Site Safety Plan
Scope of Proposed Operations: The project entails the full interior renovation of the Cambridge Housing Authority (CHA) Millers River Apartment building in Cambridge, MA. The existing building is a nineteen story high-rise building with approximately 350 apartments with balconies. The work will require multiple phases of work in blocks of apartment floor. The building will be occupied on floors not under construction throughout the project. Consigli will work closely with Cambridge Housing Authority to reduce construction impacts on the residents and CHA staff. Additionally, the project will include the demolition of the existing community center. A temporary community center space will be constructed to ensure no gap in services.
Logistically, the project will be accessed via the existing stair towers at each end of the building and primarily with a man/material hoist erected on the exterior of the building. The existing core elevators will remain in service for building occupants with limited access to active construction floors.
Work on the project will commence with demolition and abatement on the interior of the units and the removal of the exterior glass and metal façade at each balcony. Once demolition is complete, the units will undergo Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing upgrades prior to complete installation of new finishes. Additionally, the building will receive new exterior metal panel and glass at the balcony spaces. For exterior work, crews will access the work via scaffolding and the use of aerial work platforms (scissor lifts and aerial lifts.)
All work will be coordinated closely with Millers River Apartments staff and Cambridge Housing Authority to reduce the impact on building operations and occupants. An Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) program will be in place to monitor for construction related air quality issues.
Sample Logistics Plan.
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-up stretch program); 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): Main construction access will be restricted to routes pre-determined by Millers River Apartments, CHA, and Consigli. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to Cambridge and CHA restrictions and regulations regarding driving, parking and delivering materials. Pedestrians will be given the right of way at all times. There is no parking allowed on the project.
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 (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.
IAQ (indoor air quality): This project will occur in an occupied building for a portion of the project. 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.
Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval): Project hours are to be 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Off-hours work must be scheduled with the CCC Superintendent in advance.
Life Safety: A detailed fire protection plan and NFPA 241 plan has been developed with input from Consigli, Code Red, and the building owner. All impairments to existing life safety systems will be correctly permitted and coordinated with the building manager and the Boston Fire Department.
Any penetration through smoke and fire walls for new plumbing or electrical circuits necessitates:
- Smoke and fire wall penetrations shall not be left unattended.
- All penetrations are sealed by the end of each work shift.
Notification of Automatic Sprinkler System or Fire Alarm system shall be to:
- Taj Fire Protection Program Manager
- Consigli Fire Protection Program Manager
- DPS Command Center
- Cambridge Fire Dept.
- Taj Project Management, as well as affected Staff
- All shut downs shall have a dedicated fire watch.
If it will be necessary to erect hard wall partitions in corridors adjacent to the work space:
- All affected occupants shall be notified of corridor width reduction.
- All occupants shall be aware of primary and secondary routes of egress.
- Additional egress signage shall be posted.
- Corridor storage is prohibited.
Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA): An AHA/JHA 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/JHA shall be reviewed weekly, signed by all workers including their supervisor, with all involved personnel performing that particular task.
Demolition: Prior to the start of 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 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
Fall Protection: Project fall exposures include any work on the roof, material hoist and scaffold erection, exterior demolition and new installation, mechanical shafts, and any work on the existing balconies. All work over 6 feet requires some form of fall protection in accordance with CCC fall protection policy. All fall protection for work preformed on Scaffold will be needed at a height of 6 feet or greater. 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 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. Building perimeters (to be protected with cable guard rail system with turnbuckles to be 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 (fall protection plan, 100% tie off, guard rails, flagging etc.) All workers working on a roof with a slope greater than 4 to 1 and exposed to a fall greater than 6 feet will be tied off 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. 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 2x 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.

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 off when installed for use. Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.
Scaffold and elevated work platforms: When scaffolds are to be used, all scaffolds, material hoist, mast climber, supported frame, pipe staging shall 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. 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.

Asbestos: A Hazardous Materials report has been prepared by and is available in the Consigli Field Office for review. Asbestos has been identified in the building. Asbestos abatement will be completed by a licensed/certified contractor. Asbestos has been found in the planned work areas. The complete table and “List of Materials tested, Quantities, and Locations” can be found with the hazardous material report. 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.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SUBCONTRACTOR FOREMEN TO REVIEW THE HAZOUDOS MATERIAL REPORT & CORRESPONDING ABATEMENT REPORT WITH THEIR WORKERS. A copy of the hazardous Material/abatement report will be on site at all times and available to anyone request it.
Due to the fact that some asbestos may remain in place and not be
abated during construction all workers will need to have at a minimum Asbestos awareness training.
All work and disposal will be done in compliance with state and federal regulations and standards
Lead: For renovation projects, all painted surfaces both interior and exterior of the existing must be considered lead containing, unless tested and show as otherwise. Consigli workers who will need to perform
work on these painted surfaces 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
by all subcontractors for all tasks prior to when the full scale of this work is to take place. This does not mean that lead 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 workers on this must have completed Lead Awareness training prior to starting on this project. Hand wash stations will be provided to ensure proper hygiene during the project. An exposure assessment will also be done for
any task which will disturb any lead containing material.
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.
Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs): At this time there are no activities
which are planned which would disturb any surface with suspect amounts of PCB’s. This does not mean that regulated levels of PCB’s 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.
Light ballast unless labeled “No PCB’S” will be designated PCB
containing, All PCB containing material shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with all local, state (MEMEP Special waste management rules 06-096-CMR 400) and federal regulations and be coordinated with the building owner. All other inquiries or locations in regards to PCB containing material can be located in the Hazardous Material survey. If identified on any of the materials to be impacted, PCB‘s will be abated. Any and all PCB remediation will be performed by a licensed /qualified
contractor
** Please review chapter 29 for additional details
Freon/Glycol: All Freon/Glycol materials will be removed from equipment and stored per manufacturer’s recommendations before it is disturbed, moved or removed. 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.
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.
** 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 activities and tasks which may cause loud noise will be monitored and building occupants will be notified of locations and dates/times of potential elevated noise levels.
** Please review chapter 29 for additional details
Exposure to the Visitors, Neighbors, and Occupants:
The Taj Hotel will be occupied during the initial phase of construction. CCC will provide temporary barricades and other forms of protection required to protect hotel guests, personnel, and the general public
from injury due to construction activities. Contractors must provide all
temporary barriers necessary to protect adjacent areas from dust, noise, etc. Contractors must also provide protective measures required to provide free and safe passage of Owner’s personnel and the general public to and from occupied portions of building.
Be alert to adjacent areas that may be affected by construction activities. Consider the possible effects of shock and vibration, dust, heat- or fire-generating equipment, liquids, products with strong odors. Also consider restaurant occupancy.
Fraternization between construction employees and project owners, staff, or visitors will not be permitted. Loud and profane language or clothing with offensive language will not be allowed on the jobsite. Extra efforts must be made to keep noise to a minimum
IAQ (indoor air quality): An indoor air quality report will be
conducted, and will be kept in the field office for reference. This
project will occur in an occupied building. During construction, the controls listed below will be implemented. This plan will ensure that adjoining areas have not been contaminated during abatement/demolition/construction. All ceiling/wall plaster will be considered PACM. Any subcontractor who will be disturbing a painted surface will perform a lead exposure assessment for the all activity/task they will need to perform on the painted surface. Exposure assessments/historical/objective data will be required for any task preformed on a silica containing material if water cannot be used
to eliminate or table one complied with. All equipment used on the inside to the building will be equipped with a scrubber or be of tier 4 type. Constant Co monitoring will be required if combustible engine is operated indoors. Negative air machines will also be used to
create a negative air flow into the work space to ensure that no dust and
debris enter non-construction areas. Kleen sweep will be used at all times whenever sweeping is required. HEPA Vacs will be the only type vacuums allowed on site. Engineering controls will be taken to eliminate dust on site.
** Please review chapter 29 for additional details
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 owner project team (Supers, PM, APM, PE,OPM, Architect, Owners, etc..) will be provided with 5$ Dunkin Donut gift cards 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 twice 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’s. 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.
