Site Specific Safety and Health Program

Greenpoint Landing H3

Project # 643

Emergency Response Plan

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

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.

Site Safety Plan

Project Specific Loss Exposures and Controls

Scope of Proposed Operations: This project, starting in July 2019, has an approximate 24-month project schedule. The project will be devised into several phases of work. First will be excavation and foundation, transitioning to superstructure and finishes will be installed last. The finished product, with respect to our contract work, will be an approximately 297,000 square foot residential building, with the future use being residential apartments along with amenity spaces within the building and surrounding grounds. The building is tucked in a tight neighborhood community next to several existing buildings and an active road way on one side of the site and the East River on the other side. Trucking will play a critical role throughout all phases of work to both remove soil and deliver materials to the site.

During each phase of work, the logistical planning will be governed by the site safety plan. There is a separate site safety plan for each phase of the work and any minor revisions may be bubbled and co-signed by Consigli personnel and the licensed site safety manager. Major revisions must be submitted to the Department of Buildings and approved prior to putting any elements of the plan into place.

At its peak it will have 300-350 workers representing different trades. The installation of an 8’ plywood fence that contains the whole site will precede any work. The excavation grade will change across the site due to existing site conditions. The support of excavation system will be H piles and timber lagging. The foundation will be cast in place concrete set on piles. There is a cellar level and 31 stories (approximately 333’ in height above grade) of superstructure above. The top of the house will be the elevator machine room and bulkhead. The façade will be a window wall system with a combination of glass and metal panels. New site utilities will be installed in various phases. All new hvac and life safety systems such as sprinkler and fire alarm systems will be installed as well. Interior finishes will be consistent with typical residential construction (flooring, tile, cabinets, counter tops, etc.)

Adjacent Properties: Greenpoint Landing H3 is located directly next to several occupied buildings. At no point should any employee from the project enter these buildings for any reason, unless directed by Consigli. It is expected that employees from the project will not interact with these properties in any way. Should an employee be approached by non-project personnel, Consigli should be notified immediately. All egress and travel paths to the buildings are to remain open and unimpeded at all times. Any challenge with coordination of deliveries shall be brought to Consigli’s attention.

OCIP: This project will be run under an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP). All subcontractors, including second and third tier subcontractors, must be enrolled in the OCIP program prior to gaining access to the site. Any other entities (vendors, suppliers, etc.) shall submit a certificate of insurance prior to gaining access to the site. As per the contract, any subcontractor that has over 30 workers shall employ safety personnel, whose sole responsibility shall be the safe prosecution of the work. This individual will also run toolbox meetings, develop JHAs, etc.

Drug/Substance Abuse Testing: Consigli and all subcontractors (“Parties”) to the Owner Controlled Insurance Program(OCIP) for the major construction project will participate in a Drug-Free Workplace Program, (the “Program”) which states that the use of illegal drugs or the abuse of alcohol, prescription or controlled substances on or off duty by persons working on/employed, or seeking employment, on this project, is inconsistent with a safe, healthy and productive work environment.

This Substance Abuse Program (“the Program”) is established by Brookfield in response to the directive as recited above and supersedes any pre-existing ·programs.

Consigli project managers on the project covered by the OCIP will require that this Program be applied to all Contractor-employed personnel working on the project site and to all applicants for such positions.

The intention of this Program is to establish the project as a drug and alcohol free workplace with due regard for the personal privacy interests of project employees. It is not the intention of the Program to intrude on off-duty activities of project employees away from the project site, unless those activities have a job-related impact. The circumstances permitting alcohol and drug testing on the project have been carefully defined.

The Parties acknowledge and agree on the importance of appropriate education, assistance, and treatment for all employees to combat the potential or actual influence of illegal/controlled drugs and alcohol. The Parties therefore encourage the utilization of the educational, assistance and treatment programs which have been established by Unions and/or Contractors as an important component of the overall Substance Abuse Program on Project sites.

The Program establishes minimum standards of testing on a consistent, standardized basis for the safety, productivity and economy of all parties and personnel working on this project. · The Program will apply to all project workers, employees and applicants for employment on this covered project site and to all project Contractors at all tiers. The Program will be regularly reviewed with all Parties concerned the effective implementation and enforcement of the Program, and will require appropriate action by any and all Parties who are not fully committed to and involved in the application of the Program.

All workers shall participate in the drug free workplace program. This shall mean that all tradespeople shall be subject to drug testing. Testing will be conducted using urinalysis testing. All samples will be sent to a certified drug testing lab for analysis. In the event that the testing comes back negative, the worker will be allowed on remain on site. If the result confirms a non-negative result, then the worker will not be allowed on site.

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 entrances, which may be subject to change and be coordinated with the Consigli Superintendent. Also, only permitted truck routes will be used, all contractors will be responsible for adhering to truck routes.

Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE): All workers will wear hard hats, high visibility shirts/vests, and safety glasses at all times. 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.

Designated work hours (any work outside these hours must have prior Consigli approval): All work shall take place during regular business hours of, Monday – Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm. Any work which may need to take place outside of these hours will need to be approved by the Consigli Superintendent, and an after-hours variance approved by the Department of Buildings must be in place prior to such work taking place. All deliveries must be coordinated with the Consigli superintendent, with at least 48 hours’ notice.

Evacuation Plan (RACE, and Routes of Egress): Please refer to the Evacuation Plan attached. All employees shall attend the Project Safety Orientation. At the orientation, workers will be made aware of the evacuation plan, the muster point, and general safety rules and regulations. Workers will also present Consigli with any applicable training documentation. The orientation verification, along with copies of training documents will be filed on site and entered into the electronic orientation log.
