Site Safety Plan

Scope of Proposed Operations: Beginning in October 2022, Consigli will start work on Phase 2 of work in the BC Service Building. Previous Phase 1 work (enabling) was completed earlier in 2022. 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.

The work will consist of demolition and renovation of existing interior space at the BC Service Building into lab space. Work will run from Fall 2022 through Summer 2023.

Work onsite will include:

  • Select Demolition
  • Structural Demolition for new mechanical shaft
  • Roofing work – new equipment, etc.
  • Interior fit out.
  • Renovated exterior were required (maintenance bay doors, etc,)
  • New MEP/FP layout.
  • New finishes throughout
  • Landscaping and site work to complete.

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); 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.

Services: Any compromises to BC campus services during the work performed will be handled accordingly
• Adjacent areas shall be notified before all work that may compromise service or impact students or staff.

• During weekly project meetings, if needed upcoming work that may compromise service or impact guest/staff/students 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.

• Utility Exposures: Before any work is started that may impact known utilities, all due care will be taken to identify the locations of underground utilities. Subcontractors must review field conditions, as-built drawings, etc. to ensure that there is no impact to the utilities.

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): All deliveries and waste removal shall be done using access routes and travel areas defined by Consigli and Boston College. All activity shall be coordinated with CCC with at least 48 hours’ notice. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to City of Boston and Newton restrictions and regulations in regard to driving, parking and delivering materials. Pedestrians will be given the right of way at all times.

IAQ (indoor air quality): This project will occur in 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 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.

** Please review chapter 29 for additional details

Adjacent Property: All efforts will be made to ensure that property/areas adjacent to the work area remains un-impacted. Aside from some mechanical tie-in’s, it is anticipated that all work will be inside the designated work areas.

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.

Pre-task Planning: A Job Safety Analysis shall be conducted for each work task to be performed on a weekly basis. JSA’s shall be reviewed initially with all involved personnel performing that task, signed by all workers including their supervisor and filed on site.

Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA): An AHA/JSA depending on level of hazard shall be conducted for each identifiable feature of work to be performed. The AHA/JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor. AHA/JSA 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 performing 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 are 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

Excavations: Minimal to no excavation work required except for sitework related to exterior landscaping at the end of the project.

All excavations will be inspected by a competent person daily. 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. Jackie’s Law (520CMR 14.00) will be strictly adhered to and permits must be obtained. A copy will be posted in construction office.
