Site Safety Plan

Scope of Proposed Operations: The BMS Warehouse Drain Phase 2 will begin in October of 2022 with a substantial completion in the January of 2023.  Regular working hours will be between 7:00am and 3:30pm Monday through Friday. Majority of work to occur off-hours (nights & weekends) as warehouse will remain active/occupied throughout duration of project. All work performed outside of these designated times will require BMS & Consigli approval. Scope of work involves the installation of trench drains throughout the ground floor level of the existing warehouse at all openings for a future fire water retention tank system. Scope includes saw cutting concrete slab & sidewalk to install new UG piping and drains.

Badging Requirements: Bristol Myers Squibb access badges will be obtained by all identified personnel prior to working on this project. Badges will be worn so they are visible at all times. All personnel will comply with Bristol Myers Squibb security requirements and posted facility rules. 

Contractor Orientation: Contractor Orientation:  Along with the completion of the Consigli Construction site orientation, that will review all elements of the Consigli Safety Program, all workers onsite will review the BMS General EH&S Procedures document DVN-EHS-0013 and be shown the BMS Safety video.  Depending on work locations, some workers may be required to complete additional training. Once all orientation and initial training is complete, BMS badges and Consigli hardhat stickers will be issued. 

Emergency Management Response: In the event of an Emergency the construction workers shall leave all of the buildings immediately. Point of assembly/muster shall be identified on the posted evacuation plan.  In the Event of a DISASTER, the Superintendent or Safety director shall instruct the construction workers to leave the site or remain in place and await further instruction.  The following steps should be taken in the event of an emergency

When reporting an emergency, use x3333 or (978)784-6300 and provide the following:

• Your location (refer to site evacuation plan) phone number, and name;

• The location of the incident (building name, floor and room number);

• Nature and extent of the incident (injury, accident, spill, smoke/fire, damage, etc.);

• The name and amount of the material spilled (if applicable); and

• The safest route to the spill (if applicable).

** Please review chapter 8 for additional details.  

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-up stretch program); 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 N (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.

Substance Abuse: As a condition of employment, all personnel are required to submit to a urinalysis test for determination of the presence of illegal substances.  A positive result will disqualify the applicant for employment on this project. Personnel are also required to submit to a drug test post accident.

IAQ (indoor air quality): This project will occur in an occupied building.  During construction, the controls listed below will be implemented. This plan will ensure that adjoining areas have not been contaminated during abatement/demolition/construction. All caulking and sealants will be considered PACM. Therefore, all demolition will be performed under containment with ACM and lead exposure assessment preformed inside of containment.  Clearances will also be performed before a containment is torn down.  Also, any subcontractor who will be disturbing a painted surface will perform a lead exposure assessment for all activity/task they will need to preform on the painted surface. Exposure assessments/historical/objective data will be required for any task preformed on a silica containing material if water cannot be used to eliminate or table one complied with. All equipment used on the inside of 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 workspace 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

Identify the specific route in and out of the construction site (Traffic Management): Main construction access will be restricted to routes pre-determined by BMS and Consigli. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to Devens and Bristol Myers Squibb restrictions and regulations in regards to driving, parking and delivering materials. Strict adherence to posted speed limits and parking locations is required. 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.  Pedestrian access through the campus must be along posted walkways and sidewalks.  No shortcuts!

Life Safety/Existing Systems:  Will any part of the Life Safety System or Existing Building Systems of this facility (HVAC, ceiling tiles, penetrations in smoke or fire walls, blocking exits, shutting down fire/smoke detection or fire suppression, etc.) be affected? Potentially, for new installations.  All life safety/fire system impairments shall be coordinated with BMS Senior Electrician David Harris of Tech Services Electrical Operations and local fire department (as necessary).

Any penetration through smoke and fire walls for new electrical circuits necessitates: 

  • Smoke and fire wall penetrations shall not be left unattended.
  • All penetrations are sealed by the end of each work shift.

Notification of Automatic Sprinkler System or Fire Alarm system shall be to:

  • Operations
  • Security/Local Fire Dept. if longer than 4 hours
  • All shut downs lasting longer than 4 hours shall have a dedicated fire watch.

If it will be necessary to erect hard wall partitions in corridors adjacent to the work space: 

  • All affected staff shall be notified of corridor width reduction.
  • All staff shall be aware of primary and secondary routes of egress.
  • Additional egress signage shall be posted.
  • Corridor storage is prohibited.

If it is necessary to erect hard wall partitions in corridors adjacent to the work space then the following will be required:

  • All affected staff shall be notified of corridor width reduction.
  • All staff shall be aware of primary and secondary routes of egress.
  • Additional egress signage shall be posted.
  • Corridor storage is prohibited.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA):  A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) shall be conducted for each identifiable feature of work to be performed.  The JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor.  At a minimum the JSA shall be reviewed weekly.  More frequent review shall be necessary as tasks change.  The JSA shall be reviewed with all involved personnel performing that particular task and signed by all workers including their supervisor.  In addition to routine review of the JSA by subcontractors and Consigli, all JSA risk assessments will be submitted to BMS EH&S for review 48hrs prior to commencement of the work activity. 

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.  BMS Facilities will be contacted in the case of any required LO/TO and their locks will be installed first and removed last.  BMS Safe Work Permit Form DVN-FRM-0019 Section 5 shall be completed and signed by BMS Project Manager, System Owner, and Area Manager prior to beginning any LO/TO procedure.  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 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

Fall Protection: Project fall exposures are limited, however, all work over 6 feet requires some form of fall protection in accordance with CCC fall protection policy.  All fall protection for work performed on Scaffold will be needed at a height of 6 feet or greater.  All scaffold erectors will maintain the ability to have fall protection by donning a harness and lanyard at all times during erection.  Holes greater than 2” will be covered with acceptable material (3/4 plywood ½ steel) which will be secured and marked hole (cover must be able to withstand four times the intended load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled.  

**Review Chapter 13 for more detail

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, also all straight ladders will be tied of when installed for use.  Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.  Ladders use shall be reviewed in the JSA with alternative methods (scaffold, lift, etc.) considered to reduce hazards associated with ladder use.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms:  All scaffolds, supported frame, pipe staging and aerial lift 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 will be provided by CCC to each subcontractors designated persons to aid them with their daily inspection. All contractors who will be erect scaffold will provide CCC 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. At a minimum, fall protection is required at 6’ on all scaffolds on Consigli projects. It is anticipated that a rolling “baker” style scaffold may be used on this project.  For mobile scaffolds on Consigli projects, the rules are stricter: fall protection is required at 4’. Mobile scaffolds with a work platform set at a height to base ratio greater than two to one will require outriggers.

** Please review chapter 14 for additional details.  

Aerial/Scissor Lifts: If lifts are required, the area and ground conditions, in the intended work area, will be inspected for overhead power lines, sink holes, covers, or any other unsafe conditions which cause an unsafe incident.  Aerial lift platforms will be inspected daily before each shift by a competent person designated.  All who will be performing work from an aerial lift will show documented proof of training prior to using the lift.  Steel plates or equipment mats will be placed on the ground above any utility/ steam tunnel if there will be Aerial lifts operating on them. Workers will be tied off at all times when using an aerial lift.

Chemical and Materials:  All Materials and chemicals used on-site will have Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provided before being brought onsite.  The Safety Data Sheets shall be provided to BMS EH&S for review prior to use.

  • SDS sheets on file in Consigli Construction’s Site Safety Plan
  • All SDS sheets shall be readily accessible.

** Please review chapter 20 for additional details.  

Fire Protection:  When hot-work is required the Consigli hot work permit program will be implemented.  During the JSA process, alternative methods shall be reviewed to reduce the need for hot work activities.  The hot work program will be be coordinated through Consigli Construction, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Devens Fire. (if needed).  The BMS Safe Work Permit Form DVN-FRM-0019 Section 7 “Hot Work Permit” will be completed prior to the start of any hot work.  All hot work will stop one hour before the regular end of the day work stoppage.  

Flammables will not be stored inside the building or left overnight on the scaffold or in the building.  All combustible or flammable materials will be stored in an appropriately rated lockable cabinet located no closer than 50 feet from the nearest structure. Fire extinguishers will be provided for every 3000 square feet.  They will be installed on job made stands and conspicuously located throughout.  They will be part of the daily inspection with extinguisher log completed monthly.  BMS is a no smoking/tobacco free campus. All penetrations leading outside of the construction area will be fire stopped using approved fire rated material prior to the end of each shift.  The completion of the fire stopping installation will be documented in BMS Safe Work Permit Form DVN-FRM-0019 Section 13 – “Permit Closure”.

**Review Chapter 17 for more detail.

Electrical: All electrical tools, cords and equipment must be in good working order. To that end, all electrical tools and components must be visually checked on a daily basis.  Any tools with damaged cords or damaged cords must be taken out service… All cords must be equipped with a ground pin, flat three wire cords are not allowed.  SJO and SJT or other similarly rated cords only shall be used.  The electrician will be responsible for all temp power and any temp lighting that may be needed.  They will coordinate all lock out tag out procedures with BMS facilities and complete the BMS DVN-FRM-0019 section 5 “Control of Hazardous Energy – Lock Out/Tag Out.”  If required, all temporary power for the project will be installed on protected and dedicated circuits with 100% GFCI protection.  GFCI will be tested by the electric contractor weekly to assure proper function with a log book filed with CCC monthly.  When existing power is used, a GFCI “pigtail” shall be added to the receptacle if not already equipped.  No live electrical work will be conducted.

**Review Chapter 26 for more detail

Cranes:  Crane use in not expected for this project.  However, if necessary, all cranes will require 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 all 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 CCC Crane Safety policy.

 1. All Hoisting equipment will have an up to date 3rd party inspection certificate 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 Commonwealth of MA.

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 CCC weekly.

7. Documented rigger and hand signalman training will be provided.

8. Crane work will be scheduled on Saturdays as much as possible to limit their impact

** Please review chapter 24 for additional details.  


Confined Space:  None anticipated

** Please review chapter 21 for additional details.

Designated First Aid Plan: All injuries no matter how minor must be reported to Consigli Superintendent immediately. The superintendent will then report all injuries to the CCC Safety Director and BMS EH&S.  A fully stocked first aid kit and blood borne pathogens kit shall be maintained on the project site.  Only properly trained personnel will administer first aid.  Consigli Construction shall follow Site Safety Plan for first Aid.   

** Please review chapter 1 and 27 for additional details.  

Substance Abuse: As a condition of employment, all Consigli personnel are required to submit to a urinalysis test for determination of the presence of illegal substances.  A positive result will disqualify the applicant for employment on this project.

Evacuation Plan (RACE, and Routes of Egress): Please refer to the Evacuation Plans attached.  All Consigli employees shall attend the Project Safety Orientation.  Consigli Construction’s Job Supervisor will conduct a safety orientation talk to each employee and subcontractor to site specific fire safety protocols.  The evacuation procedures will be covered during the Safety Orientation. 

Minimum Site Safety Requirement:  All Consigli workers, and any subcontractors, shall have, at a minimum, an OSHA 10 Hour Construction Safety Outreach training certificate and shall provide documentation of training.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):  All CCC and subcontractor workers will wear hard hats and safety glasses at all times.  All CCC personnel performing work with their hands shall be required to wear gloves that are appropriate to the task.  When not performing actual work with their hands workers will be required to have them available for immediate use.  Face shields will be required for all personnel who are performing overhead work, using metal chop saw or any type of metal grinding.  All welders will be required to have hard hats with integral welding shields.  In addition to Consigli PPE requirements for construction, BMS PPE requirements must be strictly adhered to with regards to gowning and decontamination.  Dedicated PPE (hardhats, etc.) left within the LSCC clean areas will reduce the need for disinfecting personal equipment during each entry.

Restricted Areas:  Contractors are prohibited from entering any adjacent areas of the buildings on the campus unless work has been previously authorized and scheduled.  It is important that workers do not park in/in front of adjacent driveways during construction or for deliveries.  All workers will try to limit their impact on surrounding areas.  Workers badges will be restricted to the level of training that they have completed.  Red doors within the LSCC are to never be opened and are installed for emergency use only. 

Lean requirements/Materials Management/Housekeeping: Getting materials into and out of the project will be a challenge that needs to be adequately planned.  All deliveries are to be scheduled with the CCC Superintendent.  A comprehensive Activity Hazard Analysis shall be done on all materials that will be hoisted and placed into the building. Only materials which will be used/installed within three days’ time will be delivered to the site. Attention must be paid to structural analysis in regards to loading existing floors with material and equipment. Movement of all materials over 8ft. will require 2 workers.

Listed below are additional Lean requirements

  • No materials shall be delivered to the site earlier than 3 days before said materials are to be installed/put into place.  If materials have to be delivered before that 3 day time period, subcontractor shall get prior approval from Consigli Superintendent.  Because of this, notification / scheduling is required for all deliveries to the site. Subcontractors must notify Contractor at least 24 hours in advance. Contractor has the right to refuse any deliveries not properly scheduled or due to logistical constraints as necessary.

  • All subcontractors’ delivered materials shall be placed on wheeled carts, wheeled racks or in wheeled bins so as to necessitate easy relocation in the event materials need to be moved.  Carts, racks, or dollies shall not exceed manufacturers intended weight loads.  Materials/tools can be delivered and stored on pallets only if pallet jacks are delivered simultaneously with said delivery to provide for ready mobility.  Additionally, pallet jacks need to remain in immediate area.    Each subcontractor will need to supply their own pallet jacks for their own materials and keep their pallet jack within reasonable distance at all times.

  • All work stations shall be provided with wheeled trash bins for immediate placement of all debris produced as a part of the subcontractors operations.  All trash will be immediately placed in wheeled containers provided by Consigli.  All trash bins shall be covered when not in use.
  • The wheel of rolling carts and bins shall receive be disinfected prior to entry into any clean environments. 

  • All subcontractors shall use rubber wheeled carts when moving material or removing trash from a building.  Any damage caused by the Subcontractor shall be repaired at the cost of the Subcontractor.  Back charges will be appropriately assessed for the cost of the repairs.  No trash or materials shall be left on the floor. 

  • Subcontractors shall, where feasible, elevate all electrical extension cords, hoses, or cables – removing them from all walking/working surfaces.  Electrical Cords, when elevated shall be supported or suspended in a manner that does not subject them to damage. 

  • Storage of delivered materials in cardboard containers shall be discouraged.  When materials must stay in cardboard containers, said containers shall be removed from the projects immediately after product is unpacked. 

  • Subcontractor will participate in schedule development meetings as required by Consigli.

Environmental Emergency Contact and Management Response

Consigli identified Emergency Response Subcontractor;

Name:  Cynn Environmental Services, Inc. (781)341-1777

100 Tosca Drive Stoughton, MA  02072. 

Asbestos: A Hazardous Materials report was completed by Cashins & Associates (dated January 3, 2018) for a previous phase of work in LOC completed by Consigli Construction. No ACM was detected.  Items sampled include gypsum wallboard, joint compound, beige wall mastic, and ceiling tiles.  

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. 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 on site at all times and available to anyone request it.

Due to the fact that some asbestos may remain in place and not be abated during construction all workers will need to have at a minimum Asbestos awareness training.

All work and disposal will be done in compliance with state and federal regulations and standards

Lead:  Not expected. Consigli workers who will need to perform work on painted surfaces may need to disturb lead in 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 possess 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 mask 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 BMS.  All other inquiries or locations in regards to 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 water infiltration and 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 BMS staff will be notified of locations and dates/times of potential elevated noise levels.

** Please review chapter 29 for additional details

 Exposure to the Public, Staff, and Visitors: 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, 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

Planning:  The project team will meet with the Bristol Myers Squibb Facilities and Environmental Safety & Health (EHS) staff before the project start to review any site specific safety and health requirements for coordination with BMS staff.  The project team shall be an integrated mix of owner, architect, engineer and Consigli Construction personnel.  If, after reviewing programs, Job Safety Analysis, and meeting with the affected individuals, the team is satisfied with the risk control direction, personnel will be permitted to begin work. 

Working Safely With COVID 19

  • All workers on site must be vaccinated.
  • Employees experiencing any symptoms (runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat and/or fever) shall stay home and contact your Supervisor.  Supervisors should immediately communicate any individuals reporting symptoms to the Consigli Superintendent.
  • Any employee that has tested positive for COVID-19 or someone awaiting testing COVID-19 should stay home and contact their supervisor.  Supervisors should immediately communicate any individuals reporting potential contact to the Consigli Superintendent.

The following GUIDELINES need to be followed

  • Consigli Project Team shall communicate with our customer to confirm we are in compliance with all facility work rules.
  • Any site visits by non-essential personnel should be discussed with the Consigli project team.
  • When deliveries arrive near the site, contact the Consigli Superintendent for direction.
