Site Safety Plan

Project Specific Loss Exposures and Controls

Scope of Proposed Operations: This project will be starting August  2020 with a completion in July 2023. At its peak it will have around 120 workers representing different trades and will take place  on the existing Sharon school campus. The scope of work for the project will consist of the select tree, bleachers, light poles and small existing addition to make way for new underground site utilities. Once utilities are removed from the footprint, excavation will begin on a new type b two story building which will be roughly 240,000sqft. Aggregate piles will used to reinforce existing soil conditions . Concrete work will consist of footings, piers and concrete walls. This will be followed by steel erection with poured in place slabs. The roof will be of EPDM type with RTU to be installed. Exterior shell will consist of a combination of brick veneer, curtain window wall and metal panel system. All interior finishes such as electrical, wall types, plumbing, HVAC and life safety will be typical. Existing bleachers and press box will be refurbished as well. The final stage will be the complete demolition and removal of existing school for the installation of new sport fields. Typical landscape finishes along with a new parking lot will wrap site construction.

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.

Covid 19: Prior to starting a shift, each employee will self-certify to their supervisor (using the covid app) that they:

  • Have no signs of a fever or a measured temperature above 100.3 degrees, no cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell in last 24 hours
  • Have not had “close contact” with an individual DIAGNOSED WITH COVID-19. “Close contact” means:
    • Living in the same household as a person who has tested positive for COVID-19
    • Caring for a person who has tested positive for COVID-19
    • Being within 6 feet of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 for about 15 minutes
    • Coming in direct contact with secretions from a person that has tested positive for COVID-19, while that person was symptomatic         
  • Have not been asked to self-isolate or quarantine by their Doctor, local public health official, their employer, or a Consigli representative
  • Have not traveled outside of the United States in the last 14 days. 

The following GUIDELINES need to be followed

  • Consigli Project Team shall communicate with our customer to confirm we are in compliance with all facility work rules.
  • Employees experiencing any symptoms (runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat and/or fever) shall stay home and contact your Supervisor.  Supervisors should immediately communicate any individuals reporting symptoms to the Consigli Superintendent.
    • EMPHASIZE – STAY HOME and CONTACT YOUR SUPERVISOR
  • Employees that have had direct contact with someone that has a presumed positive for COVID-19 or someone awaiting testing COVID-19, should stay home and contact their supervisor.  Supervisors should immediately communicate any individuals reporting direct contact to the Consigli Superintendent.
    • EMPHASIZE – STAY HOME and CONTACT YOUR SUPERVISOR
  • All subcontractor’s Project Managers, Assistant PM’s, Safety Officers, etc. should work remotely. 
  • Any site visits by non-essential personnel should be discussed with the Consigli project team.
  • All meetings will be done via Skype or conference calls. 
  • All vendors and delivery drivers are prohibited from entering the site.  When deliveries arrive near the site, contact the Consigli Superintendent for direction. 
  • Avoid cafeterias and high activity areas.
    • When possible eat outside or in isolated area.
    • As much as possible avoid intermingling with other crews or groups
    • Prohibit all food and drink inside the work areas
    • Any lunch rooms within the work areas should be closed
  • Wash or sanitize hands frequently
    • Always before and after any lunch period or break time

  • Maintain social distancing when practical
    •  Preferably maintain at least 6’ between yourself and others
    • If working with a partner is required assure proper hygiene practices are followed
  • Disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as tools, keyboards, light switches and tables at least twice per day. Most household cleaners, such as bleach wipes or alcohol, will kill the virus.
  • Utilize proper etiquette when coughing or sneezing
  • Discontinue the use of community water, coffee, or food

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.

Post Incident Review: Any incident that results in a recordable injury will require a post incident review. The  worker who was injured along with their foreman/Safety Personnel/PM/Sup/etc… will need to fill out Appendix ?? (post incident review form) and attend this meeting. At this meeting they will re-emphasize their commitment to safety, determine chronology of events, identify contributing factors, identify root cause, provide improvement plan to prevent reoccurrence and discuss disciplinary actions taken (if any). Findings from this meeting will be shared/disseminated with all contractors on site to prevent reoccurrence.

Substance Abuse: As a condition of employment, all CCC personnel are required to submit to a urinalysis test for determination of the presence of illegal substances.  A positive result will disqualify the applicant for employment on this project.

IAQ (indoor air quality): If at any time during this project that work activities take place in an occupied building  an indoor air quality plan will be implemented. This plan will ensure that adjoining areas have not been contaminated during construction. The air will be tested for typical indicators such as but not limited to temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, dust particulates and VOC’s (volatile organic compounds). Monitoring (frequency/duration) will be done in accordance with a written IAQ plan provided by a Certified Industrial Hygienist. This plan will ensure that adjoining areas have not been contaminated during abatement, demolition, and construction. Fire rated 6 mil poly barriers will be set up between any work areas and occupied spaces prior to the start of any work. Negative air machines will also be used to create a negative air flow from the occupied space to ensure that no dust and debris enter an occupied area. All equipment used on the inside to the building will be equipped with a scrubber or be of tier 4 type. Constant Co monitoring will be required if combustible engine is operated indoors.  Negative air machines will also be used to create a negative air flow into the workspace to ensure that no dust and debris enter non-construction areas. Kleen sweep will be used at all times whenever sweeping is required. HEPA Vacs will be the only type vacuums allowed on site. Engineering controls will be taken to eliminate dust on site.

**Please review chapter 29 for additional details**

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): For this project all deliveries and waste removal shall enter using designated access point and be coordinated with the general contractor. Also, only permitted truck routes will be used, all contractors will be responsible for adhering to truck routes and restrictions plan which will be made available to all sub-contractors.

Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE):  All workers will wear hard hats and safety glasses at all times. High visibility vest will be worn when exposed to vehicular/equipment hazards/ traffic. All personnel performing work with their hands shall be required to wear gloves that are appropriate to the task.  When not performing actual work with their hand’s workers will be required to have them available for immediate use…  Face shields will be required for all personnel who are performing overhead work, using metal chop saw or any type of metal grinding.  All welders will be required to have hard hats with integral welding shields.

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval):  All work shall take place during regular business hours of, Monday – Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm.  Any work which may need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent. All deliveries must be coordinated with the CCC superintendent with at least 48 hours notice.

Emergency Management Response: In the event of an Emergency the construction workers shall leave the building immediately. Point of assembly/muster shall be located next to the field office located in the Doucette field house.(see evac). In the Event of a DISASTER, the Superintendent or Safety director shall instruct the construction workers to leave the site or remain in place and await further instruction.  The following steps should be taken in the event of an emergency

When reporting an emergency, please provide the following:

Demolition:  Prior to the start of demo operations, the contractor preforming demo will confirm that all utilities leading into the area have been made safe.  The electrician will disconnect and lock out all electrical, the plumber will do 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 or 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 CCC demo checklist prior to the start of any work in their target areas. During demolition and construction activities all personnel will wear all required protective equipment.  Engineering controls will be used for any activity which may create dust.

Fall Protection: All workers exposed to a fall of 6′ or greater shall be protected by guardrails safety nets or personnel fall arrest systems.  this include, but is not limited to, steel erection, roofing, scaffold erection and dismantling, overhand brick laying and pre-cast concrete related work.  Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole (cover must be able to withstand four times the intended load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled.  Building perimeters will be protected with some form of fall protection if fall is greater them 6 feet. Cable guard rail system (if used) with turnbuckles to be installed for all straight runs and any straight run over 100 feet.  Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole (cover must be able to withstand four times the intended load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled. At no time are cross braces on scaffold allowed to be used as fall protection. The use of safety Monitors is prohibited.

Work on Ladders: All work on step ladders/straight ladders will be done correctly per manufacturer’s recommendations.  Any worker who is exposed to a fall greater than the height of their work on the ladder will be required to tie off.  Step ladders will not be used as a form of access to a walking /working level, also all straight ladders will be tied of when installed for use. Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.

Roof Work: Before any work is to begin on the roof it must be determined what sections of the roof will be worked a method of fall protection will be implemented (100% tie off, guard rails, flagging etc. the use of safety monitors is not allowed) Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole (cover must be able to withstand four times the intended load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled with duct or Pipe riser which extends above the deck.

 Scaffold and elevated work platforms/Material Hoist:  All scaffolds/material hoist supported frame, pipe staging and baker staging will be inspected daily before each shift by a competent person designated by each individual contractor who will be using it, which will be documented on Inspection tags located at the stair tower/access point to each section. if installed a  scaffold/material hoist inspection checklist will be completed prior to the beginning of each shift and filed in the site office.  This will be completed by the designated person from each individual contractor must complete an inspection every day the scaffold/material hoist is used by his/her employees.  A scaffold inspection guide will be provided to each designated person (upon request) by Consigli Construction to aid them with their inspection. All contractors who will be erect scaffold will provide CCC with certification/Qualification of scaffold erection training as well as an erection/dismantling plan.  Fall protection is required 100% during erection/dismantling. Peery bakers are not allowed on this site. Overhead protection will be provided for all access points to any buildings located under any form of scaffolding/material hoist.

Aerial Lifts/Scissor lifts:  Area and ground conditions in the intended work area will be inspected for overhead power lines underground structures/sink holes, covers or any other unsafe condition which cause an unsafe incident.  Aerial lift platforms/scissor lifts will be inspected daily before each shift by a competent person designated by each individual contractor who will be using it, which will be documented on Inspection tags for each individual piece which will be filed in the site office. All contractors who will be performing work from an aerial lift will show documented proof of training for all workers who will be using the lift.  Steel plates or equipment mats will be placed on the ground above any utility/ steam tunnel/underground vault if there will be Aerial lifts operating on them. Workers will be tied off at all times when using an aerial lift!!

  • SDS sheets on file in Consigli Construction’s Site Safety Plan
  • SDS sheets shall be readily accessible.

Fire Protection: The hot work permit program will be implemented for all hot work to be conducted on the project on a daily basis.  This will be coordinated through the CCC as well as Fire Department (if needed).   All hot work will stop one hour before the regular end of the day work stoppage.  20lb extinguishers of ABC rating will be positioned accordingly through the project.  Flammables will not be stored inside the building or left overnight on the scaffold.  All combustible or flammable materials will be stored in an appropriately rated lockable cabinet located no closer than 50 feet from the nearest structure. Fire department access will be maintained and kept open for emergency responders. Workers will comply with NFPA 241 fire protection plan and NFPA hot work permit requirements at all times.

Electrical: The electrician will be responsible for all temp power and any temp lighting that may be needed.  They will coordinate all lock out tag out procedures with the buildings  facility’s department to make safe the work area before demolitions begins There are no overhead power lines in any of the intended work areas. All electrical tools, cords and equipment must be in good working order. To that end, all electrical tools and components must be visually checked on a daily basis.  Any tools with damaged cords or damaged cords must be taken out service immediately.  All cords must be equipped with a ground pin, flat three wire cords are not allowed.  SJO and SJT or other similarly rated cords only shall be used.  Cords must be 12 gauge or better.  The electrician will be responsible for all temp power and any general temp lighting that may be needed.  Subcontractors will be responsible for task lighting in the event that lighting above the OSHA standard is required for a particular work task.  The electrician will coordinate all lock out tag out procedures. All temporary power for the project will be installed on protected and dedicated circuits with 100% GFCI protection.  GFCI will be tested by the electric contractor to assure proper function with a logbook filed with CCC monthly.  No live electrical work will be conducted

Crane Location and set up will be reviewed with crane operator prior to set up and pick.  All lifting operations will require that the operator and any involved contractors follow the steps listed below as well as in CCC Crane Safety policy

 1.  All Hoisting equipment will have an up to date 3rd party inspection certificate with the equipment which will be copied and filed in the office trailer.

2. All lattice boom cranes will have an independent 3rd party inspection completed each time one is set up on the project.

Lead Paint: All paint located on the building exterior/interior will be classified as containing lead. Consigli workers may need to disturb this paint by drilling, sawing, demo, fastening, or carpentry. In doing so they will use saws, drills, screw guns, impact wrenches, sawzalls, hand wrenches, ads, crowbars, hammers, and other hand tools.  Consigli Construction does posses historical data to show that drilling, sawing, light demo, installation of hangers, hanging sheetrock, fastening, and carpentry do not put the employee above the action level. Despite this additional monitoring will be done. An exposure assessment will be done for any task on painted surfaces prior to the work taking place. This does not mean that lead could not still be found in/on other surface/areas, caution must be used when working and if any workers identify any potentially hazardous substances then they should stop and notify their supervisor immediately.  If at any time workers will need to work on the areas mentioned above, they will need to obtain Lead Awareness training.

 Asbestos: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SUBCONTRACTOR FOREMEN TO REVIEW THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL REPORT WITH THEIR WORKERS.

 A copy of the hazardous Material report will be on site at all times and available to anyone request it. This does not mean that asbestos could not still be found in other areas.  Caution must be used when working and if any workers identify any potentially hazardous substances, then they should stop and notify their supervisor immediately, who in turn, will notify the CCC Superintendent. 

Some materials identified as ACM include but not limited to 12×12 white/grey tile & mastic, mud on old metal boiler ribs, TSI located in nurse boys room and storage room next to classroom 506, and debris located above plaster ceiling at auditorium catwalk and on cement tunnel, exterior door and window caulking, fitted pipe insulation joints, etc.… Hazardous material report which will be filed in the office and available for review at any time. 

If at any time a worker come across a material, he/she cannot confirm as asbestos free or was previously hidden behind a wall they shall notify their supervisor immediately.

 All asbestos containing material will be fully removed by a licensed and regulate contractor under an asbestos removal plan which must be submitted and approved, all abatement work will be completed by a licensed Asbestos abatement contractor. All disposals will be done in compliance with State and Federal Regulations. Any worker who discovers any suspect material which cannot be confirmed as non-asbestos containing based on the Hazardous Materials Report shall immediately notify CCC superintendent who will then secure the area (if needed) and have the suspect material tested and treated as needed.  Clearances will be provided to Consigli by WHCC Industrial hygienist prior to any workers entering the area.

All unground water, sewer and drainage lines will be presumed to be asbestos containing until they have been analytically tested and identified as non-asbestos containing.

It is the responsibility of all subcontractor foremen to share this report with their respective workers.          

Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs):  

  • Per the Hazardous material report provide by the owner building materials and caulking were assumed to contain PCB’s. EPA requires that all construction waste including caulking be disposed as PCB’S if PCB”S level exceed 50 mg/kg (ppm)At no time, shall a worker disturb any material he/she cannot readily identify.  If they come across a material, he/she cannot confirm as PCB free, they shall notify their supervisor immediately. All suspect PCB containing finishes which test for more than 50 ppm it will be considered PCB containing material and will be disposed of in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
  • Light ballast that are not labeled “NO PBC’s” will be considered PCB containing, All PCB containing material shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with all local, state (MADEP Special waste management rules 06-096-CMR 400) and federal regulations and be coordinated with Sharon.
  • A hand wash station will be established and maintained for the project duration

Mercury:  All fluorescent lamps/thermostats are presumed to contain mercury vapor, which is a hazardous substance. Mercury-containing lamps associated with fluorescent light fixtures in areas designated to be renovated will be treated accordingly.  All florescent bulbs removed during renovation will be collected, stored properly on site and giving to WHCC so as to be recycled or disposed of properly.

Freon/Glycol:  All Freon/Glycol materials will be removed from equipment and stored per manufacturer’s recommendations before it is disturbed.  All workers who will be working with the above-mentioned materials must provide CCC with certifications or qualifications.  If not re-used, a disposal manifest will be provided to CCC.

Silica:   Any activity which can produce silica dust will use engineering controls to keep dust to a minimum.  There will be no dry cutting of any masonry material allowed; if water can not be used then a dustless vacuum system consisting of a HEPA dustless vacuum system will be used in conjunction with an exposure assessment if table 1 cannot be complied with. Prior to the project going full scale an exposure assessment of a worker grinding ,demolition and cutting masonry while using HEPA system will be done so as to establish the silica exposure level if water cannot be used to eliminate or table 1 complied with.  No respirators will be issued to CCC workers without the express consent of the Consigli Safety department.  Nuisance mask like an N95 if used will be on a voluntary basis and at no time will these types of mask be issued to the workers. Any activity which can produce silica dust will use engineering controls to keep dust to a minimum.  A written exposure plan must be developed for all silica producing tasks that clearly defines the following:

 1) A description of the tasks in the workplace that involve exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

2) A description of the engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection used to limit employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica for each task.

 3) A description of the housekeeping measures used to limit employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

 4) A description of the procedures used to restrict access to work areas, when necessary, to minimize the number of employees exposed to respirable crystalline silica and their level of exposure, including exposures generated by other employers.

Mold:    Mold issues are not anticipated to be prevalent on this project, however if mold is discovered Consigli’s mold remediation policy will be implemented and followed.

Noise:   Noise exposure will also be a concern, so all deliveries must be coordinated with CCC Superintendent to limit their impact on the surrounding areas.  Normal working hours will be between 7am and 3:30pm; any contractor who may need to work late must first seek approval from the CCC Superintendent. Interior work will take place between 7pm -3am. Noise levels will be monitored if high levels of noise are found to exist or could be expected to assure that noise levels do not exceed acceptable OSHA levels.  Consigli permissible noise policy and procedures will be followed

Equipment issues:  All operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate licensing and training as required by OSHA and the State of Mass.  All safety devices and warning alarms must be in good working order and all leaks are to be repaired immediately.  All equipment will be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations for safe usage and have its operator’s manual as well as an extinguisher with it at all times.

Exposure to the Visitors, Staff and Students: During all phases of this project the building will be unoccupied.  Access will be limited to the areas of the building in which work is taking place. Some areas of project will be opened for construction at different times; this plan must be followed by all workers.  Any means of access/emergency egress leading to or from the building which finds itself under any type of work will be provided with overhead protection.  At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the buildings in which they are not scheduled to work in…  Non-fraternization with staff, visitors or students will be stressed with all subcontractor personnel during orientations. 

Adjacent Property: All steps will be taken to limit the effects of the project on the surrounding community.  Special attention will be paid to the access point of each building so as not to impede access. 

Exposure to Street Traffic: All deliveries will be made at a designated location unless otherwise directed by Superintendent.  Deliveries will not be allowed Monday through Friday from 7:30-8:30am and 2:00-3:00PM. There will be exposure to live vehicular traffic and police details will be used when required. All speed limits will be obeyed, and deliveries will be made as to not coincide with other scheduled deliveries. . All traffic control signage (if needed) will meet CCC and town requirements before being installed.  Coordination with CCC as well as its police will be required when any equipment will be set up/used in the street/parking lot. Fire department access will be maintained and kept open for emergency responders.

Utility Exposures All utilities entering the site will be marked prior to the start of demolition. Written notification of this work will be provided to CCC prior to commencement of Demolition work.  There are overhead power line hazards located on Wendell St side feeding the existing buildings. Also, catenary lines run along Mass Ave perpendicular to the building on the same side of the street.

Planning:  The project team as well as CCC safety department will meet with each subcontractor before they start to review their Site-Specific Safety and Health Program and all project specific Job Hazard Analyses. The project team shall be an integrated mix of owner, architect, engineer, and Consigli Construction personnel.  If, after reviewing programs and meeting with the individual subcontractor, the team is satisfied with the risk control direction, they will be permitted to begin work. 

Additional Controls: Prior to stat of any work, all personnel involved in the project, including project managers must be:

1. Trained and orientated by Consigli Construction.  Stickers will be issued and displayed on hard hats

2. All workers will provide Consigli with an OSHA 10 card.

3. All CCC worker will complete mandatory drug screening.

4. All workers will complete a CORI check before accessing the site.

The SDS sheets associated with any hazardous substances to be used will be maintained by the superintendent in a marked three ring binder or stored electrically on Procore.

Site Safety Meetings will take place at the beginning of the project and at least once every week thereafter. These meetings will consist of toolbox talks with Consigli Construction Co., Inc. personnel on site. Sub-contractors will be responsible for their own safety meetings. Superintendent will complete a daily site safety walk to identify and correct potential hazards.

All emergency telephone numbers will be posted in the superintendent’s office.

Safety Spot Recognition Plan: The purpose of this plan is to instantly recognize workers  “on the spot” for working safely and to reward those workers immediately. This will assist CCC reduce the complacency of workers on all of our projects. Members from the CCC and owner project team (Supers, PM, APM, PE,OPM, Architect, Owners, etc..) will be provided with 5$ Dunkin Donut gift cards prior to their walk on site. They are to present these cards to workers who are working safely and or those taking additional steps to work safely. After issuing the card, the name and hard hat sticker number of the worker as well as a brief description of what they were doing will be documented in a log that will be maintained in the field office. This shall be completed at a minimum of twice a week. It is required that different field staff take turns in issuing the cards to workers in the field. Also required will be the communication of who is be recognized to other sub-contractors/workers through foreman meetings and daily stand up’s. at the end of the project the sub-contractor who has had the most workers recognized will receive an appropriate acknowledgment from CCC as well as some type of reward that is to be determined by CCC field staff.

Management: Program implementation and management will be measured in Predictive Solutions Monthly Management Audit. Loss related exposures will involve, cuts, scrapes, and strains related to window and roof material installations.  Controls will involve use of gloves and materials handling equipment.  Fall protection related hazards will be limited to working on roofs, scaffold, window openings, aerial lifts and access upper elevations.  This will be controlled through use of well-maintained and inspected PFAS, scaffolding and ladders as well as training on proper Aerial lift use. 

Fraternization between construction employees and project owners, staff, Students or visitors will not be permitted.  Loud and profane language or clothing with offensive language will not be allowed on the jobsite. Extra efforts must be made to keep noise to a minimum.
