Site Safety Plan

 

Scope of Proposed Operations: This project will be starting Spring 2020 and will run for about 2.5 years. The work will include the construction of a new 5 floor patient tower with a connector to the existing hospital.  Level 1 of the building will include the new entry and café.  The basement will house the mechanical systems for the new tower. The roof will have a penthouse with other mechanical equipment.  Finishes for the work will include the first floor and new patient rooms on level 3 & 4.  Level 2 & 5 will be left as core and shell for future fit out. 

Exterior work will include site improvements and utility work.  The new tower connector will connect to the existing hospital at every level which will require selective demolition of exterior façade to connect.  The project will conclude with interior and exterior finishes of the new tower and landscaping outside. 

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.  

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.  This site specific safety plan is used as a project specific supplement to the Consigli Construction Safety Program.

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Logistics Plan): For this project, all deliveries and waste removal shall be coordinated with Consigli. Due to activities of the existing hospital campus, deliveries are required to be scheduled with Consigli (delivery board) and follow the posted logistics plan.  All contractors will be responsible for adhering to truck routes and restrictions plan which will be made available to all sub-contractors.

Sample Logistics Plan:

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval):  All material host related 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.

Evacuation Plan (RACE, and Routes of Egress): Please refer to the Evacuation Plans attached.  All Consigli employees shall attend the Project Safety Orientation.  Consigli Construction’s Job Supervisor will conduct a safety orientation talk to each employee and subcontractor to site specific fire safety protocols.

Emergency Management Response: In the event of an Emergency the construction workers shall leave the building immediately. Follow the posted evacuation plan to the Muster Point. 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

• Your location (Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. 1 Medical Center Dr. Lebanon, NH) phone number, and name;

• The location of the incident (building, floor and room number);

• Nature and extent of the incident (injury, accident, spill, smoke/fire, damage, etc.);

• The name and amount of the material spilled (if applicable); and

• The safest route to the spill (if applicable).

** Please review chapter 8 for additional details.  

Pretask Plans:  Pre-task Plans, Job Hazard Analysis, Job Safety Analysis or other similar type shall be conducted prior to all and any operation.  Said plan to be reviewed initially with all involved personnel performing that task, signed by all workers including their supervisor and filed on site.

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 CCC 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 hands 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.

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 task.

Services:  Any compromises to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical services during the work performed will be handled accordingly 

  • Adjacent areas shall be notified before all work that may compromise service or impact patients, visitors, or staff.
  • During weekly project meetings, if needed upcoming work that may compromise service or impact guest/staff/public shall be talked about with facility’s managers and scheduled for off shift if the group decides it will be needed.
  • The on-site superintendent shall make weekly contact with Project Manager for the duration of the project.

Excavations:  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. One are of the building will require Support of Excavation (SOE) along the existing building.  All excavations will be inspected by a competent person on a daily basis.  Written excavation inspections will be done if the excavation exceeds 5’. 

1. Dig Safe Notification – dig safe number will be obtained and posted in the site office.

2. Public protection will be installed around any excavations.  Excavations outside of the site fence will be covered or filled every day. 

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.

**Review Chapter 19 for more detail**

Heavy Equipment:  All operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate training as required by OSHA.  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.

Demolition:  Prior to the start of any 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 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.

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.

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 at a height at or greater than 10 feet or could be exposed to a fall greater than the height of their work on the ladder or within 15’ of a stairwell 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. The roof will be made water tight by the end of each shift.

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.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms/Material Hoist:  All scaffolds/material hoist supported frame, pipe staging and 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. 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. Overhead protection will be provided for all access points to any buildings located under any form of scaffolding/material hoist.

Consigli Safety Program requires that all rolling scaffolds (baker scaffolds) be equipped with guardrails when the working deck is above 4 feet.  Outriggers are required for all rolling scaffolds when the working height reaches 2x the width of the scaffold.  

**Please review chapter 14 for additional details.**  

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!!

Environmental Emergency Contact and Management Response

Environmental Issues: A hazardous material report was created for Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. This report will be on site at all times and available for review.  As necessary, follow-up sampling and reporting may be required.

Lead Paint: All painted surfaces will be considered lead Containing. Consigli workers who may need to disturb a lead containing 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 that has been identified as lead containing prior to the work being mass preformed. 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. A hand wash station will be established and maintained for the project duration.

Asbestos: A complete list of 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.  A complete list of ACM 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.  ACM that will need to be abated will be done so by a NH licensed asbestos contractor.   

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 NHDES.

 IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SUBCONTRACTOR FOREMEN TO REVIEW THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL REPORT & CORRESPONDING ABATEMENT PLAN WITH THEIR WORKERS.  A copy of the Hazardous Material report/abatement plan will be on site at all times and available to anyone request it.

All work and disposal will be done in compliance with state and federal regulations and standards.

All asbestos abatement will be performed by a licensed Asbestos removal/abatement contractor.

Any asbestos removal will be done under the supervision of qualified personnel.

The asbestos removal plan (if needed) and Haz Mat report will be available for review.  It is the responsibility of all subcontractor foremen to share this report with their respective workers.

All removal will be completed, prior to any one accessing said areas.

At no time, shall a worker disturb or move a material he/she cannot readily identify, if they discover such a material they must notify the Superintendent immediately.

Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs):  All suspect PCB containing finishes which test for more than 50 ppm will be considered PCB containing material. It and all presumed to be containing PCB material and will be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.

Light ballast may be found to contain PCB’s, All PCB containing material shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations and be coordinated with town. Any and all PCB remediation will be performed by a licensed /qualified contractor

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 given to the owner 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:   An 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.

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 a silica containing material while using the HEPA system an exposure assessment will be done so as to establish the silica exposure level. 

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. 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.

IAQ (indoor air quality): Phases of this project will occur adjacent to an occupied building.  During construction, 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. 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. If a hard barrier cannot be set up set up due to an unforeseen condition or emergency, a 6-mil poly barrier will then be used. This will only be allowed after approval from CCC Superintendent.

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.


Exposure to the Visitors, Patients, Staff and Public:  During all phases of construction, the existing building will be open and occupied.  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. An emergency egress route through the job site will be established and maintained during construction. At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the buildings in which they are not working in…  Non-fraternization with patients, staff, visitors or public 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 each 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.  Their 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 buildings scheduled deliveries. All traffic control signage (if needed) will meet town of Lebanon and DHMC requirements before being installed.  Coordination with them 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.

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. Proper badging (as necessary).
  2. Trained and orientated by Consigli Construction.  Stickers will be issued and displayed on hard hats
  3. All workers will provide Consigli with an OSHA 10 card.
  4. All CCC worker will complete mandatory drug screening.

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 project teams (Supers, PM, APM, PE, OPM, Architect, Owners, etc.) will be provided with $5 Dunkin Donut gift cards (or similar) 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 three times 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 meetings. 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.
