Emergency Response Plan

ALL EMERGENCIES SHOULD BE REPORTED BY CALLING 911

SITE INFORMATION

This Emergency Response Plan (E.R.P.) is specifically developed for Consigli Construction Management work associated with the Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

Memo from the CEO

FROM: Anthony Consigli, CEO

TO:   Employees and Subcontractors

SUBJECT: Job Safety

Over the past several years we have made significant improvements to our occupational health and safety program.  These improvements have resulted in fewer employee injuries, fewer OSHA citations and an exemplary safety image within the construction industry.  Through the combined efforts of our staff and employees we have become more competitive and in turn, we have provided more jobs for all our employees.

As employees and subcontractors to Consigli Construction, you represent all of us in the workplace and we need your pro-active support to continue making safety improvements and continue expanding our market share.  Therefore, we are asking all employees and subcontractors to read, understand and practice the enclosed Health and Safety principles and guidelines.  This means routinely training employees, conducting weekly toolbox meetings, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, using fall protection when necessary and practicing all other safety-related items listed in the Safety and Health Handbook.  Even more importantly it means developing a safety-conscious attitude.

We take safety very seriously and we expect you to do the same.  If you have any questions, call me or ask the Site Superintendent at your worksite.

Thank you,

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.  

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): All construction traffic, deliveries and waste removal shall be done using the entrances designated on the site-specific logistics plan (See Page 9). Key areas on the logistic plan are as follows:

  1. Aircraft, staff and public guests of Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep will be given the right of way at all times. Parking will not be designated on site.
  2. Strict adherence to posted signage for active aircraft landing and taking off as well as posted speed limits and parking locations is required.

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior Consigli 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 Consigli Superintendent.

Services:  Any compromises to Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep Project site during the work performed will be handled accordingly.

  • During weekly project meetings, if needed upcoming work that may compromise service or impact the public shall be talked about with Site Superintendent and scheduled for off shift if the group decides it will be needed.
  • The on-site superintendent shall perform weekly inspections of all adjacent establishments and businesses for the duration of the project to ensure minimal construction impact.

PROJECT SITE LOGISTICS PLAN

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.

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 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 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.

Activity Safety Analysis (ASA)/Toolbox Talks: An ASA/JSA depending on level of hazard shall be conducted for each identifiable feature of work to be performed by all subcontracted organizations. The ASA/JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor prior to the commencement of any work.  ASA/JSA shall be reviewed weekly, signed by all workers including their supervisor, with all involved personnel performing that particular task.

Subcontractors under their contract shall be responsible for drafting and reviewing all AHA/JSA’s with their workers each Monday as well as toolbox talks that address the work that they will be performing and that which is relative to safe work practices. Any second tier subcontractors under all subcontractors contractually responsible under Consigli shall be responsible for providing the JSA/ASA to all workers under their respective contracts.

Demolition Scope: Existing Building Demolition:

  • Demolish existing 2-story wood structure and existing foundation
  • Remove existing entryways

Pre-work surveys

Live utilities will be running through the building prior to building scheduled demolition.  It is for this reason that Consigli will require that all MEP subcontractors perform a pre-demolition survey to ensure that the work areas are made-safe for demolition work to commence. 

From this survey, the competent person from each trade will relay back any unsafe conditions to the Consigli Superintendent. At no time shall demolition work commence without Consigli Superintendent having all documented “Make Safes” provided by the responsible MEP subcontractors that confirm the isolation of all utilities feeding the construction area. 

Interim Life Safety Measures – ILSM Control Plan during Demolition

During all demolition work the following processes are to be implemented, maintained and monitored as they are crucial to ILSM compliance:

  • Emergency egress from all construction areas are to be maintained at all times and communicated to all Consigli personnel and subcontracted workers. For Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep facility, Consigli will follow the established evacuation procedures.
  • All fire alarm pull stations will be identified prior to work
  • Access through occupied areas will not be impeded upon.  A daily egress inspection will be conducted by Consigli’s Superintendent to ensure unobstructed means of egress through the area is consistently maintained.
  • Fire alarm and suppression systems are not to be impaired when at all possible.  However, should it be the case that the systems must be protected or taken off line due to the work process, a permit from Consigli Construction and the local fire department having jurisdiction may be required.
  • In addition, material storage is not permitted in the occupied spaces of Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep facilities.  Added materials may cause obstructions in main egress ways in the event of an evacuation or other emergency.

Pre-Demolition Make Safe

Prior to the start of demo operations, the contractor preforming demo will confirm that all utilities leading into the area have been made safe.  This project may require select demolition of the existing MEP. 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.  Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep Facilities Engineer will be contacted in the case of any required LO/TO and their locks will be installed first and removed last. Subcontractor coordination and completion of the safe work permit shall be through the Consigli Superintendent. 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 (or otherwise marked) 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 until they are marked.  Any existing walls shall be removed using hand tools until investigation shows what mechanical systems are present behind the wall.  The demo contractor will be responsible for completing CCC demo checklist prior to the start of any work in their target areas.

Lockout/Tagout, scheduling shutdowns

It is vitally important that all required shutdowns are scheduled so that demolition work does not interfere with any building life safety equipment, medical gases that are in use, electrical systems that are supplying power to life support equipment, etc.  These requirements will be established in the ILSM meetings prior to the demolition work taking place. All mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc. systems that require work to be performed on them shall be effectively LOTO to a de-energized state.  These procedures shall follow in strict accordance with the OSHA requirements in 1910.147 – Control of Hazardous Energy, NFPA 70E, NFPA 99, etc. Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep Facilities may have procedures already established for this work.  In every case, shutdowns of all types are required to be coordinated with Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep Management team and Facilities Staff.  At no time will work be performed on any system prior to this meeting taking place.

Excavations: Excavation will be limited to initial building footprint, exterior infrastructure installation of a new underground utilities and new storm water drainage system.  These excavations are to be limited to less than five feet in depth and will not be open for any length of time. Written excavation plan and inspections will be done if the excavation exceeds 5’. All required permitting will be obtained before any excavating is to begin.  If necessary, tabulated data/engineering for shoring and shielding systems will be obtained and available on site at all times when in use. All excavations will be inspected by a competent person on a daily basis. All roadway work shall be performed with all local municipal permit requirements in place and closures pre-planned.

  1. Dig Safe Notification – dig safe number (If needed) will be obtained and posted in the site office.
  2. Copies of shoring engineering and tabulated data sheets for all trench boxes or other shoring/shielding systems brought on site will be provided to Consigli and be kept in construction office.
  3. Designated flagman will be utilized during all work that directly or may indirectly effect the public and Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep staff. Equipment operation outside the construction area will require 100% flagman operations, No Exceptions.

**Review Chapter 19 of Consigli’s Safety & Health Program for more detail

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, all overhand brick laying and pre-cast concrete related work for all exterior work, structural steel work and scaffold erection and dismantling for Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep project.

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 Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented all workers working on the Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep upper levels and exposed to a fall greater than 6 feet will have fall protection 100% of the time spent in this location. Workers on a walking working level with an uncontrolled leading edge must be protected by Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) or Guardrail systems as flagging is prohibited and can only be utilized during roofing work.

All access/egress points to attic or upper level areas to which workers must perform work shall be made safe with guardrail systems. All ladder access/egress shall extend 3’ above work area walking surface and be secure from displacement. All material will need to be kept a minimum of 6’ from all leading edges, any materials that may be displaced off upper floors shall be removed or relocated. 

The use of safety Monitors is not allowed!!!

NOTE: All work performed at 6’ or above will require a written fall protection plan by the subcontractor performing the work and shall be communicated to all affected workers prior to start of work.

**Review Chapter 13 of Consigli’s Safety & Health Program for more detail

Dropped Objects Prevention and Planning: Stop the Drop!

The purpose of the Consigli dropped object prevention and control program is to assure that, whenever the potential exists for objects falling from heights, said exposure is adequately planned with controls identified and implemented. 

Consigli will implement the planning necessary to protect all workers from dropped objects by focusing on eliminating or protecting anyone working below operations overhead. This program will be enhanced through planning, training, auditing, and enforcement.

Site specific fall protection plans developed by the project team – in conjunction with the Safety Department – shall include a section that addresses dropped object protection.  It shall also be included in all Job Safety Analyses.

Dropped Object Controls:

  • Coordination of overhead work with operations below.
    • Barricade hazardous areas and post warning signs. Use of caution or danger tape shall not allowed. Use rope or chain.
    • Use toe boards, screens on guardrails or scaffolds to prevent falling objects.
    • Use debris nets, catch platforms or canopies to catch or deflect falling objects

  • Securing tools, materials, and PPE (Hard Hats) by use of a tether, pouch or lanyard. When selecting attachment points consider the following:

  • The location or type of tool. The attachment point should not increase the potential risk of dropping the tool.
  • Anchor attachment points should be selected in order of preference: 1) structure, 2) waist, and 3) wrist.
  • Choose the shortest tool tether possible
  • Know and adhere to tool tether weight limits. Standard for dropped objects understanding ANSI/ISEA 121-2018.
  • All dropped object solutions shall be inspected before each use and replaced immediately if found to be damaged or otherwise compromised.

Dropped Object Management and Control

Consigli Safety will audit Dropped Object controls in the field to assure compliance and effectiveness of implementation. Site specific fall protection and dropped objects applications will be discussed as part of the internal pre-construction safety meeting at the beginning of the project. Foreman will be briefed on weekly dropped object protection issues as part of the weekly “Job Safety Analysis” and prepare and plan accordingly.

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. Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.

All ladders shall be inspected prior to each shift. All ladders found defective or damaged shall be removed from service immediately. All ladders shall be fiberglass railed type. No Aluminum railed ladders shall be used on Old Rhinebeck AD AVRO Hangar Rep Project.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms: All scaffolds supported frames, pipe and staging platforms will 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 to each section. A scaffold checklist guide will be provided to Consigli by each sub-contractor designated persons to document daily inspection.

All contractors who will be erecting scaffold will provide Consigli 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 at any buildings which are located under any form of scaffolding.

The installation of protection is required at 6’ on all scaffolds, on mobile scaffold fall protection is required at 4’. Mobile staging with a work platform with a height to base ratio greater than two to one will require outriggers. All scaffolding that is procured by Consigli and is over 15’ in height will require that the Consigli Safety Department review the scaffold prior to it being turned over for use by tradesmen.

Beaufort scale of Wind Force    

An aerial lift can be very dangerous. Operating an aerial lift when it’s windy can be a deadly mistake. You must be able to determine if the wind force is too dangerous to safely operate your aerial lift. Below is a chart to help you determine the wind speed and if you should or should not be working. The Beaufort Scale of Wind Force is accepted internationally and used in communicating weather conditions. It consists of number 0 – 12, each representing a certain strength or velocity of wind at 33 feet (10m) above ground or in the open. This should be used to assess when it is safe to operate your powered access equipment.

Description of wind Specification for use on land MPH
0  Calm Calm, smokes rises vertically < 1
1  Light Air Direction of wind shown by smoke drift but not by wind vanes 1  –  3
2  Light Breeze Wind felt on face; leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind 4  –  6
3  Gentle Breeze Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag 7  –  10
4  Moderate Breeze Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved 11  –  16
5  Fresh Breeze Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters
YOU SHOULD STOP MOST POWERED ACCESS PLATFORM & BOOM WORK UNDER THESE WIND SPEEDS		 17  –  21
6  Strong Breeze Large branches in motion; umbrellas used with difficulty 22  –  27
7  Near Gale Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt when walking against wind 28  –  33
8  Gale Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress 34  –  40
9  Strong Gale Slight structural damage occurs, slate blows off roofs 41  –  47
10  Storm Seldom experienced on land, trees broken or uprooted, “considerable structural damage” 48  –  55
11  Violent Storm Generally not experienced on land. On the water: Exceptionally high (37-52 ft.) waves, foam patches cover sea, visibility more reduced 56  –  63
12  Hurricane Rarely experienced on land. On the water: Air filled with foam, waves over 45 ft., sea completely white with driving spray, visibility greatly reduced > 64

6 feet subtract 30 percent, 10 feet subtract 20 percent, 20 feet subtract 10 percent, 50 feet add 10 percent, and 100 feet add 25 percent

Workers will be tied off at all times when using an aerial lift.

Crane: Crane use does not appear to be scheduled for work on this project. If there is a change to the project scope all cranes will require most recent independent annual 3rd party inspections and will be utilized for operation only after detailed lift plans are submitted.   It is anticipated that these cranes will be hydraulic.  In the event that a lattice boom crane is utilized, then the crane must get an on-site 3rd party inspection once the crane is assembled, prior to operation.

There is a requirement to assure that certified riggers, signalmen, and crane assemblymen are utilized.  All picks are to be done by a licensed operator.  As previously mentioned, a detailed pick plan will be required to assure that no picks are critical in nature.  Critical picks are defined as those involving 2 cranes lifting simultaneously, a pick that is over 75% of capacity, a pick that involves the lifting of a man basket, or any other lift that is deemed to involve special conditions.  Location and set up will be reviewed with crane operator prior to set up and pick. 

All lifting operations will require that the operator and any involved contractors follow the steps listed below as well as in Consigli Crane Safety policy.

  1. All Hoisting equipment will have an up to date 3rd party inspection certificate approved by Consigli Safety Department with the equipment which will be copied and filed in the office trailer.
  2. All lattice boom cranes will have an independent 3rd party inspection completed each time one is set up on the project, after assembly and prior to operation.
  3. All equipment operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate licensing and training as required by OSHA and the NYS Department of Labor.
  4. All underground vaults and existing utilities will be marked before as well as before any crane is set up.
  5. Documented rigging equipment inspections.
  6. Documented daily crane inspections filed with Consigli weekly.
  7. Documented rigger and hand signalman training will be provided.
  8. Documented verification of property “High Voltage” Power line identification.
