Site Safety Plan

Scope of Proposed Operations:  This project has a start date of August 2017 and has a substantial completion date currently scheduled for October of 2017. Project hours will be between 7:00am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday unless otherwise approved by Consigli Construction. This process will entail demolition of existing conditions in the office space, and refitting the space with new drywall, and MEPs. This space will serve as the sales center for the owner to sell units to buyers during 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.

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): All deliveries and waste removal shall be done using the newly established loading dock and Man/Material Hoist off Quaker lane in the back of the building’s alley.  All contractors will be responsible for adhering to City of Boston 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.

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 5:00pm, any work which may  need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent.

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

Demolition:  There will be limited demo throughout this project. Prior to the start of demo operations, the contractor preforming demo will need to confirm in writing 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 spay painted Red are not to be touched and 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.

Excavations: . Excavation work is not anticipated for this project. A hazardous materials survey shall be reviewed before breaking ground. All 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 inspection will be done if the excavation exceeds 5’. The following will apply:

  1. Dig Safe Notification – A dig safe number will be obtained and posted in the site office.
  2. Jackie’s Law (520CMR 14.00) will be strictly adhered to and permitting will be obtained. A copy will be posted in construction office.
  3. Copies of shoring 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 construction office.
  4. Hazardous Materials Survey.

**Review Chapter 19 for more detail

Fall Protection In essence: all workers exposed to a fall of 6′ or greater shall be protected by guardrails, safety nets or personnel fall arrest systems. Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole.  Each “hole” cover shall be capable of supporting 2x the intended load. Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled with duct or Pipe riser extends above the deck. Building perimeters shall be protected with cable guard rail systems with turnbuckles installed for all straight runs and any straight run over 100 feet.                               

Before any work is to begin on the roof it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented and said fall protection put into place before work commences.                                     

**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 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. It is important to note that any scaffolding will be inspected daily before each shift by a competent person designated by each contractor using it. It will be documented on Inspection tags located on any section.  A scaffold checklist guide will be provided by CCC to each subcontractor’s competent person to aid them with their daily inspection. All contractors who will be erect scaffolding 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’. Mobile 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. 

** Please review chapter 14 for additional details.  

Aerial/Scissor Lifts:  If aerial lifts are required 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. Any lifts being brought inside the building will need confirmation of the floors capability to support such lifts.  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.  Equipment mats, designed to withstand ground bearing pressures, will be placed above any utility/ underground structures only after a PE approves integrity of the protection.   

Chemical and Materials:  All Materials and chemicals used on-site will have Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s) provided before being brought onsite.

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