Project Specific Loss Exposures and Controls
Scope of Proposed Operations: This project consists of a five-story Podium building containing commercial office space on the first two floors and Cellar level containing emergency shelter administrative offices and related facilities as well as other leasable commercial office space for non-profit organizations that are permitted users with similar purpose that are complementary service providers with the emergency shelter and the top three floors and penthouse containing emergency shelter dwelling units, resident community spaces and outdoor activity spaces for the residents of the emergency shelter.
The Podium Building will be commercial use Type I-A construction for the Cellar, Ground and Second Floors. The Third, Fourth, Fifth and Penthouse Floors are residential type III-A construction. The two construction types will be separated by a 3 hour horizontal concrete slab building separation. All vertical shafts will be rated 2 hours.
The building will contain 32,251 square feet of gross floor area (“GFA”). The lowest level of the building (Cellar) will have a ceiling height that is less than 4 feet above the adjacent finished grade and the finish floor will be less than 6 feet above the adjacent finished grade, thus constitutes a “cellar”, which is excluded from the calculation of GFA. Subtitle B, § 100.2. This Cellar level will contain leasable office spaces, areaways along the north side of the building, mechanical and utility spaces, and storage areas. The Ground Floor of the building will contain 6,124 GFA, with a main building entrance on the north side of the building, leasable offices space, and an entrance for the emergency shelter with access to ground floor intake offices, dwelling units on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors, and Penthouse house level resident community spaces. The Second Floor will contain 6,583 GFA that will be occupied by the emergency shelter administration offices and other leased office space.
The Third, Fourth and Fifth Floors will contain 6,388, 6,578 and 6,578 GFA respectively, and will consist of 30 residential dwelling units (9-studios, 14-one bedroom, 1-accessible one bedroom, 3-two bedroom, 1-accessible two bedroom and 2-three bedroom units) and a Laundry Facility located on the Third Floor for use by the Emergency Shelter residents. The dwelling units have the ability to be inter-connected by way of shared doorways to allow for larger family situations. Each dwelling unit will contain a bathroom and kitchen area. All dwelling units will be completely furnished, and will include bath and kitchen supplies. The Emergency Shelter also provides on-site caseworkers and other staff, which will provide services and support to assist families in their time of crisis and transition. Safety for all emergency shelter residents will be supported with a surveillance system located throughout the emergency shelter public areas. Security guards will be used during certain non-office hours. Access will also be restricted using electronic access system including proximity readers, keypads, electronic hardware to provide controlled access throughout the facility.
The Penthouse Level will contain approximately 1,349 square feet of rooftop space that will be used as an outdoor play area for emergency shelter resident children, an approximately 293 square foot outdoor space for adults and an approximately 2,049 square feet enclosed communal recreation space. The remainder of the rooftop will be used for a green roof. The Penthouse rooftop will be used for mechanical equipment and a green roof. There are two elevators, one located off the main building entrance lobby which only provides access the the Terrace, Ground and Second Floors and the second elevator is centrally located and provides secure access to the Emergency Shelter portion of the building for all levels including the Penthouse. There are two exit stair wells that provides access and emergency egress to all floors, main roof and Penthouse. The Penthouse Floor is communal recreation and amenity space for the Emergency Shelter.
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.
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 section R (Superintendent Report) 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): IAQ will be reviewed if necessary with the scope of work being conducted. If tenants occupy the building before construction complete and IAQ may be utilized.
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. This plan will ensure that adjoining areas have not been contaminated during abatement, demolition, and construction. Fire rated 6 mil poly 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. 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 **

Environmental Emergency Contact and Management Response
The building is to be razed for new construction. An asbestos inspection and lead-based paint screening were completed to meet DC and EPA regulatory requirements. Testing was performed by Kemal Eralp and Dennis C Lynch on January 23, 2019.
All areas were inspected except a few locked closets, a medical pharmacy, and roof. There was no stairway access to the roof.
Asbestos was found in older floor tile and some exterior window caulk. The roof was inaccessible and not sampled. Roofing may be sampled during building demo or left in place. Roofing materials, caulk, and resilient flooring like floor tile are considered non-friable materials and generally may be left in place during normal building demolition.
Lead-based paint was found on painted brick walls interior and exterior and several other components. CEA recommends one additional test be completed to show representative building components non-hazardous for lead. This will be required for landfill disposal. This is a TCLP test of representative building materials prior to disposal in a construction and debris landfill.
Lead and asbestos were found in the building. Asbestos containing floor tile, window caulking, and lead on painted surfaces may remain during building demo. Roofing may remain and assumed to be non-friable asbestos-containing material.
Demolition should be completed to minimize dust generation; wetting the structure to minimize dust generation is recommended. Waste materials should be disposed of in a construction and debris landfill and should not be ground up and used as road fill.
Survey results are described below; results are shown on Tables 1-3 attached; asbestos laboratory results are attached; photographs are attached.
Hazmat report is available upon request at the Consigli Field Office.
Lead Paint: Lead-based paint screening was performed throughout the building and on exterior walls. Lead-based paint positive surfaces are shown on Table 2 of hazmat report located at field office; all Lead-Based Paint Data are shown on Table 3 of hazmat report located at field office. Summary results are listed below. Lead-based paint was found on one or more of the following surfaces:
Structural steel beams and columns
Brick walls, interior and exterior
Wall, block (glazed, painted)
Lintels, metal
Ceilings and beams, wood, older or original
Window casing, wood
Painted brick showed elevated levels of lead-in-paint. Levels ranged from 0 lead on some surfaces to 27.1 mg/cm2 lead on exterior courtyard brick. Lead is regulated at levels of 1.0 mg/cm2 and above. Building construction materials should be tested using a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Test (TCLP) for lead to determine if the combined waste is regulated as hazardous. Test results 5 parts per million lead or greater are regulated as lead waste.
All paint located on the building exterior/interior will be classified as containing lead. Consigli workers 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 for any task on painted surfaces prior to the work taking place. 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.
Hazmat report is available upon request at the Consigli Field Office.
Dust Management
- When removal of material, debris, rubbish, etc, any creation of dust needs to be limited for employee exposure.
- Wetting the structure to minimize dust generation is recommended
Asbestos:
The following below contains asbestos:
Window casement caulk-Exterior
Grey floor tile and mastic located under
12” x 12” black with white mottle floor tile – located Safe Space 2nd Floor Addition –
Kitchen
Grey floor tile under 12” x 12” back with
white mottle floor tile– located Safe Space 2nd Floor Addition –
Kitchen
Grey floor tile under black floor tile Mastic FT located Safe Space 2nd Floor – File Area
Grey floor tile under black floor tile Mastic FT Located Safe Space 2nd Floor – Forensic Exam Room
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL SUBCONTRACTOR FOREMEN TO REVIEW THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL REPORT WITH THEIR WORKERS. A copy of the hazardous Material report will be on site at all times and available to anyone request it. 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, who in turn, will notify the CCC Superintendent.
If at any time a worker come across a material, he/she cannot confirm as asbestos free or was previously hidden behind a wall they shall notify their supervisor immediately. All asbestos containing material will be fully removed by a licensed and regulate contractor under an asbestos removal plan which must be submitted and approved, all abatement work will be completed by a licensed Asbestos abatement contractor. All disposals will be done in compliance with State and Federal Regulations. Any worker who discovers any suspect material which cannot be confirmed as non-asbestos containing based on the Hazardous Materials Report shall immediately notify CCC superintendent who will then secure the area (if needed) and have the suspect material tested and treated as needed. Clearances will be provided to Consigli by Industrial hygienist prior to any workers entering the area.
Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCBs): At no time, shall a worker disturb any material he/she can not readily identify. If they come across a material he/she can not confirm, they shall notify their supervisor immediately. If PCB’s are found in existing finishes. All suspect PCB containing finishes which test for more than 50 ppm it will be considered PCB containing material and will be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Light ballast that are not labeled “NO PCB’s” will be considered 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.
A hand wash station will be established and maintained for the project duration
At no time, shall a worker disturb or move a material he/she can not readily identify, if they discover such a material they must notify the Superintendent immediately.
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 giving to WHCC so as 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: Any activity which can produce silica dust will use engineering controls to keep dust to a minimum. There will be no dry cutting of any masonry material allowed; if water can not be used then a dustless vacuum system consisting of a HEPA dustless vacuum system will be used in conjunction with an exposure assessment if table 1 cannot be complied with. Prior to the project going full scale an exposure assessment of a worker grinding ,demolition and cutting masonry while using HEPA system will be done so as to establish the silica exposure level if water cannot be used to eliminate or table 1 complied with. No respirators will be issued to CCC workers 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. 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.
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 6am and 3:30pm; any contractor who may need to work late must first seek approval from the CCC Superintendent. Interior work will take place between 7pm -3am. 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.
Equipment issues: All operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate licensing and 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.
Equipment checklists are required to be filled out daily and submitted to Consigli project team.
Exposure to the Visitors and Staff: During the different phases of the project. Non-fraternization with staff or visitors will be stressed with all subcontractor personnel during orientations.
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.
Any questions regarding the project or jobsite, please direct to the Consigli superintendent.
Adjacent Property: All steps will be taken to limit the effects of the project on the surrounding community. Special attention will be paid to the access point of each building so as not to impede access. A Site Logistics plan will be created by Consigli project team.
