Site Safety Plan

Scope of Proposed Operations: This project consists of asbestos abatement and demolition of part of the structure that is not being relocated.  Once the abatement is complete, demolition can begin as well as the structural support of the farmhouse to be relocated.  A new foundation will be poured, and the farmhouse will be set on the new foundation.

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.  

Contractor Orientation:  Upon arrival of all site crew members completion of the Consigli Construction site orientation, that will review all elements of the Consigli Safety Program, is required.  Once all orientation and initial training is completed Consigli hardhat stickers will be issued. 

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): All deliveries and waste removal shall be done using the pre-determined entrance communicated to contractors prior to start. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to City of Portland restrictions and regulations in regard to driving, parking and delivering materials. Pedestrians will be given the right of way at all times. Parking will not be designated.

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval):  All work shall take place during business hours, 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.

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

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 N (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.

Excavations: Required permitting will be obtained before any excavating is to begin.  If necessary, tabulated data/engineering for shoring and shielding systems will be obtained and available on site at all times when in use. All excavations will be inspected by a competent person on a daily basis.  Written excavation inspections will be done if the excavation exceeds 5’. 

    • Dig Safe Notification/utility locator – number/report will be posted in office if needed.

    • Copies of soil engineering and tabulated data sheets for all trench boxes or other    shoring/shielding systems brought on site will be provided to CCC and be kept in the construction office.

    • City or Town permit requirements (DPW & Town Hall) if needed.

    • Soil onsite shall be pre-characterized for contaminants prior to any export from site. 

**Review Chapter 19 for more detail

Demolition:Prior to the start of demo operations, the contractor performing 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.  Fall protection required activities shall include, but are not limited to, steel erection (roof steel dunnage), leading edge work, roof framing, roofing installation, and exterior finishes.  Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole and capable of supporting 2x the intended load (cover must be able to withstand 2x times the intended axle load). 

Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled with duct or Pipe riser which extends above the deck. Building perimeters and mezzanine leading edges shall be protected with cable guard rail system with turnbuckles to be installed for all straight runs and any straight run.                                

Before any work is to begin on the roof, it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented.  All workers working on a roof with a slope greater than 4 to 1 and exposed to a fall greater than 6 feet will have fall protection 100%of the time spent in this location.  Workers on a roof with a slope less than 4 to 1 may put flagging (six feet for roofers-15 feet for everyone else) lines up, whenever roofers and any other trade are on the same roof then the flagging must be pulled back to the maximum distance. All material will need to be kept a minimum of 6’ from the roof edge, any materials that may be blown off of the roof shall be secured/weighted down. 

The use of Safety Monitors is not permitted!!!               

**Review Chapter 13 for more detail

Steel Erection: Steel workers will be required to use fall protection at 6′. Consigli will release documentation when column footings reach 75% of breaking strength.  The steel erection sub will be required to submit a detailed erection sequencing plan that illustrates crane locations and capacity of cranes at those locations. Decks will only be turned over for general use after they have undergone an inspection by a member of the CCC safety department. 

The steel erection sub will be required to submit a detailed erection sequencing plan that illustrates crane locations and capacity of cranes at those locations.  Fall protection will be determined for connectors after pre-construction meeting with sub is held.  Fall protection will be required at 6’, at all times during steel erection

Once decking is complete and all required fall protection is installed, CCC will walk the area with the steel erection subcontractor.  Provided all required elements of fall protection are in place, CCC will complete and give a copy of the “custody of fall protection” form to the steel erection subcontractor.  Maintenance and overall responsibility of the fall protection system will fall to CCC.

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, 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.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms:  All scaffolds; supported frame, pipe staging and aerial lift and scissor lift platforms 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 to each section. A scaffold checklist guide will be provided by CCC to each sub-contractor’s designated persons upon request to aid them with their daily inspection. All sub-contractors will be required to complete a written scaffold inspection once their scaffold is completed. After the initial written inspection, they will be responsible for inspecting and signing an inspection tag on a daily. 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. Overhead protection will be provided for all access points at any buildings which are located under any form of scaffolding.

Fall protection is required at 6’ on all scaffolds, on mobil scaffold fall protection is required at 4’. Mobil staging with a work platform with a height to base ratio greater than two to one will require outriggers. All scaffolding that is procured by CCC and is over 15’ in height will require that the CCC Safety Department review the scaffold prior to it being turned over for use by tradesmen.

100 Tosca Drive Stoughton, MA 02072 

Silica: 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; and 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.

 There will be no dry cutting of any masonry material allowed; if water cannot be used then a dustless vacuum system consisting of HEPA dustless vacuum system will be used.  Prior to the project going full scale an exposure assessment of a worker grinding and cutting masonry while using the HEPA system an exposure assessment will be done so as to establish the silica exposure level.  No respirators will be issued 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.

Asbestos: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SUBCONTRACTOR FOREMEN TO REVIEW

THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL REPORT WITH THEIR WORKERS. 

Hazardous Materials report has been prepared by the building owner is located in the field office and is available for review at any time. A complete list of suspect ACMs and their location can be found in the hazardous material report which will be filed in the office and available for review at any time.  

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. All identified asbestos will be fully abated by a licensed and regulated asbestos abatement contractor under a formal plan to be written, submitted and in accordance with the DEP. This Hazardous Materials Report will be available on site at all times.   

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. 

Below is a list of known ACM:

Basement

HVAC Duct Tape  Approx. 40 square feet

Demo Section

9” x 9” Floor Tile & Mastic   Approx. 450 square feet

Chapel 111, 109 & Kitchen 106

Exterior Tar Paper    Approx. 3,750 square feet

Under clapboard siding

Section to be Moved

Sheet Flooring (floor & countertop) Approx. 50 square feet

Toilet 103A

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.

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.

** Please review chapter 22 for additional details

Noise: Noise exposure will be a concern so all operations must be coordinated with the Consigli Superintendent to limit any excess noise impact on the surrounding areas. All activity r task which may cause load noise will be restricted as needed so as to limit the impact on neighbors.

** Please review chapter 29 for additional details

Exposure to the Visitors, Staff: During all phases of construction pedestrian walkways around the project will be open and occupied. Any pedestrian walkway under any type of scaffold or overhead hazard will be provided with overhead protection. At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the adjacent buildings.  Non fraternization with staff  and guests will be stressed with all subcontractor personnel during orientations. 

Additional Controls: Prior to start 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 hat.

    1. All individuals working on this project will go through a comprehensive Safety Orientation which will cover all company safety rules regulations and procedures as well as communicating St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center specific requirements. 

Planning:  The project team will meet with the staff before the project start to review any site specific safety and health requirements. The project team shall be an integrated mix of owner, architect, engineer and Consigli Construction personnel.  If, after reviewing programs and meeting with the individuals, the team is satisfied with the risk control direction, personnel will be permitted to begin work.
