Site Safety Plan
Scope of Proposed Operations: The project will begin in June 2022 and will end November 2023. Project hours will be between 7:00am and 3:30pm Monday through Friday. There will be roughly 30 – 100
workers at the height of construction. The project will consist of the abatement and demolition of selected areas of the existing building some of these areas include the main entrance, elevator and façade of the existing structure. The removal and replacement of existing MEP and life safety will also take place. Architectural changes (sheet rock walls, acoustical & hard ceilings, flooring/plumbing and electrical finishes will occur in phases throughout. Site work will consist of new drain, sewer and site drainage configuration changes and typical landscaping finishes to complete the project.
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, jobsite gym); 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 CCC 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 and other CCC projects to prevent reoccurrence.
Contractor Orientation: All workers on-site must complete the Consigli site orientation training by watching a video and displaying the orientation sticker on their hardhat once orientation is complete.
Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): Main construction access will be restricted to routes pre-determined by Consigli. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to CCC restrictions and regulations in regard to driving and delivering materials. All material and debris will process through the laydown yard located on the Oak Street side of the project. All personnel will access through the emergency department. Pedestrians will be given the right of way at all times. Parking will be designated in pre-determined contractor parking locations and reviewed during orientation.
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 3:30pm, any work which may need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent.
Exposure to the Visitors, Staff, and Students: During all phases of construction, the buildings and pedestrian walkways in the surrounding area will be open and occupied. Some areas of project will be under construction at different times; the phasing plan must be followed by all workers. Access routes used by the workers for moving materials and debris will be communicated to the workers and updated as needed. At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the adjacent occupied building/spaces unless they have received approval from CCC. Non-fraternization with staff, visitors or public will be stressed with all subcontractor personnel during orientations.
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.
Excavations: All required permitting will be obtained before any excavating is to begin, tabulated data/engineering for shoring and shielding systems will be on site at all times when in use. Written excavation inspections will be done daily.
1. Dig Safe Notification.
2. City/town (dpw or town hall) or campus permits requirements if needed.
3. Jackie’s law permitting has been obtained.
4. All road plates that will be in pedestrian walkways will be slip resistant
Workers preforming site work will be make sure to remove all underground tanks mentioned in site report per all MA and state guidelines.
Note: All water pumped off the site cannot be discharged anywhere other than the job site. (See dewatering plan)
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 are needing 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 and capable of supporting 2x the intended load (cover must be able to withstand 2x times 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. 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 All workers working on a roof with a slope greater than 4 to 1 and exposed to a fall greater than 6 feet will have fall protection 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. All subcontractors will be responsible for barricading/taping off areas below their elevated work. The use of safety Monitors is not allowed!
**Review Chapter 13 for more detail
Roof Work: Before any work is to begin on the roof it must be determined what sections of the roof will be worked and what method of fall protection will be implemented.

Asbestos: A Hazardous Materials report has been prepared by the owner ACM has been found but not limited to are 12’x12” Gray tile & associated mastic, Joint compound/Plaster associated with walls and ceilings, sink undercoating’s, caulking and glazing associated with interior and exterior windows, duct sealants, mastic associated roof fields and skylights, damp proofing associated with exterior masonry walls and Thermal System Insulation.
This does not mean that asbestos could not still be found in other areas (i.e., behind walls, mechanical chases, or under walls) 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 always on site and available to anyone request it.
All work and disposal will be done in compliance with state and federal regulations and standards.
Lead: For renovation projects, all panted surfaces both interior and exterior of the existing building will 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 task 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 masks 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 Milford Regional. All other inquiries or locations regarding 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 load noise will be monitored and hospital staff will be notified of locations and dates/times of potential elevated noise levels.
** Please review chapter 29 for additional details.
Exposure to the Visitors, Staff and Public: During all phases of construction pedestrian walkways around the project will be open and occupied. Some areas of project will be opened for construction at different times. Any pedestrian walkway under any type of scaffold or overhead hazard will be provided with overhead protection. At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the adjacent buildings.
Fraternization between construction employees and project owners, staff, public 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
Additional Controls: Prior to start of any work, all personnel involved in the project, including project managers must be:
- Trained and orientated by Consigli Construction. Stickers will be issued and displayed on hard hats.
- Additional badging (if required) completed, accordingly.
- Receive covid 19 & flu shot and show proof of completion (if required)
Planning: The project team will meet with the Lawrence School Facilities and Environmental Safety & Health (EHS) staff before the project start to review any site-specific safety and health requirements. The project team shall be an integrated mix of owner, architect, engineer, and Consigli Construction personnel.
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 our projects. Members from the CCC and project teams (Supers, PM, APM, PE, OPM, Architect, Owners, etc..) will be provided with 5$ MH cafeteria gift certificates 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 ups. 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.
