1. Environmental exposures – lead, Asbestos, and Pcb’s
The paint on all painted surfaces will be presumed to contain lead paint unless otherwise noted in Haz Mat report which will be located in the field office and available for review.
All subcontractors will be required to perform exposure assessments for any planned tasks on painted surfaces identified as having lead paint…
Any work on lead paint related building components (stairway rails) will require workers to have lead awareness training before any work is done.
Consigli workers may need to perform work on the original Building surfaces. They 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 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 may be done if needed.
Consigli or subcontractor workers performing activities other than those listed above must be monitored to insure they are not being exposed to a hazard.
Consigli employees will be provided with tyvek suits and gloves at their request.
If paint flakes or dust is generated from lead paint, then the area must be cleaned using HEPA vacuums or wet washing using TSP. Areas should not be dry swept. They may be swept using a sweeping compound as long as lead dust is not made airborne and other methods are infeasible.
Workers who contact potential lead paint or other contaminated surfaces should use proper hand and face washing procedures prior to eating, drinking, smoking, chewing tobacco, chewing gum or applying cosmetics. A hand wash station will be established and maintained for the project duration.
Subcontractor foremen are responsible for reviewing hazmat reports with their employees and ensuring their compliance with the safety rules. All workers on this project must have completed Lead awareness training prior to starting on this project.
A hand wash station will be established and maintained for the project duration
1. Asbestos

Hazardous Materials report has been prepared by the building owner is located in the field office and is available for review at any time.

Asbestos has been found in the planned work areas and will be abated. This does not mean that they do not exist elsewhere on the site. Workers will stop and notify CCC if they discover any material they cannot readily identify as asbestos free … The complete table and “List of Materials tested, Quantities, and Locations” can be found with the hazardous material report.
This list and complete Hazardous Materials Report will be available on site all times. At no time, shall a worker disturb any material he/she can not readily identify.

All asbestos abatement will be preformed by a licensed Asbestos removal/abatement contractor.

Any asbestos removal will be done under the supervision of qualified personnel.

The asbestos removal plan (if needed) and Haz Mat report will be available for review. It is the responsibility of all subcontractor foremen to share this report with their respective workers.

All removal will be completed, prior to any one accessing said areas. 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. All workers on this project must have completed Asbestos awareness training prior to starting on this project.

PCB’s (POLYCHLORINATED biphenyl)
PCB’s are not suspect in any of our planned work surfaces/task. 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 as asbestos free, 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 and be coordinated Harvard.

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. 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 li60 State St 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.

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 a silica containing material while using the HEPA system an exposure assessment will be done so as to establish the silica exposure level.

Miscellanous Safety issues;
At no time, should workers be anywhere outside of the work areas during normal working hours. Break and lunch areas need to be coordinated with the CCC Superintendent.

Safety related violations will be documented and managed by issuing a formal “safety violation notice” (to be forwarded to company office as well). In the event of a second offense, with the same individual, a second violation notice will be issued, and the individual shall be removed from the project permanently. CCC reserves the right to dismiss anyone at any time.
