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 Kingston Housing Authority.

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, 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.

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 8). Key areas on the logistic plan are as follows:

  1. Pedestrians and employee staff of Kingston Housing Authority will always be given the right of way . Limited Parking will be designated on site.

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 Kingston Housing Authority 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, apartment buildings 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 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.

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 Kingston Housing Authority 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 Kingston Housing Authority it must be determined what method of fall protection will be implemented all workers working on the Kingston Housing Authority 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. The use of safety Monitors is not allowed!!!

NOTE: Overhead protection shall be sequenced at each apartment building entry during roof work.

Aerial/Scissor Lifts: If Aerial lifts are used on this project, 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 prior to work.  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/ underground structures if there will be Aerial lifts operating directly over them.All aerial lift work on active roadways may require additional flag persons to control traffic and protect the public. Such use of flag person shall be evaluated prior to commencement of work and be added to the subcontractors JSA/AHA for all workers to review.

Wind shall be a major contributing factor to safe operation of aerial lifts by workers. The “Beaufort Scale of Wind Force” shall be the deciding control measure for safe operation during wind gusts and sustained winds. The below chart shall be reviewed and implemented when winds exceeding the levels outlined are experienced during aerial lift operations. No supervisor or worker shall allow any aerial lift operation where sustained winds or wind gusts exceed the below measurements.

Equipment issues: All operators will be required to have in their possession all appropriate licensing and training as required by OSHA and the NYS Department of Labor. 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 operator’s manual as well as an extinguisher with it at all times. Subcontractors who will have equipment on site will be responsible for having a spill kit available at all times. Superintendent shall designate the location of parked equipment following the end of each work day.

** Please review chapter 24 for additional details **

 
  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.
