Site Safety Plan
Scope of Proposed Operations: Beginning in June 2020, the Higgins Hall project will consist of approximately 4,000 square feet of lab renovations. The project will require selective demolition in order to enable a new configuration of interior partitions. Ductwork and other MEP changes will be made within the space. Hoods will be removed to allow for new equipment. ADA upgrades will be made as a part of the project.
The project will run through the summer for approximately 6 weeks. The final product will conclude with floor patching and new paint/ceiling/floor finishes as needed throughout.
Site Access / Parking: A logistics plan has been created for the project that details delivery routes, employee access, and parking.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA): A JSA shall be conducted for each identifiable feature of work to be performed. The JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor.
