Site Safety Plan
Scope of Proposed Operations: Replacing finishes throughout the sports club including: tile and carpet flooring, wall finishes, lighting, millwork in Locker Rooms. Sports club to be active during construction. Work to be phased over a 12 month period throughout different areas of the facility.
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.
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 points and be coordinated with the general contractor. Also only permitted truck routes will be used. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to the logistics plan, which will be made available to all sub-contractors. All deliveries will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent.
Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval): Work shall take place during business hours, Monday – Friday 7:00am to 3:30pm. There will also be some off-hours work at times. Any work which may need to take place outside of normal hours will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent, and may need to be coordinated with WS development.
Demolition: Prior to the start of any demo operations, the demo contractor 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 ontification 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
Fall Protection: General work over 6 feet will require some form of fall protection in accordance with CCC fall protection policy. All scaffold erectors will maintain the ability to have fall protection by donning a harness and lanyard at all times during erection.
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.
Before any work is to begin on the roof, it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented (fall protection plan, 100% tie off, guard rails, flagging etc.) 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 in to the maximum distance.
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 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.
**Review Chapter 13 for more detail
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 tie off. Step ladders will not be used as a form of access to a walking /working level. 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. Basic ladder safety must be adhered to at all times.
Scaffold and elevated work platforms: All scaffolds (except bakers and form brackets) will be inspected daily, before each shift by a competent person designated by each individual contractor that will be using it. The inspections will be documented on Inspection tags located at the access point to each scaffold. A scaffold checklist will be provided by CCC to the subcontractors’ designated persons to aid them with their inspection. This checklist will be filled out prior to the beginning of each shift and filed in the construction office. Overhead protection will be provided for all access points at any buildings which are located under any form of scaffolding.
The base of the scaffold will require protection from unauthorized individuals. This shall be either a site fence or the base of the scaffold shall be wrapped with plywood extending 8’ in height. 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.
