Emergency Response Plan


ALL EMERGENCIES SHOULD BE REPORTED BY CALLING  911

SITE INFORMATION

This Emergency Response Plan (E.R.P.) is specifically developed for Consigli Construction Management work associated with the Asahi Shuzo Brewery.

 

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,

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Asahi Shuzo NY Brewery project would be the first major sake brewing facility on the East Coast. A partnership with The Culinary Institute of America, bringing about 32 jobs to Hyde Park, it would be capable of brewing 332,640 gallons of sake a year. The 52,500-square-foot facility will feature a retail space and public tours. It will also serve as an experimental facility, as both the brewers and CIA explore new culinary techniques using sake and byproduct from the brewing process. Plans call for cherry blossom trees to be planted alongside the existing trees at the site, and the parking lot will be reduced to allow for more greenery at the site. Asahi Shuzo was founded in 1948. The brewery specializes in junmai daiginjo, which is considered a high-quality, premium style of sake.

Site Safety Plan

PURPOSE: The purpose of this Site Specific Safety and Health Program is to illustrate Consigli’s approach to identifying project specific hazards and controls and how said risk is managed through a comprehensive Safety and Health Program.

S.A.F.E.: Staying Accident Free Every Day is the Safety Mission that forms the very foundation of the Consigli Safety Culture.  The S.A.F.E. mission, which is supported by technology, (Predictive Solutions internal auditing instrument  which identifies and defines leading indicator related information); Leadership (Empowering our team members to assure safe projects); Humanization (Protect the ones you love by protecting yourself); Jobsite Gym (Morning warm-ups, stretch and flex); Training (Integrating sub-contractors into the Consigli Safety Culture); and Lean (nothing hit the ground), is the driving force behind Consigli’ s drive to our vision – ZERO.  ZERO is the philosophy that all accidents are preventable and that no accident is acceptable.  The S.A.F.E. mission is the guiding force to achieving the Consigli Safety Vision which is ZERO.

Logistics/Access/Traffic Management: Main construction access will be restricted to routes pre-determined by the Consigli Construction Superintendent. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to Consigli Construction and The Asahi Shuzo Brewery Facilities restrictions and regulations in regards to driving, parking and delivering materials. Strict adherence to posted speed limits and parking locations is required. Pedestrians will be given the right of way at all times. Parking will be designated in pre-determined contractor parking locations and reviewed during orientation. Pedestrian access, if any, through the project must be along posted overhead protected walkways and sidewalks.  No short cuts through The Asahi Shuzo Brewery! All deliveries and waste removal shall be done as per the project site specific logistics plan (Below). All contractors will be responsible for adhering to The Asahi Shuzo Brewery Facilities restrictions and regulations in regards to driving, parking and delivering materials.Pedestrians will be given the right  of way at all times. Parking will not be designated on site.

Designated work hours (any work off The Asahi Shuzo Brewery normal hours must have prior Consigli approval):  All work shall take place during business hours, Monday – Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm, any work which may need to take place off The Asahi Shuzo Brewery normal hours will need to be approved by the Consigli Superintendent.

Services:  Any compromises to The Asahi Shuzo Brewery Project site during the work performed will be handled accordingly 

  • During weekly project meetings, if needed upcoming work that may compromise service or impact the public shall be talked about with Site Superintendent and scheduled for off shift if the group decides it will be needed.
  • The on-site superintendent shall perform weekly inspections of all adjacent establishments and businesses for the duration of the project to ensure minimal construction impact.

Activity Safety Analysis (ASA)/Toolbox Talks:  An ASA/JSA depending on level of hazard shall be conducted for each identifiable feature of work to be performed.  The ASA/JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor prior to the commencement of any work.  ASA/JSA shall be reviewed weekly, signed by all workers including their supervisor, with all involved personnel performing that particular task.

Subcontractors under their contract shall be responsible for drafting and reviewing all AHA/JSA’s with their workers each Monday as well as toolbox talks that address the work that they will be performing and that which is relative to safe work practices.

Any second tier subcontractors under all subcontractors contractually responsible under Consigli shall be responsible for providing the JSA/ASA to all workers under their respective contracts.

Demolition: 

Pre-work surveys

Live utilities will be running through the building prior to building scheduled demolition.  It is for this reason that Consigli will require that all MEP subcontractors perform a pre-demolition survey to ensure that the work areas are made-safe for demolition work to commence. 

From this survey, the competent person from each trade will relay back any unsafe conditions to the Consigli Superintendent. At no time shall demolition work commence without Consigli Superintendent having all documented “Make Safes” provided by the responsible MEP subcontractors that confirm the isolation of all utilities feeding the construction area. 

Pre-Demolition Make Safe

Prior to the start of any demo operations at The Asahi Shuzo Brewery, the subcontractor preforming demo will confirm that all utilities leading into the work area have been made safe.  The contracted electrician will disconnect and lock out all electrical, the plumber will perform and confirm the same with any plumbing lines, and the HVAC subcontractor will do the same on the HVAC piping and duct work.  Lock out tag out will be reviewed during the pre-construction safety meetings to assure disconnect and responsibility for protection of existing utilities is safe for any construction activities to commence. In spaces where some electrical or mechanical must remain live, a color coding system will be utilized for easy identification of live utilities that must stay active and utilities that must be removed.  Any and all utilities spray painted Red are not to be touched and are need to be protected during all operations. Utilities spray painted Green are to be removed as part of the selective demolition process only after lock-out/tag-out has been confirmed and utilities tested. If any utilities are unmarked, they shall be considered live.  The demo contractor will be responsible for completing Consigli demo checklist prior to the start of any work in their target areas.  

Lockout/Tagout, scheduling shutdowns

All mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc. systems that require work to be performed on them shall be effectively LOTO to a de-energized state.  These procedures shall follow in strict accordance with the OSHA requirements in 1910.147 – Control of Hazardous Energy, NFPA 70E, NFPA 99, etc.  The Asahi Shuzo Brewery Facilities may have procedures already established for this work.  In every case, shutdowns of all types are required to be coordinated with the Consigli Management team.  At no time will work be performed on any system prior to this meeting taking place.

Demolition Scope (Provide existing conditions survey prior to demolition work).

  • Interior concrete slab on grade
  • All floor finishes

**Review Chapter 19 of Consigli’s Corporate Health and Safety Program for more detail**

FALL PROTECTION: All work over 6 feet will require some form of fall protection in accordance with CCNY fall protection policy and ANSI Z359.2-2017 Fall Protection Code.  Exterior fall protection for all roof work and floors is to be determined but it is critically important that all elevated work by any subcontractor contracted by Consigli Construction have a written Fall Protection Plan, reviewed by the Regional Safety Manager prior to the onset of work. At a minimum the following shall apply;

  1. Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4” plywood or ½” steel) which will be secured and marked cover or hole (cover must be able to withstand four times the intended load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled.
  2. Before any work is to begin on the roof, it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented. 

  • Whenever roofers and any other trade are on the same roof then the flagging must be pulled in to the maximum 15’ distance. Roof work fall protection will require a rail system and flagging. NOTE: At no time will roofers be able to work without positive fall protection.
  • Guardrails (Cable, wood or acceptable materials) shall be installed as fall hazards of 6’ or greater are created during all phased work processes. All guardrails systems shall be capable of withstanding downward/outward force of 200 lbs. and shall be maintained in such fashion throughout all phases of construction or until the fall hazard has been eliminated through design or equivalent protection. 
  • Toe boards are required to be installed any time in which there is a risk for materials to be knocked off of an edge, or material will need to be kept and secured a minimum of 6’ from the roof edge.  In addition, any materials that may be blown off of the roof shall be secured/weighted down.
  • All Fall Protection Plans shall be drafted by a competent person and shall include all fall protection systems available to ensure the proper form of fall protection is available at the time of work. As per NYS Labor Law 240/241 each subcontractor owner shall ensure that for all work at heights 6’ or greater that all optional forms of fall protection shall be made available for each of his/her workers on site.
  • All written fall protection plans shall be developed to include fall rescue procedures and identification of competent rescue supervisor. The fall rescue plan will require periodic review to align with the changes of construction operations. 

** Please review chapter 13 of Consigli’s Safety and Health Program for additional details**

Work on Ladders: All work on step ladders/straight ladders will be done correctly per manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Any worker who is on a step/straight ladder and could be exposed to a fall greater than the height of their work on the ladder will be required to install a form of fall protection.  Step ladders will not be used as a form of access to a walking /working level. Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.

All ladders shall be inspected prior to each shift. All ladders found defective or damaged shall be removed from service immediately.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms

Scaffold Design

All supported scaffolds (including outrigger and suspension) over 125’ in height shall be designed by a qualified person or registered design professional

Scaffold Work Requirements & Protocol

  • Preliminary drawings shall be received from the trade contractor for all scaffolding types to be utilized on the project (i.e. pipe scaffold, suspended scaffold, multi-point scaffold, etc.). These drawings will be reviewed by the Consigli and Subcontractor prior to agency submission. Any necessary revisions will be made and drawings finalized and submitted to Consigli’s Safety Department and Project Superintendent.

  • Based on the submitted scaffold drawings, the Site Safety Plan (SSP) will be updated to correspond with all intended scaffolding.
  • Prior to scaffold operations/ mobilization on site, safety preconstruction meetings will be conducted on site to coordinate all work with other trades working in those areas.
  • If necessary, Controlled Access Zones (CAZ’s) shall be established. In establishing the CAZ’s:
  • Boundaries for each anticipated CAZ are to be established. At locations that include balconies, set-backs, terraces, etc. Access shall be restricted by spring hinged gates or other acceptable means and shall be installed at the ingress and egress points.
  • Signage was posted at all CAZ’s including “no work is to be performed until CAZ/Access permit form is completed and approved”.
  • Prior to the CAZ being established, all trades are to be notified of the conditions.
  • A “Controlled Access Zone Access Permit” form will be required to be completed and signed off on by the trade contractor’s competent person and project Superintendent. Once reviewed, approved and signed off on by both parties, work will be granted in the area and the approved permit must be posted to indicate which trades are allowed in the specific CAZ.
  • As scaffold erection workers mobilized on site, the project Superintendent will conduct site specific safety orientations on an ongoing basis.
  • At theses Site Specific orientations workers’ certifications/licenses will be collected, checked to be in good standing, and copies made and kept on file.
  • This includes the verification of the master rigger’s license, 32 Hour riggers certifications, and all other user’s certifications.
  • The subcontractor shall keep copies of all licenses, certifications and drawings of scaffolding being used in their on- site shanty.
  • Delivery of all scaffolding and related materials will be scheduled and coordinated between the subcontractor and Consigli Superintendent.
  • During the installation of any scaffolding on a daily basis, work is monitored and safety and code compliance is enforced regularly (i.e. maintenance of CAZ and signage, worker PPE, coordination of work with all other trades, etc.)
  • Once in use, trade contractor will perform a pre-use daily inspection and all forms are submitted to the Superintendent prior to use and kept on file.
  • As work progresses, safety and code compliance is continuously monitored. As well, controlled access zones are monitored for maintenance of boundary components and signage.

  • In addition to daily supervision of the site and its day to day operations, all project safety and coordination topics are discussed in separate, weekly safety meetings, foremen’s meetings, and project stand downs.
  • When required, second shifts shall be established to promote worker safety when multiple trades are required to work in the same area (i.e.: working above another worker or below another worker).

On The Asahi Shuzo Brewery Project, fall protection is required 100% during erection/dismantling. Overhead protection will be provided for all access points at any buildings which are located under any form of scaffolding.

All scaffolding that is procured by Consigli and is over 15’ in height will require that the Consigli Safety Department review the scaffold prior to it being turned over for use by tradesmen. 

** Review chapter 14 of Consigli’s Corporate Health and Safety Program for additional details.**     

Aerial/Scissor Lifts:  (CONSIGLI PROGRAM APPENDIX HH – SCISSOR LIFT INSPECTION FORM, APPENDIX JJ – AERIAL LIFT INSPECTION FORM)

Aerial lifts will be required (beyond the initial use for exploratory and Haz mat identification) for all exterior restoration work. Prior to use the area and ground conditions, in the intended work area, will be inspected for overhead power lines, sink holes, covers, or any other unsafe conditions which cause an unsafe incident.  Aerial lift platforms will be inspected daily before each shift by a competent person designated.  All who will be performing work from an aerial lift will show documented proof of training prior to using the lift.  Steel plates or equipment mats will be placed on the ground above any utility/ underground structures if there will be Aerial lifts operating directly over them.All aerial lift work on or near active roadways will require additional flag persons to control traffic and to protect the general public. Such use of flag person shall be evaluated prior to commencement of work and be added to the subcontractors JSA/AHA for all workers to review. Wind shall be a major contributing factor to safe operation of aerial lifts by workers.

The “Beaufort Scale of Wind Force” shall be the deciding control measure for safe operation during wind gusts and sustained winds. The below chart shall be reviewed and implemented when winds exceeding the levels outlined are experienced during aerial lift operations. No supervisor or worker shall allow any aerial lift operation where sustained winds or wind gusts exceed the below measurements.

 
 

Beaufort scale of Wind Force

Below is a chart to help you determine the wind speed and if you should or should not be working. The Beaufort Scale of Wind Force is accepted internationally and used in communicating weather conditions. It consists of number 0 – 12, each representing a certain strength or velocity of wind at 33 feet (10m) above ground or in the open. This should be used to assess when it is safe to operate your powered access equipment.

Note: Approximate corrections for wind speeds at other heights are:

6 feet subtract 30 percent, 10 feet subtract 20 percent, 20 feet subtract 10 percent, 50 feet add 10 percent, and 100 feet add 25 percent

Chemical and Materials:  All Materials and chemicals used on-site will have SDS/SDS sheets provided before being brought onsite.
