POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS)
PCB’s are not suspected in any of our planned work surfaces/task. 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 finished suspected to contain PCB which test for more than 50 ppm will be considered PCB containing material and will be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of organic compounds with 1 to 10 chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, which is a molecule composed of two benzene rings. In construction, they are commonly found in transformers, hydraulics, light ballasts, cable insulation, adhesives/tapes, paint, caulking and floor finishes. If PCBs have been identified on site, they must be tested to determine the PCB content. Any bulk PCB containing material greater than 50 ppm must be abated. Residual building materials (any concrete, mortar, or materials that abut known bulk PCB materials) that contain PCBs that are ≥ 1 ppm and are adjacent to bulk PCB materials must also be abated.Section 14- Trenching & Shoring Plan
There is no trenching or excavation associated with this project.Section 15 – Confined Spaces
There are no confined spaces associated with this project.Section 16 – Scaffolding Plan
Scaffold use is not anticipated on this project based on the scope of work.Section 17 – Fall Protection Plan
Not Required on this project at this time. Elevated work shall be limited to ladder-based activities.Section 18 – Means of Access
All construction employees will be limited to work areas as denoted in the Project Documents unless specifically coordinated otherwise with AOC. Personnel will access the Hart Senate Office Building through 24-hour security checkpoint in Dirksen Senate Office Building. Jobsite access for all deliveries will be made through the Hart Senate Garage; Please see Exhibit P for jobsite access layout.Section 19 – Multi-Employer Worksite Plan
This project will follow the OSHA Directive CPL 02-00-124, “Multi-Employer Citation Policy”. Per this directive, four employer categories will be established: controlling, creating, exposing, and correcting. Consigli Construction will, unless otherwise noted, serve as the controlling employer overseeing all activities within this scope of work. Should an incident occur on-site between Consigli’s major trade contractors, one or more of these will be identified as the creating employer(s) while the remainder will be identified as the exposing employer(s). If the exposing employer also caused the scope violation, then they will be held accountable. The exposing employer will be held accountable if it did not take safety measures to protect its employees. Finally, the contractor that takes corrective actions to remedy the violation will be identified as the correcting employer. Each company will ensure that their employees are trained to properly use PPE and perform safe means and methods while also communicating on-site about potential hazardous from other contractor’s work.Section 20 – Demolition
Prior to the start of demolition, Consigli shall identify any potential equipment requiring “make safe” before the relocating, supporting, or removing of any lines that interfere with the Scope of Work. The electrician will “make safe” all items that may be damaged during relocation/removal process. Consigli have been provided existing utility drawings and these will be consulted in designing the demolition work plan. Consigli will then confirm that all utilities leading into the area have been made safe. Lock-out/tag-out and live equipment will be reviewed with subsequent subcontractors during the pre-construction safety meetings as required to ensure protection of existing utilities and site conditions are safe for construction activities to commence. The lock-out/tag-out tag procedure is attached as Exhibit D. In the event any utilities, electrical sources, etc. need to remain live to facilitate demolition, a color coding system will be utilized for easy identification of live utilities. Any utilities painted Red are live, not to be touched, and need to be protected during all operations. Utilities painted Green are to be removed as part of the selective demolition process (after lock-out/tag-out has been confirmed and utilities tested). If any utilities are unmarked, they shall be considered live. Consigli will be responsible for completing the Consigli demo checklist prior to the start of any new work. Temporary protection, if needed, will consist of either hard barrier walls or full poly walls. Sweeping compound will be used daily for dust control. Debris from any demolition will be removed through the work day and working surfaces will be kept free and clear of debris at all times.Section 21 – Crane Plan
Please refer to Appendix Q for Crane Lift and Traffic Plan. The crane will be setup on Constitution Ave NE and the new generator will be lowered into generator room through the air shaft. A road closure will be needed during this operation. The crane selected is a Link-Belt HTC 6110 with 48,600lbs in counterweight, lifting at 51% capacity. Backup crane will be a Grove GMK5165-2 with 40,700lbs in counterweight, lifting at 64% capacity. Neither scenario constitutes as a critical lift since cranes will be operating at below 75% capacity. Crane inspection reports are also attached in Appendix Q. A certified crane operator and qualified rigger will be provided by WO Grubb for this operation.Section 22 – Incident Investigation Plan
