Emergency Response Plan

ALL EMERGENCIES SHOULD BE REPORTED BY CALLING   9-1-1

Memo from the President

FROM: Greg Burns, President

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 Management, 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,

Site Safety Plan

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.

Background

The project, located at 701 River St. in Troy, is expected to transform a vacant historic former factory property into nearly 80 apartments, and street-level commercial and retail space, supporting regional downtown revitalization efforts through adaptive reuse. Built in 1899 as the Searle, Gardner and Company Cuff and Collar Factory, this building was crucial to the city’s collar manufacturing past. It was used in collar making and the garment industry through the 1960s and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The 80 apartments will feature refinished historic hardwood floors, high ceilings and large windows, combined with modern fixtures and finishes. The building will be powered using proprietary green energy system with an on-site power generation plant, which reduces both utility costs and the property’s carbon footprint.

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.  

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior Consigli approval):  All work shall take place during business hours, Monday – Friday 7:30am to 5:30pm, any work which may need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the CONSIGLI Superintendent.

Logistics/Access/Traffic Management: Main construction access will be restricted to routes pre-determined by Consigli Construction Superintendent. All contractors will be responsible for adhering to Consigli Construction and City of Troy 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! 

  • Gate 1 – Gate “1” (As per the logistics plan). East Gate will be mainly designated as the Construction worker access.
  • Gate 2 – Gate “2” (As per logistics plan). Will be designated as a “Materials Delivery” use gate.

Services:  Any compromises to Collar City Lofts Apartments 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.

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. The ASA/JSA shall be submitted to Consigli superintendent/supervisor.  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 ASA/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.

Demolition

Pre-work surveys: Live utilities may be running through the building prior to building scheduled renovation.  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 renovation 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. 

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. The subcontracted 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. 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 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 CCNY demo checklist prior to the start of any work in their target areas.

Lockout/Tagout, scheduling shutdowns

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. In every case, shutdowns of all types are required to be coordinated with the Consigli Project team.  At no time will work be performed on any system prior to this meeting taking place.

Excavations:  (CONSIGLI PROGRAM APPENDIX PP – EXCAVATION CHECKLIST)

Excavation/site work will incorporate extensive removal of existing utilities and is expected to take place within both the Collar City Lofts Apartments as well as outside the controlled project site area. Excavations may not be limited to five feet in depth and may be open for a considerable length of time.  All required permitting (if applicable) 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. Written excavation inspections will be done if the excavation exceeds 5’.  Any and all roadway work (If applicable), shall be performed with all City of Troy permit requirements in place and closures pre-planned with City of Troy.

  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.

Before any work is to begin on Collar City Lofts Apartments it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented for all workers working on the roof 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!!!

**Review Chapter 13 of Consigli Construction Safety & Health Program 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. 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.

Scaffold and elevated work platforms:  (CONSIGLI PROGRAM APPENDIX EE – SCAFFOLD CHECKLIST)    

All Scaffold deck systems, including all suspended scaffold systems, will be engineered and designed to allow access/work for all elevated work areas. Systems will completely cover the entire work area thereby allowing for any and all building interior or exterior Ward&neet65

Structural work. 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 by Consigli to each sub-contractors designated persons to aid them with their 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. Fall protection is required at 6’ on all scaffolds, on mobile scaffold fall protection is required at 4’. Mobil 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.

Silica:  Engineering/Work Practice Controls

Where applicable, Consigli Superintendents shall ensure that all related construction activities with potential for Silica exposure will be consistent with OSHA’s Construction Standard Table 1 (APPENDIX DDD). To ensure the highest level of protection for workers on all Consigli projects, engineering and work practice controls, including administrative controls, shall be implemented to reduce and maintain employee exposure to silica at or below the PEL, to the extent that such controls are feasible.

To achieve this level of protection, Consigli Superintendents and Subcontractors shall, at a minimum; 

  • Provide a detailed Job Safety Analysis (JSA) outlining all potential silica hazards and required control measures.

    • Utilize dust collection tool systems and equipment outlined in Table 1

  • Maintain all surfaces as free as possible from accumulations of silica. Select methods for cleaning surfaces and floors that minimize the likelihood of silica becoming airborne.

    • If vacuuming is required, specialized vacuums with HEPA filtration are required. Methods to use and empty vacuums in a manner that minimizes the reentry of silica into the workplace shall be described and used.
    • Ensure respiratory protection is selected based on guidance in 1926.1153 Table 1 or based on a Certified Industrial Hygienist’s or competent person’s assessment of the potential airborne exposure.
    • Ensure that compressed air is NEVER used to remove silica from any surface.
    • Ensure employees do not leave the workplace wearing any required protective clothing or equipment without HEPA vacuum removal of visible dust.

Competent Person Requirements: All subcontractor employers shall identify a competent person to inspect and manage all activities with potential airborne silica exposure. Subcontractors working on projects within the scope of this Program shall appoint a competent person capable of managing and executing the duties described herein. The competent person must have training in the inspection of work areas and equipment and in the determination of safe working conditions. This person shall have a working knowledge of the 1926.1153 standards, shall be capable of identifying airborne silica hazards, shall determine the need for initial and additional exposure monitoring, shall recommend and implement engineering and work practice controls as outlined in Table 1, shall establish levels of PPE, and shall have the authority to take action to eliminate hazards and correct incidences of noncompliance.

IAQ (indoor air quality):  During construction indoor air quality may need to be sampled to ensure that adjoin occupied areas have not been contaminated during construction. The air may be tested for typical indicators such as but not limited to Temperature, Humidity, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and VOC’s. All testing will be done in accordance with a written IAQ plan written by a Certified Industrial Hygienist. All Occupied renovation type work will require a written IAQ Plan drafted by a Third Party IH.

Asbestos

Minor Asbestos abatement work will take place in the fire damaged area of the existing building stairwell. The Hazardous Materials report prepared by the owner (Redburn Development) outlines all hazardous material that were abated and will be abated prior to work commencing in affected areas.

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 NYSDOL.

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.

Lead

As of this date a lead survey was not performed by the owner. Based on the age of the building it is likely that material containing lead exist.

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, reciprocating saws, 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. 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.

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.
