Site Safety Plan

Project Specific Loss Exposures and Controls

Scope of Proposed Operations: The scope of this project will be anOffice fitout of the 4th floor shelled space. This scope includes the construction of new auditorium and support spaces.

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, 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): For this project all deliveries and waste removal shall enter using the designated entrance which may be subject to change and be coordinated with the Consigli Superintendent. Deliveries for this project will be made at the loading dock on the West roadway. The existing freight elevator will be utilized to deliver materials from the loading dock to the working floor. Also, only permitted truck routes will be used, all contractors will be responsible for adhering to truck routes and restrictions plan which will be made available to all sub-contractors.

Building Access: Access to the project will be restricted by existing building security measures. Badges will be distributed as a part of the jobsite orientation process. Additionally, all project personnel will be required to provide proof of COVID vaccination (2 doses).

Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE): All workers will wear hard hats and safety glasses at all times. High visibility vest will be worn when exposed to vehicular/equipment hazards/ traffic. All 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.

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior CCC approval):  All work shall take place during regular business hours of, Monday – Friday 5:00am to 5:00pm.  Any work which may need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the CCC Superintendent. All deliveries must be coordinated with the CCC superintendent with at least 48 hours’ notice.

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.

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 includes, 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 (cover must be able to withstand two times the intended axle load).  Covers will stay in place until the hole/penetration has been filled.

**Review Chapter 13 for more detail

Work on Ladders: All contractors must follow the “ladder last” approach for elevated work. The Ladders Last program focuses on making ladders the last option for working at heights. Where feasible, contractors will be encouraged to utilize MEWP’s, Scaffolding or Podium ladders to perform work at height.  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 off when installed for use.  Only ladders with a rating Type 1A or 1AA will be allowed on Consigli projects.

 Scaffold and elevated work platforms/Material Hoist:  All scaffolds/material hoist supported frame, pipe staging and 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/access point to each section.. 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 to any buildings located under any form of scaffolding/material hoist.

Consigli Safety Program requires that all rolling scaffolds (baker scaffolds) be equipped with guardrails when the working deck is above 4 feet.  Outriggers are required for all rolling scaffolds when the working height reaches 2x the width of the scaffold.  

** Please review chapter 14 for additional details.  

Aerial Lifts/Scissor lifts:  Area and ground conditions in the intended work area will be inspected for overhead power lines underground structures/sink holes, covers or any other unsafe condition which cause an unsafe incident.  Aerial lift platforms/scissor lifts 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 for each individual piece which will be filed in the site office. All contractors who will be performing work from an aerial lift will show documented proof of training for all workers who will be using the lift.  Steel plates or equipment mats will be placed on the ground above any utility/ steam tunnel/underground vault if there will be Aerial lifts operating on them. Workers will be tied off at all times when using an aerial lift!!

Haz Com/Global Harmonization:  All Materials and chemicals used on-site will have SDS provided before being brought onsite.

    • SDS sheets on file in Consigli Construction’s Site Safety Plan.

    • All SDS sheets shall be readily accessible via Procore.

Fire Protection: The Consigli hot work permit program will be implemented for any hot work that is required. This will be coordinated through Sanofi, Consigli, and the Cambridge Fire Department.   Any 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 the extinguisher log completed monthly.  Storage of any acetylene cylinders will be done in a secure and upright area, with good ventilation and under permit from the Cambridge Fire Department.  This will be a strict no smoking project. All penetrations leading outside of the construction area will be fire stopped using approved fire rated material prior to the end of each shift. ALL workers will comply with the 241 plan and AFD/NFPA Hot Work Training Requirements.

**Review Chapter 17 for more detail.

NFPA 241 Plan: A written fire prevention plan has been prepared for this site and is filed in the Consigli field office. In the program, TBD, has been designated as the Fire Protection Program Manager. CCC to coordinate daily fire alarm impairment with Landlord.

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. A. Murphy Inc. will be responsible for all temp power and any temp lighting that may be needed.  They will coordinate all lock out tag out procedures. All temporary power for the project will be installed on protected and dedicated circuits with 100% GFCI protection.  GFCI will be tested by A. Murphy Inc. weekly to assure proper function with a log book filed with CCC monthly.  No live electrical work will be conducted.

Confined Space:  A written plan will be needed to work in any tanks/vaults and crawl spaces during this project which have been designated permit confined spaces by CCC, this plan must include air monitoring.

** 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.  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.  Report all incidents to the Safety Director. 

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

Lean Requirements:  A clean project is a safe project.  By implementing the Lean practices we will be able to better control material management and cleanliness on site. 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 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

Restricted Areas:  Contractors are prohibited from entering adjacent occupied areas unless work has been previously authorized and scheduled.  Only designated workers will be allowed into the occupied areas. No exceptions.

Materials Management: Materials management, getting materials into and out of the project, will be done through existing entryways. 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 in a reasonable amount of time will be delivered to the site. Attention must be paid to structural analysis regarding loading elevated existing floors with material and equipment.

Silica: Any activity which can produce silica dust will use engineering controls to keep dust to a minimum.  There will be no dry cutting of any masonry material allowed; if water can not be used then a dustless vacuum system consisting of a HEPA dustless vacuum system will be used.  Prior to the project going full scale an exposure assessment of a worker grinding ,demolition and cutting masonry while using HEPA system 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.

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.

Noise: Noise exposure will also be a concern so all deliveries must be coordinated with CCC Superintendent to limit their impact on the surrounding areas.  Normal working hours will be between 5:00am and 5:00pm; any contractor who may need to work late must first seek approval from the CCC Superintendent. Noise levels will be monitored if high levels of noise are found to exist or could be expected to assure that noise levels do not exceed acceptable OSHA levels.  Consigli permissible noise policy and procedures will be followed

Equipment issues: All operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate licensing and training as required by OSHA and the State of Mass.  All safety devices and warning alarms must be in good working order and all leaks are to be repaired immediately.  All equipment will be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations for safe usage and have its operators manual as well as an extinguisher with it at all times.

Rigging/Material Handling: All rigging components shall be inspected prior to every use and must be free of all defects. Any wire rope, nylon and or chain slings found to be defective shall be tagged out of service and removed from the site. Rigging shall not be loaded in excess of its safe working load. All hooks utilized in hoisting materials, which rigging will be attached, shall be equipped with manufacturers supplied safety latches. All rigging (wire rope slings, wire rope chokers, nylon slings, etc.) shall always have identification tags affixed to them. Only “qualified riggers” will be allowed to rig any load which will be suspended and swung into place. All rigging plans will be submitted and approved by Sanofi.

II. Exposure to the Visitors and Staff: The building will be occupied during construction.  Access will be limited to the areas of the building in which work is taking place. Some areas of project will be opened for construction at different times; this plan must be followed by all workers.  Any means of access/emergency egress leading to or from the building which finds itself under any type of work will be provided with overhead protection.  At no time is any worker allowed to enter any of the buildings in which they are not scheduled to work in.  Non-fraternization with staff, visitors or students will be stressed with all subcontractor personnel during orientations. 

III: Adjacent Property: All steps will be taken to limit the effects of the project on the surrounding community.  Special attention will be paid to the each access point of each building so as not to impede access. 

IV. Exposure to Street Traffic: All deliveries will be made at a designated location unless otherwise directed by Superintendent.  Their will be exposure to live vehicular traffic and police details will be used when required. All speed limits will be obeyed and deliveries will be made as to not coincide with other scheduled deliveries. . All traffic control signage (if needed) will meet city requirements before being installed.  Coordination with them as well as its police will be required when any equipment will be set up/used in the street/parking lot. Fire department access will be maintained and kept open for emergency responders.

V. Utility Exposures All utilities entering the site will be cut and prior to the start of demolition. There are no overhead power line hazards. Written notification of this work will be provided to CCC prior to commencement of Demolition work. 

Planning:  The project team as well as CCC safety department will meet with each subcontractor, before they start to review their Site Specific Safety and Health Program and all project specific Job Safety Analyses. The project team shall be an integrated mix of owner, architect, engineer and Consigli Construction personnel.  If, after reviewing programs and meeting with the individual subcontractor, the team is satisfied with the risk control direction, they will be permitted to begin work. 

VI. Additional Controls: Prior to stat of any work, all personnel involved in the project, including project managers must be:

1. Trained and orientated by Consigli Construction.  Stickers will be issued and displayed on hard hats

2. All workers will provide Consigli with an OSHA 10 card.

3. All worker will complete mandatory drug screening.

The SDS sheets associated with any hazardous substances to be used will be maintained by the superintendent in Procore.

Site Safety Meetings will take place at the beginning of the project and at least once every week thereafter. These meetings will consist of toolbox talks with Consigli Construction Co., Inc. personnel on site. Sub-contractors will be responsible for their own safety meetings. Superintendent will complete a daily site safety walk to identify and correct potential hazards.

All emergency telephone numbers will be posted in the superintendent’s office.

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 projects. Members from the CCC and owner project team (Supers, PM, APM, PE,OPM, Architect, Owners, etc..) will be provided with 5$ 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 up’s. 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.

Loss Exposures and Controls: Program implementation and management will be measured in Predictive Solutions. Loss related exposures and controls will involve the following:

Level 3 Stair Install: Prior to the connection of the staircase from Level 2 to Level 3, the following hazard control measures will be implemented:

    • Overhead protection, in the form of a scaffold dance floor, will be installed underneath work area.
