will be readily available if needed by Fire Dept. In the event of a serious injury requiring the assistance of EMS the injured worker will be kept as comfortable as possible.  Emergency first aid if necessary will be administered.  Under no circumstances will the injured person be moved unless the worker’s life is in danger because of fire or calamity.  A worker will be assigned to meet the medical personnel to direct them to the location of incident.

In the event an evacuation is required, all personnel at this job site will assemble at the muster point (see separate evacuation plan).  The foreman for each subcontractor company will meet at that location and take a count of their staff.  If for some reason a worker is unaccounted for, the fire department will be notified of the last location where the worker was observed.

**List of First Aid-CPR trained personnel will be compiled and posted in the project office and in this site specific Safety and Health Plan.**

Memo from the President

FROM: Greg Burns, President

TO: Employees and Subcontractors

SUBJECT: Job Safety

Over the past several years we have made significant improvements to our occupational health and safety program.  These improvements have resulted in fewer employee injuries, fewer OSHA citations and an exemplary safety image within the construction industry. Through the combined efforts of our staff and employees we have become more competitive and in turn, we have provided more jobs for all our employees.

As employees and subcontractors to Consigli Construction, you represent all of us in the workplace and we need your pro-active support to continue making safety improvements and continue expanding our market share.  Therefore, we are asking all employees and subcontractors to read, understand and practice the enclosed Health and Safety principles and guidelines.  This means routinely training employees, conducting weekly toolbox meetings, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, using fall protection when necessary and practicing all other safety-related items listed in the Safety and Health Handbook.  Even more importantly it means developing a safety-conscious attitude.

We take safety very seriously and we expect you to do the same.  If you have any questions, call me or ask the Site Superintendent at your worksite.

Thank you,
