1.0 Scope and Application

As a leader in the construction industry, Turner Construction Company is committed to jobsite safety.

It is our intention to ensure that the safest possible working conditions are provided for all workers and

visitors. This will be achieved through the implementation of this safety program and all contractors

and subcontractor safety programs. By promoting jobsite safety, incidents that increase cost to the

project and suffering to the workers will be eliminated / reduced. It is our belief that with complete

cooperation and compliance from all contractors and subcontractor workers, the ultimate goal of

“ZERO ACCIDENTS” can be achieved.

In achieving our desired goal of “ZERO ACCIDENTS”, Turner Construction Company, in conjunction

with all contractors and subcontractors, will work diligently in the implementation of this safety

program. In addressing this goal, this safety program will be implemented as warranted by Turner

Construction Company. Only Turner Construction Company has the authority to waive any specific

safety program requirement(s).

Contractors and subcontractors are solely responsible for the safety of their workers and / or visitors as

mandated by the rules and regulations of this safety program, their corporate safety program, OSHA 29

CFR 1926 Safety Standards for the Construction Industry, and all local, state, and federally recognized

standards and codes

Project Managers, Superintendents, Assistant/Area Superintendents, Safety Coordinators, and Foreman

are also recognized as the key individuals to the successful implementation and safety management of

this safety program. It is the responsibility of each individual to manage safety on the jobsite by

ensuring their workers are properly trained and equipped to perform their work task in a safe manner.

All workers also have a safety responsibility to protect themselves, their fellow workers, and visitors to

the jobsite by maintaining safe work areas and performing all work tasks in a safe manner. Workers

are also required and empowered to immediately stop and report all unsafe work practices and

conditions which could result in injury or property damage to management.

This program strives to encompass many of the major standards promulgated by the Federal

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI), but in no way is it all encompassing. In the event a situation arises whereby a site

practice is not covered in this program, contractors program, or subcontractors program, the most

applicable and stringent safety standard shall apply using the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration standards as a minimum.

2.0 Project Safety Goals


In order to prevent incidents and injuries that may result from the activities of contractors and

subcontractors, Turner Construction Company has established project safety goals for this

project. These project safety goals apply to the project as a whole and to each individual

contractor and subcontractor.

Individual contractors and subcontractors are also encouraged to establish their own project

safety goals which meet or exceed the goals established in this Project Safety Program.

2.2 Definitions

OSHA Recordable Incident - Incident that involves a contractor’s worker receiving a work related injury that results in loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or requiring medical treatment considered beyond first aid.

Lost Workday Incident - Incident that involves a contractor’s worker receiving a work related injury that does not allow the worker to return to work (based on the restriction of work by the attending physician) on their next regularly scheduled work shift.

Lost Workday - Regularly scheduled workdays that a contractor’s worker misses due to the work restrictions placed on the worker by the attending physician.

Near Miss - Any incident/event that could have resulted in a fatality, serious injury, illness, fire, property damage, etc. to the project, contractor workers, visitors, general public, etc..

Fatality - Work related incident resulting in the death of a contractor’s worker.

Light Duty - The light duty program (Return to Work) encourages the return to work of contractor workers who are not seriously injured. Each injury will be evaluated to determine what light duty jobs are available.

2.3 Procedures

Monthly reports tracking OSHA Recordable Injuries, Lost Workday Injuries, Lost Workdays,

and Fatalities will be developed and reviewed at Monthly Safety Meetings.

2.4 Project Safety Goals

Project Safety Goals are as follows:

- OSHA Recordable Incident Rate – 4.5

- Lost Workday Incident Rate – 1.5

- Fatality Rate - 0.0

3.0 Contractor Safety Qualifications


The goal of Turner Construction Company is to evaluate contractors and subcontractors written

safety programs, statistical safety data, and current safety activities prior to issuing contracts and

initiating work on the Aspen Art Museum. This safety evaluation will be completed by Turner

Management and the Project Safety Manager on all information submitted by the contractor’s

and subcontractor’s at all tiers.

3.2 Experience Modification Factor

All contractors and subcontractors agree to subcontract work only to subcontractors (all tiers)

with an Experience Modification Factor of 1.0 or less.

3.3 Subcontractor Safety Pre-Qualification Form

Before considering a contractor for work on the Aspen Art Museum and awarding a contract,

Turner Construction Company requires all contractors to complete the Turners Subcontractors

Safety Pre-Qualification Form and submit it along with requested safety / claims / insurance

information in writing to their attention for evaluation.

At the project level, all contractors will be responsible and accountable for their subcontractors

(all tiers) submitting Turners Subcontractor Safety Pre-Qualification Form, along with all

attachments in writing, to the Project Safety Manager two weeks prior to the start of work on the

project. See form in attachments.

In conjunction with the information requested on the Turners Subcontractors Safety Pre-

Qualification form, all contractors and subcontractors will submit in writing to the Project Safety

Manager all safety material and information requested on the Turners Pre-Construction Safety

Checklist. See form in attachments.

If any contractors or subcontractors information is deemed as inadequate or insufficient for

proper evaluation, upon Turner Construction request, additional information must be provided.

If any contractors or subcontractors are deemed unacceptable, Turner Construction Company

may utilize one or a combination of the following options:

• Use an alternative contractor or subcontractor who meets required safety standards

• Contractor or subcontractor will develop a “Project Specific Safety Action Plan”

All alternative options must be approved by the Business Unit Safety Director.

4.0 Site Safety Responsibilities


The assignment of a project safety manager, insurance loss prevention, or state safety

consultation personnel to monitor jobsite safety responsibilities is not intended to relieve the

contractor, subcontractor, or tiered-subcontractor of their responsibilities for providing a safe and

healthy work environment for their workers. It is the sole responsibility of all contractor,

subcontractor, and tiered-subcontractors on the project to comply with all federal, state, and local

safety and health guidelines and requirements, and the provisions within this governing CCIP

Project Safety Program. This program is to supplement and assist in their efforts for such

compliance.

7.3 Instructions for Completing a Job Hazard Analysis

Select a work task / operation to be analyzed. Before filling out a JHA form, consider the

purpose of the work task / operation, the activities it involves, the hazards it presents, and

necessary safe guards to protect workers, visitors, general public, equipment, buildings, etc.

If you are not familiar with a particular work task or operation, interview workers for

information. In addition, observing workers performing the work task / operation or

"walking through" the work task / operation step by step may give additional insight into

potential hazards. You may also wish to videotape the work task / operation and analyze it.

Instructions for completing the Job Hazard Analysis are discussed below.

Description of Work

Provide a description of the work to be performed. For example: Hanging sheetrock,

unloading trailers, pulling wire, erecting/dismantling scaffolding, sealing concrete floor, etc.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required

Specify all PPE that will be necessary to protect workers performing the specific job / task.

PPE should include, but not limited to hardhats, ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses, high visibility

garments, face shields, ear plugs/muffs, NIOSH approved respirators, gloves, PFAS

components, etc.

Equipment / Tools Required

Specific all equipment and tools that will be utilized by workers in completing the specific

job / task. Equipment and tools would include: motorized equipment, hand power tools,

hand tools, powder actuated tools, scaffolding, aerial baskets, rolling scaffolding, utility

knives, ladders, spray painters, jackhammers, generators, welders, table saws, lasers, etc.

Material Required

Specify all material and supplies that will be mandated for completing the specific job / task.

Weights of the material should be specified for all equipment. For example: 4’ x 8’ sheet

rock = 60#, 4’ x 10’ sheetrock = 80#, #8 rebar / 10’ length / Bundle of 4 = 104 #, door frame

= 110#, door = 180#, spool of wire = 130#, 5 gallon bucket of paint = 55#, etc.


18

Note: Material exceeding 50# per worker must be addressed in a preplanning meeting with

Turner Superintendent or Project Safety Manager.

Work Permits Required

Specific all “Work Permits” that are applicable to the specific job / task being performed.

Competent Person Required

Specific the onsite “Competent Person” who will be overseeing the specific job / task being performed.

Emergency / Rescue Equipment Required

Emergency / rescue equipment should be available in the event of an accident involving

workers, visitors, or the general public. Equipment may include, but not limited to, one man

baskets, tri-pods, air supplied respirators, fall protection rescue equipment, first aid kits, etc.

Safety / Occupational Health / Fire / Explosion Hazards

Hazards outlined in this section shall be identified and addressed in the JHA within each job /

task steps.

Description of Steps to Be Performed

Examining a specific job by breaking it down into a series of steps or tasks, will enable you

to discover potential hazards employees may encounter. Each job or operation will consist of

a set of steps or tasks. For example, the job might be to move a box from a conveyor in the

receiving area to a shelf in the storage area. To determine where a step begins or ends, look

for a change of activity or change in direction or movement. Picking up the box from the

conveyor and placing it on a hand truck is one step. The next step might be to push the

loaded hand truck to the storage area (a change in activity). Moving the boxes from the truck

and placing them on the shelf is another step. The final step might be returning the hand truck

to the receiving area. Be sure to list all the steps needed to perform the job.

Some steps may not be performed each time; an example could be checking the casters on

the hand truck. However, if that step is generally part of the job, it should be listed.

Hazards Associated With Each Step

A hazard is a potential danger. The purpose of the Job Hazard Analysis is to identify ALL

hazards, both those produced by the environment or conditions and those connected with the

job procedure.

To identify hazards, ask yourself these questions about each step:


19

� Is there a danger of the worker striking against, being struck by, or otherwise making

injurious contact with an object?

� Can the worker be caught in, by, or between objects?

� Is there potential for slipping, tripping, or falling?

� Could the worker suffer strains from pushing, pulling, lifting, bending, or twisting?

� Is the environment hazardous to safety and / or health (e.g. toxic gas, vapor, mist,

fumes, dust, heat, or radiation) of the worker(s), visitors, and general public?

Close observation and knowledge of the job is important. Examine each step carefully to find

and identify hazards --the actions, conditions, and possibilities that could lead to an accident.

Compiling an accurate and complete list of potential hazards will allow you to develop the

recommended safe job procedures needed to prevent accidents.

Safety Controls for each Step

Using the first two columns as a guide, decide what actions or procedures are necessary to

eliminate or minimize the hazards that could lead to an accident, injury, or occupational

illness.

Begin by trying to: 1) engineer the hazard out; 2) provide guards, safety devices, etc.; 3)

provide personal protective equipment; 4) provide job instruction training; 5) maintain good

housekeeping; 6) insure good ergonomics (positioning the person in relation to the machine

or other elements in such a way as to improve safety).

List the recommended safe operating procedures. Begin with an action word. Say exactly

what needs to be done to correct the hazard, such as, "lift using your leg muscles". Avoid

general statements, such as, "be careful". List the required or recommended personal

protective equipment necessary to perform each step of the job.

Give a recommended action or procedure for each hazard. Serious hazards should be

corrected immediately. The JHA should then be changed to reflect the new conditions.

Finally, review your input on all three columns for accuracy and completeness. Determine if

the recommended actions or procedures have been put in place. Re evaluate the job hazard

analysis as necessary.


20

8.0 Emergency Procedures


An emergency is any situation that poses an immediate threat to life (workers, visitors, general

public) or property. This would include, but not be limited to, collapse of a building or a portion

there of, fire, explosion, flooding, equipment failure (i.e.: collapse of a crane), release of toxic

gases, dusts, fumes, smoke, natural gas, injury / property damage to the general public / visitors,

etc.

In order to facilitate a prompt and orderly response to jobsite emergencies, all contractors and

subcontractors shall comply with the emergency procedures outlined in this program. These

emergency procedures are designed to guide contractors and subcontractors in minimizing the

impact of jobsite emergencies in regards to safety of the workers, safety of the general public and

visitors, and/or property damage.

To maintain effective communication in the event of an emergency, a list of "key" onsite and

corporate office personnel (with phone numbers) will be developed by each Contractor and

Subcontractor. This list of primary contacts will be submitted to Turner Construction Company

management team (i.e., Project Superintendent, Project Safety Manager) prior to commencing

property damage to determine if the possibility of collapse, fire, explosion, electrical injury, or

any other threatening conditions exist. If threatening conditions exist, one or a combination of

the following actions will be initiated.

1. Evacuate workers from the area

2. Keep all non-essential workers back and away from the evacuated area

3. Prohibit re-entry into the area until designated safe by the Project Superintendents or Project Safety Manager

8.10 Evacuations

All contractors and subcontractors will designate shelter locations and assembly areas for

emergency evacuation of work personnel upon mobilizing on the jobsite. As the project

progresses, shelter locations and assembly areas are to be reviewed on a regular basis to

determine if changes are warranted.

Shelter locations and assembly areas are to be posted by all contractors and subcontractors in a

conspicuous location on their jobsite trailer. Should the shelter locations or assembly areas

change, the new locations will be posted. TCCO shelters and assembly areas will be posted as a

Safety Bulletin on the jobsite bulletin board.

All workers assigned to the jobsite will be instructed by the contractor or subcontractor on the

location of all shelter locations, assembly areas, and the emergency alert systems that have been

developed for the jobsite. Should work assignments, shelter locations, assembly areas, or the

emergency alert system change, affected workers will be re-instructed on the changes.


25

Should evacuation to a designated shelter or assembly area be warranted, contractors and

subcontractors will be responsible for accounting (head count) of their workers on the jobsite.

All workers will remain in the shelters or assembly areas until released by the Project

Superintendents, Project Safety Manager, Contractors, or Subcontractors management

representatives.

Due to changing weather conditions and jobsite exposures, all contractors and subcontractors are

responsible and accountable for updating emergency evacuation plans and procedures for

Tornado’s/Thunderstorms/Lightning/High Winds, Fire, Bomb Threats, and Property Damage.

Revising these plans and procedures will include, but not limited to, training new and reassigned

workers, posting new shelter and assembly area locations, and any other safety related issues

which are warranted to maintain effective communication on the jobsite.

8.11 News Media

Should a jobsite emergency occur, all contractors and subcontractors would instruct all workers

to refer any news media coverage to the attention of Turner Construction Company.

Under no circumstances are workers to express their opinion, volunteer “off the record”

statements, state “No comment” or make any other detrimental statements which could be

construed by the news media or general public as negative or negligent.

8.12 Additional Considerations

All contractors and subcontractors should know the location of all main utility shutoff valves for

gas, water, and electricity in the portion of the building they are working in. In the event of an

emergency, the shutting down of utilities could be crucial in terms of saving lives and reducing

further property damage.

In the event of a power failure on the project, all contractors and subcontractors are required to

maintain an adequate supply of flashlights or other emergency lighting equipment on the project

for evacuating workers from the buildings.


26

• Specific rigging and trial lift guidelines

• Training of all workers


40

16.0 Electrical


Electricity on the jobsite can pose a serious hazard to workers by exposing workers to the

dangers of electric shock, electrocution, fires and explosions. Therefore, to eliminate electrical

exposures to workers, all contractors and subcontractors will comply with OSHA 1926.400

Subpart K Electrical Standards and NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace

(2009 Edition or most current edition) while performing work on this project.

Electrical current can affect the body by three primary factors:

1) Amount of current flowing through the body (measured in amperes)

2) Path of the current through the body

3) Length of time the body is in the circuit

Other factors that may affect the severity of the shock are:

1) The voltage of the current

2) The presence of moisture in the environment

3) The phase of the heart cycle when the shock occurs

4) The general health of the person prior to the shock

Current Level (In Milliamperes)

Probable Effect on the Human Body

1 mA Perception level. Slight tingling sensation. Still dangerous under certain conditions. 5 mA Slight shock felt, not painful but disturbing. Average individual can let go. However,

strong involuntary reactions to shocks in this range may lead to injury. 6 – 30 mA Painful shock, muscular control is lost. This is called the freezing current or “let-go”

range. 50 – 150 mA Extreme pain, respirator arrest, severe muscular contractions. Individual cannot let go.

Death is possible. 1000 – 4,300 mA Ventricular fibrillation (the rhythmic pumping action of the heart ceases). Muscular

contraction and nerve damage occur. Death is most likely. 10,000 mA Cardiac arrest, severe burns, and probable death

16.2 General Electrical Requirements

Electrical subcontractors installing building mc, whips, etc. will install wire nuts with electrical

tape on the terminated end of all wiring to prevent accidental contact by workers in the event

wiring should be energized.

Where feasible and site conditions permit (defined by Turner jobsite management), power cords

for temporary upright panels, temporary spider boxes, etc. will be suspended a minimum of 7’

off the floor and working surface by non-conductive hangers. Power cords will be identified by


41

bright flagging (red, yellow, orange, green) to warn workers in the area and to avoid accidental

contact with ladders, scissor lifts, lift baskets, pods, etc.

16.3 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

Workers will be protected from electrical shock by using GFCI’s on all 120 volts single-phase 15

and 20-ampere circuit lines. This requirement is mandatory for both permanent and temporary

wiring within the structure and surrounding area. GFCI protection will consist of GFCI outlets,

GFCI circuit breakers, or GFCI pigtails.

A program of testing and documentation of testing for the GFCI system shall be implemented.

Upon completion or extension of the temporary power system, the Contractor shall test each

power receptacle for proper polarity and proper GFCI operation. After initial testing is

completed, the Contractor shall conduct routine documented weekly tests. The results of all

testing shall be documented and available to Turner Construction Company upon request

All projects will be 100% GFCI compliant. An “Assured Grounding Program” may be used only

in addition to the GFCI Program.

16.4 Electric Tools

All contractors and subcontractors shall inspect, test, and maintain electrical tools, equipment,

extension cords, and other electrical equipment in safe working condition.

All portable electric tools such as saws, hammers, extension cords, drills, vibrators and float

machines, etc. shall bear the label of a Nationally Certified Testing Agency such as Underwriters

Laboratories, CSA, ETL, or the like.

Single-phase motors shall have three-wire cable; two for current to motor and one (insulation

GREEN) connected from motor casing in a suitable ground. Three-pronged plugs shall be used

on extension cords which carry a third or ground wire.

Certain small electric tools may only provide a two-pronged connector as supplied from the

manufacturer. These types of electric tools are categorized as “Double Insulated” and shall be

identified by the manufacturer’s rating label and permitted for use on the project.

All tools shall be maintained in their original condition. Damaged electrical tools (ie: damage to

the case or housings of the tool, power cord is cut/exposed internal wiring/missing ground pin,

etc.) will be removed from service and/or tagged “Out of Service”.

16.5 Electric Equipment

Heavy stationary electric equipment with dead metal parts like housings, boxes and hoist frames

shall be grounded.


42

16.6 Extension Cords

Only round heavy duty (type S, SJO, SJTW, ST, SO, STD) extension cords are permitted on this

project. Flat cords are prohibited on the project.

Any extension cord which is damaged (i.e., outer insulation is cut or torn / grounding pin is

missing / wiring is exposed at plugs, etc.) shall be removed from service by cutting off the male

plug or tagging “Out of Service”. The Contractor shall remove all extension cords that have

been spliced or repaired with electrical tape. Taping of extension cords in any manner is

prohibited on the project. Repairs of extension cords must be by a qualified electrician.

The extension cord gauge of wire shall be sized for the designated use, but in no case less than

12 gauge (Heavy Duty Contractor Grade). For an overall length exceeding 100 feet, one size

larger shall be used. All extension cord shall be plugged into job-site power that has proper over

current and ground fault circuit protection (GFCI).

Whenever an extension cord is plugged into an existing building outlet for construction work, a

GFCI is required between the extension cord and the tool.

All extension cords shall be kept out of walkways, equipment travel ways, protected from sharp

edges (ie. metal stud tracks, closing doors, etc), and out of wet conditions on the floor.

Where feasible, extension cords will be suspended (7’) above the floor or working surface.

Metal staples (insulated staples are permitted), nails, and bare metal wire (insulated wire is

permitted) are prohibited for suspending extension cords.

Extension cords not in use for the day by workers will be rolled up and properly stored away.

16.7 Temporary Wiring & Lighting

Temporary wiring shall be minimum non-metallic sheathed cable and shall suite the conditions

and environment where it is to be installed. No single conductor cable will be permitted for

temporary wiring or lighting. Temporary wiring shall be promptly removed after it is no longer

in service.

Temporary lighting shall not be put on the same circuit as temporary receptacles. A separate

lighting circuit for the building, stairways, and exit areas is required.

Temporary lighting shall be secured high enough above the floor to avoid contact with workers

and secured by insulated wire. Bare wire is prohibited. Temporary wiring shall be maintained at

least 6’6” above the ground or floor and secured by non-conductive wiring

The minimum illumination level shall be 5 foot-candles for all work areas and travel areas. Task

lighting is the responsibility of the contractor and subcontractor.


43

The Contractor(s) installing all wiring and lighting shall be responsible for the inspection and

maintenance of such materials. Burned out / broken / missing light bulbs and broken / missing

light bulb guards, etc. will be replaced immediately.

16.8 Lockout / Tagout

The intent and purpose of this procedure is to limit and/or eliminate the danger of the unexpected

release of stored or residual energy (ie: mechanical, electrical, etc.) that could cause injury or

death to workers or the general public. Therefore, contractors and/or subcontractors will fully

comply with OSHA Subpart K 1926.417 “Locking and Tagging of Circuits” standards when

implementing Lockout/Tagout Standards.

Valves, switches, electrical panels and circuits, and other mechanical or electrical equipment

must be properly locked and tagged out of service to prevent the system from being energized

and/or operating while installation, maintenance, or repair work is in progress.

A formal Lockout/Tagout program is required for executing LO/TO work on the project. The

Contractor or subcontractor completing the work which requires LO/TO is responsible for

training all affected workers and implementing LO/TO procedures.

The Contractor or subcontractors Competent Person for LO/TO, Project Manager, and

Superintendent through preplanning and surveying field operations will determine if workers are

required to perform tasks that may expose them to any hazards associated with mechanical

and/or energized equipment. If hazards are identified, a safety pre-planning meeting will be

conducted with Turner Construction Company prior to the start of any work.

All LO/TO programs will establish an energy control and training program that includes written

procedures for the control of potentially hazardous energy when workers are engaged in

maintenance and/or servicing activities and presented to Turner Construction Company at the

preplanning meeting. The LO/TO program procedures must clearly outline the scope, purpose,

authorization, rules, techniques, PPE, workers training, etc. to be used for the control of

hazardous energy, and the methods of compliance.

In conjunction with the above, lockout devices (ie: locks) should be substantial enough to

prevent removal, separate keyed locks should be used for workers, lock tags should be labeled

with the workers and contractor/subcontractors name, etc.

If working in a multi-shift environment, each worker(s) will remove their respective lock at the

end of the shift so the new shift worker(s) can add their respective lock. Locks (single shift or

multi shift) will remain in place until the work task is 100% completed.


44

If locks cannot be utilized in LO/TO, then the BU Safety Director must authorize alternative

means (ie: tags, warning signs, etc) of protecting workers from mechanical or electrical hazards.

If tags/signs are utilized, they must warn against energizing (ie: DO NOT ENERGIZE) the

system or equipment, be substantial enough to prevent removal, and include the name of the

worker and contractor/subcontractor.

Any worker(s) tampering with or removing locks, tags, warning signs, etc. outside of their

control or without authorization by the contractor or subcontractor will be removed from the

project.

The Contractor or subcontractor must ensure and verify that before any of their workers performs

any installation, servicing, or maintenance on circuits, electrical panels, machines, equipment,

etc. are isolated and rendered inoperative, zero energy, etc. If unable to render inoperative, zero

energy, etc., an “Energized Electrical Work Permit” must be completed and obtained by the

contractor and/or subcontractor. See below “Working On Exposed Energized Parts – Energized

Electrical Work Permit” Section 16.9

The Contractor or subcontractor will ensure that worker training has been completed in LO/TO.

Upon request, contractors and subcontractors will provide to Turner written certifications of

training showing worker names and dates of training.

16.9 Working On Exposed Energized Parts – Energized Electrical Work Permit

It is Turner policy that no one works on live electrical circuits, panels, etc. However, if a

situation arises where it is impossible to perform a work task with the circuit, panel, etc. de-

energized, the contractor and/or subcontractor will contact the Turner Superintendent and/or

Project Safety Manager prior to conducting any energized work on the project to set up a formal

safety pre-planning meeting. The BU Safety Director will then be contacted to participate in the

safety pre-planning meeting so proper procedures for working on energized parts can be

reviewed.

During the safety pre-planning meeting, the “Energized Electrical Work Permit” will be

reviewed, discussed, and completed by the contractor and/or subcontractor performing the work

on the energized circuit, panel, etc. Upon completion of the permit, all workers involved in the

energized work task will meet to review the permit and all safety precautions.

Only qualified workers who are knowledgeable of electrical hazards (ie: shock, electrocutions,

flash arc’s, etc.), special precautionary techniques, personal protective equipment, insulating and

shielding materials, insulated tools, etc. may work on energized electric circuits, panels, etc.

Upon request by Turner, documentation of training must be submitted along with the “Energized

Electrical Work Permit”.


45

All energized work will be completed in strict compliance with NFPA 70E (2009 edition or most

current edition) standard requirements for flame resistant clothing so workers are protected from

shocks, electrocutions, and severe burns from a arc flash which releases thermal energy (up to

35,000 Degrees Fahrenheit), acoustical energy, pressure wave, and debris.

All contractors and subcontractors will maintain in place permanent or temporary covers for light

switches, outlets, temporary electrical panels, permanent electrical panels, etc. Electrical rooms

will be protected by closing and locking doors when unoccupied, warning signs on the door for

“Authorized Workers Only – Energized Parts” or similar wording, housekeeping will be

maintained to eliminate tripping/slipping hazards, etc.

16.10 Working Around Overhead Electrical Power Lines

It shall be the responsibility of the contractor performing work adjacent to overhead electrical

power lines to protect workers and equipment from coming in contact with all power lines.

Protection should include, but not limited to one or a combination of the following: de-energize

lines, blanketed lines, ground monitors, warning signs or flag lines, train workers, or any other

means necessary to protect workers and equipment. See Section 37 for additional specifics.

16.11 Working Around Underground Electrical Power Lines

It shall be the responsibility of the contractor performing underground work (ie: Trenching /

Excavating) to locate all underground electrical power lines prior to commencing any excavating

or trenching work. Protection should include, but not limited to one or a combination of the

following: de-energize lines, Excavation / Trenching Permit, train workers, hand digging,

utilization of a vac truck, or any other means to protect workers and equipment. See Section 37

for additional specifics.

18.0 Excavation and Trenching


This section provides requirements to ensure the safety of all workers who are required to work

in and around excavations and trenches and to provide guidelines for locating existing

underground utilities.

The contractors and/or subcontractors “Competent Person” in charge of the excavation and/or

trench work must comply with the following:

• All preparatory work is conducted as described in this program before any excavation work begins.

• Excavation and trenching work is performed within the guidelines of this program. • Soil Classification is performed before contractors are allowed in the excavation.

18.2 Soil Classification

Soil classification means a method of categorizing soils and/or rock into categories. The

Competent Person is responsible for designating the type of soil for determining “Cave In”

protection for workers.

Type A Soil

Type A soil means cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 tons per square

foot or greater.

Examples of cohesive soils are clay, silty clay, sandy clay, clay loam, and, in some cases, silty

clay loam and sandy clay loam. Cemented soils such as caliche and hardpan are also considered

Type A.

However, soil cannot be classified as Type A if the soil is fissured, or subject to vibration from

heavy traffic, pile driving or similar effects or the soil has been previously disturbed.

Type B Soil

Type B soil means cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength greater than 0.5 but

less than 1.5 tons per square foot.

Examples of Type B soils are: granular cohesion less soils including angular gravel (similar to

crushed rock), silt, silt loam, sandy loam and, in some cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay

loam. Included also are previously disturbed soils except those which would otherwise be

classed as Type C soil and soil that meets the unconfined compressive strength or cementation

requirements for Type A, but is fissured or subject to vibration or dry rock that is not stable.


48

Type C Soil

Type C soil means soil with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tons per square foot or

less.

Examples of Type C soil are; granular soils including gravel, sand, and loamy sand, or

submerged soil or rock and previously disturbed soils.

Note: Unclassified soil shall be sloped 1½:1 (horizontal to vertical) or shored when excavation

exceeds 4 feet in depth.

18.3 Surface Encumbrances

All surface encumbrances (ie: Electrical boxes, Phone boxes, sidewalks, driveways, material

storage, trailers, etc) that are located so as to create a hazard to contractors and subcontractors

shall be removed or supported (ie: Shoring and/or Tying back) as necessary to safeguard workers

in the excavation.

18.4 Underground Utilities

Prior to any type of excavating, trenching, drilling, pier hole drilling, post or pile driving, footing

trenches, or any other kind of digging on the project, the contractor will notify Turner, complete

an Excavation / Trenching Permit, and contact the State “One Call” for identifying and marking

all underground utility locations prior to initiating any underground work on the project. See

Section 37 for specifics.

18.5 Excavation / Trenching Permit

project. Attendees will consist of the contractor/subcontractor foremen and competent person,

and designated Turner safety representatives.

The Contractor’s Competent Person responsible for the excavation shall be assigned to the

project and on site during all operations relating to the open excavation.

The Competent Person shall determine the soil classification. Unclassified soil shall be treated as

Type C Soil.

Workers entering excavations and/or trenches 4’ or greater in depth will be protected from

“Cave In” by shoring, sloping, benching, trench boxes, or other acceptable means.


49

For excavation 20 feet or greater in depth, a Registered Professional Engineer hired by the

Contractor shall design and stamp/certify all “Cave In” protection systems. All designs shall be

submitted to Turner Construction Company and filed at the Contractor’s field office.

All excavated materials and stockpiled materials shall be placed a minimum of 2 feet from the

edge of the excavation. Loose soil or rocks shall be removed from the sides of excavation walls.

Maximum height of stockpiled material (spoils and material) will be limited to a maximum

height of 6’ to 8’ so forces on the edge of the trench are minimized.

Workers walking or working adjacent to an excavation and/or trench greater than 6’ in depth

must be protected from fall hazards in accordance with the projects 6’ fall protection policy.

Protection can consist of barriers (ie: orange fencing, concrete barriers), temporary warning

lines, handrails on trench boxes, PFAS, etc.

Excavations 4 feet in depth or greater shall have a stairway, ladder, ramp, or other safe means of

egress within 25 feet of any worker in the excavation.

All excavations before entry shall be inspected and documented on the “Daily Excavation /

Trenching Log” by the Contractor’s Competent Person in accordance to the following

requirements and submitted to Turner on a daily basis.

If a “Fall Arrest” program is utilized in lieu of a “Fall Restraint” program, the contractor and

subcontractor “Competent Person” must take into consideration the calculation of free fall


51

distance and required clearances (Free Fall + Shock Absorber Deceleration + D Ring to Feet + 2’

to 3’ Safety Factor), arresting forces (Maximum: 1,800 lbs), and potential pendulum swing falls

when implementing this program.

Contractor and Subcontractor “Competent Person” must train all workers in the “Site Specific

Fall Protection and Rescue” program prior to being assigned a work task with fall exposures to

workers. All training must be documented to verify that workers are properly trained in fall

protection and presented to Turner Construction upon request.

19.3 Perimeter Protection Removal Permit

Prior to the removal of any guardrails, warning lines, windows, wall sections, hole covers, etc

installed for protection on building roofs, floor perimeters, stairways, holes, elevator shafts,

skylights, mechanical curbing, etc., by any contractors or subcontractors, a “Perimeter

Protection Removal Permit” must be obtained from the Project Safety Manager or Project

Superintendent.

19.4 Personal Fall Arrest Systems

All contractors and subcontractors workers are required to wear a PFAS when working from

suspended scaffolds, articulating boom lifts, scissor lifts, working above any fall protection

any falls greater then 6’ where a “Fall Restraint” system is unavailable.

A Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) must be comprised of a full body harness, connector (ie:

shock absorbing lanyard (knots are prohibited) with a double locking snap hook / retractable /

rope grab), and anchorage point (minimum of 5,000 pounds per worker). Maximum fall

exposure is limited to 6’ with a deployed shock absorber.

All PFAS components will be inspected daily by the worker and by the “Competent Person” in

accordance to OSHA Fall Protection Standards. Contractor and subcontractor will be

responsible for maintaining proper documentation of PFAS components.

A PFAS can not be attached to a guardrail system unless the guardrail system is designed by an

engineer to accommodate the PFAS.

All full body harnesses with plastic chest clips, damaged / cut webbing, distorted metal buckles,

illegible tags, etc. are to be removed from service.

Anchor points should be shoulder height or greater where possible.


52

All retractable lines (wire cable and web), rope grab lines, etc. will be protected from all sharp

edges (ie: concrete edges, metal studs, etc) to avoid damage to the PFAS. Where warranted,

lines will be repositioned or sleeved, edges padded, etc.

19.5 Scaffolding

During scaffolding erection and dismantling, workers will be required to tie off while working

two stages or more above the ground. In addition to tying off, a minimum of two planks will be

provided for erection and dismantling. Utilizing one plank for standing on is prohibited.

19.6 Ladders

To reduce workers exposures to slips / falls from ascending / descending ladder and working off

ladders, injuries from handling and positioning ladders, etc. “Ladders Last” should be

implemented by all subcontractors on the project. For specifics, see Section 25 on Ladders and

Stairs.

If “Ladders Last” cannot be utilized, then the 6-foot fall protection policy does not apply to

ascending / descending ladders. However, when working off ladders over 6’high (ie: step,

extension, etc), utilization of a fall protection system (ie: PFAS) is mandatory where feasible (ie:

Anchorage point is available for tie off). For specifics requirements on ladders, obtaining a

“Ladder Permit”, workers working above handrails adjacent to building perimeters, window

openings, elevator shafts, etc. see Section 25 on Ladders and Stairs.

19.7 Stilts

Prior to using any stilts on the project, subcontractor workers will clean the floor of all debris (ie:

trash, plastic, scrap wood / metal, etc), extension cords, water, etc to eliminate tripping / slipping

hazards to the worker. Surfaces must be flat and free of pits, holes, obstructions, recessed areas,

or any other exposures that could cause workers to trip/slip/fall.

Workers will not use stilts if the worker is exposed to falling over any handrails, through window

openings / elevator shafts / stairway shafts / mechanical shafts, etc or any other openings that

would expose the worker to falls greater than 6’. If work must be executed in these areas, work

should be performed out of scissor lifts or scaffolding. If unavailable, then additional handrails

must be installed to a protective height of 42” to protect the worker.

Workers will not utilize stilts while working in stairways or on scaffolding.

19.8 Floor and Roof Openings, Recessed Areas, Skylights

Roof and floor openings, recessed areas / block outs, skylights, etc must be protected by the use

of covers, guardrails, warning lines, or safety nets.

The utilization of stair towers, platform ladders, scissor lifts, aerial baskets, etc. in lieu of

standard step / extension ladders should be considered by all contractors and subcontractors.


56

20.0 Fire Hazards and Prevention


In order to reduce to a minimum the possibility of fire damage and associated losses incurred

during the construction of the project the following are guidelines and requirements to be

followed by all Turner Construction Company workers, Contractors, and Subcontractors

involved on the project.

The control of fire hazards and the reduction of losses from fire depend upon four fundamental principles.

4. Fire prevention engineering/ jobsite preplanning.

5. Early detection and extinguishment.

6. Damage control.

7. Prevention of personal injuries from fire or panic.

20.2 Fundamentals of Fire Safety

Preplanning the site is crucial to the protection of lives and property. The basic sequence of

actions that must be taken in case of fire is the basis for establishment of the site fire plan.

Understanding the actions and why the sequence is important will aid in the plan’s development.

The actions are, in order:

8. Evacuate

9. Notify the Fire Department

10. Fight the fire

The priority of this sequence should not be broken; however, this does not mean that more than

one item cannot occur at a time.

20.3 Evacuation

The first action to be taken in case of fire is the protection of lives. The fire protection program

must provide for the ability of all workers to exit in case of an emergency. Key considerations

include:

• Stairways and ladders used for egress must be kept free of combustible / flammable materials, other building material, and equipment / tools

• Temporary / permanent lighting must be installed and maintained in working condition

• Post and maintain Exit signs

• Assembly Area should be designated outside the building for assembly of workers


57

• Practice Fire Drills for evaluating the building should be conducted by contractors

Contractors need to be aware of their surroundings at all times and plan for an evacuation with

documented procedures given to their workers.

20.4 Notification

If a fire occurs, notify Turner Construction Company management immediately after evacuating

personnel. If it is a fire, which cannot be extinguished immediately, notify the Fire Department

by dialing 911. Extinguish the fire with non-combustibles such as sand, water, or an available

fire extinguisher, only if you are not putting yourself or others in harm’s way. Remove or shut

off fuel supply such as removing debris or stored material or shutting off propane. Each

Contractor is to clear the way for the Fire Department and assist in any way directed.

20.5 Types of Fires

The Underwriters Laboratory classifies fires by three general types of extinguishing agents.

• Class A Fires - Fires in ordinary materials such as wood, paper, excelsior, rags and rubbish. The quenching and cooling effects of water or solutions containing large percentages of water are of first importance in these fires.

• Class B Fires - Fires in such flammable liquids as gasoline, oil and grease require smothering action. Solid streams of water are likely to spread the fire (under certain circumstances water fog nozzles may prove effective).

• Class C Fires - Fire in or near electrical equipment must be smothered by using a non-conducting agent such as carbon dioxide or dry chemical compounds.

Fire extinguishment is usually accomplished by one of four methods:

• Eliminate oxygen from the air. Replace air with an inert gas. Apply a non-combustible cover or a chemical that will dilute the oxygen below point of combustion.

• Remove or shut off the fuel supply. Divert or shut off valves in liquid or gas fuel supply lines and remove the burning fuel.

• Reduce the temperature below the ignition point. Cool the burning material with water or chemicals.

• Interrupt the chain reaction of the fire.

20.6 Hot Work Permit

63

23.0 Hearing Conservation Policy


Turner Construction Company management recognizes that workers are sometimes exposed to

excessive noise levels on the job. Excessive noise can, and often does, cause permanent hearing

loss if engineering controls or personal protective equipment is not used.

Limiting exposure to excessive noise through engineering controls is Turner Construction

Company management’s preferred method of control. (Engineering controls may be as simple as

removing a generator from the work area and using a longer power cord.) Where engineering

controls are not feasible, supervisors shall provide and ensure that their workers wear hearing

protection. When hearing protection is necessary, the use of protective equipment is required.

The objective of this policy is to prevent the unnecessary loss of hearing due to excessive noise

levels.

Contractors will be aware of and will notify their workers who may be exposed to sound levels

equivalent to an average of 85 decibels (dB) over an eight-hour period that hearing protection is

available and shall be utilized. As a rule of thumb, 85 dB may be defined as any level at which

one has to shout in order to communicate at a distance of three feet. Contractors exposed to noise

levels of 90 decibels or more shall be provided with and required to wear hearing protection,

such as earmuffs or ear inserts. Contractors are solely responsible for any required noise

monitoring for their worker(s) in their work areas.

When protective equipment is necessary; workers shall be given the opportunity to select their

hearing protection from two different types of hearing protection. Usually these will be earplugs

or earmuffs or a combination of the two. Contractor workers who are issued hearing protective

equipment shall receive training, which includes informing workers of the effects of noise on

hearing and the purpose, use and care of hearing protection. This training is the responsibility of

the Contractor.

Warning signs stating “High Noise Area – Hearing Protection required” will be posted by the

Contractor on the periphery of all work areas where Contractor workers may be exposed to

excessive noise levels.

Portable radios, ipods, walkmans, etc. are prohibited on all projects.


64

24.0 Housekeeping


Maintaining excellent housekeeping on the project is essential to reducing trip hazards, fire

loading of the building, maintaining emergency access/egress in and out of the building, etc.

Therefore, all contractors and subcontractors will be responsible for daily clean up of all forms,

packing material, scrap lumber, scrap metal, miscellaneous scrap material, boxes, pallets, and

any other debris from work areas, passageways, walkways, stairways, in and around the building,

project site, etc.

24.2 Nothing Hits the Floor

In maintaining housekeeping standards on the project, contractors and subcontractors will

implement “Nothing Hits the Floor” on the project. Implementation will include the following

procedures:

4) Rolling carts containers or other means of collecting scrap material/trash will be

provided at all work stations (ie: cutting metal/wood studs, pipes, etc) for the

collection of material debris. Throwing material debris on the floor is prohibited.

5) All work stations will be waist high in order to eliminate excessive bending over and

squatting down for cutting material.

24.3 Procedures

Workers working with lumber with protruding nails/screws will either bent the nails/screws over

or remove the nails/screws before stacking in a pile or properly disposing in a waste/recycle bin.

Wire banding from packing crates and building material will be immediately disposed of by

workers in appropriate refuse containers after removing. Banding left on the floor at any time is

prohibited.

Contractors and subcontractors utilizing subcontractors for specific work (ie: concrete core

cutting, concrete pumping, etc) will be responsible for maintaining housekeeping requirements

by picking up and properly disposing of debris (ie: concrete cores, pallets, buckets, etc) or having

their subcontractor responsible for picking up and properly disposing of debris.

Construction scrap and debris shall be removed daily during the course of construction,

alterations, and repairs. Safe means shall be provided to facilitate such removal. At no time

shall debris be allowed to accumulate. Contractors are solely responsible for the daily clean up

of their immediate work areas.


65

Contractors and subcontractors will provide individual containers for the collection and

separation of combustible waste and trash from oily and solvent soaked rags. Containers used

for oily and solvent soaked rags containing combustible and flammable liquids, or other

hazardous wastes such as caustics, acids, or harmful dusts, shall be metal and equipped with

metal covers

Any dumpster in use shall use an “open door” policy or have a proper step platform built up to

its side. Garbage and other waste shall be disposed of daily.

Storage areas and tool rooms must be kept free from the accumulation of material and debris that

may cause tripping, fire, explosion, or harboring of rats and other pest hazards.

Contractors are responsible for providing trash receptacles for lunch and break trash. Littering

by workers is prohibited on the jobsite.

Contractors are required to participate in a general cleanup effort on a weekly basis if specified

by contract. If a contractor fails to complete housekeeping tasks, Turner Construction Company

management will assign those duties to another contractor and back charge the failing contractor

for all expenses incurred.


66

25.0 Ladders and Stairways


Ladders and stairways are an integral part of building construction. Therefore, extreme caution

must be exercised by all subcontractors’ workers while ascending, descending, and performing

work off stepladders, extension ladders, job made ladders, and in stairways.

25.2 Ladders Last Program

As a safer alternative to ascending, descending, and performing work off ladders, handling and

positioning ladders, etc. all subcontractors are to adopt a “Ladders Last Program” on the

project. This program will focus on safer alternatives such as aerial baskets, scissor lifts, rolling

scaffolding, one basket pods, platform ladders, etc in lieu of working off ladders and exposing

workers to potential falls.

Preplanning of “Ladder Last” to determine feasibility with Turner will be the subcontractor’s

responsibility.

Ladder Permits will be required when using ladders on the project.

25.3 Fall Protection

When working over 6’ high from ladders in the interior of the building fall protection will be

implemented when feasible. If not feasible, the subcontractor will contact Turner to conduct a

preplanning meeting to discuss alternatives means of protecting workers (ie: Ladders Last).

When working on ladders adjacent (within 6’) to the buildings perimeter, open windows, open

atriums, open stairways, open shafts, or any other location where the worker will be above the

handrail and exposed to a fall, fall protection will be mandatory and established a minimum of 6’

back from the edge of exposure as to allow the worker to safely tie off and approach the work.


A set of steps or ladder must be provided at all personnel points of access where there is a break

in elevation of 19” or more.

A double-cleat ladder or two or more separate ladders must be used when ladders are the only

means of egress from a working area with 25 or more workers.

Ladders shall be inspected daily by the contractor’s competent person. The use of ladders with

broken or missing rungs or steps, broken or split rails, or other faulty or defective construction is

prohibited. When ladders with such defects are discovered, they shall immediately be withdrawn

from service and tagged to prevent use, or destroyed.


67

Every worker involved in stair and ladder use must be trained by the contractor and

subcontractor competent person in the recognition and avoidance of stair and ladder hazards.

When ascending or descending ladders, workers shall face the ladder using 3-point contact (two

hands / one foot or one hand / two feet) at all times. Workers shall not carry tools, material, or

other objects that could cause the worker to lose balance and fall. To maintain 3-point contact,

tool ropes shall be provided by the workers subcontractor for hoisting and lowering all tools,

material, etc.

32.0 Impalement Protection


During the construction of reinforced concrete buildings, Contractors may erect forms or

perform other duties over exposed vertical or upturned reinforcing bars, bolts, or other

protrusions (i.e., conduits/pipes). Serious injuries and deaths have resulted from falls on these

protrusions. Also, floor slab reinforcing that extends beyond a section of slab in place can be a

tripping hazard.

All vertical or upturned protruding reinforcing ste el, electrical conduit, water pipes, etc.,

which constitute an impalement hazard, shall be protected to eliminate the hazard of

impalement.

Several approved methods to protect against this hazard are:

• Empty steel drums placed over the dowels until the column reinforcing is placed. The drums are then moved forward as the work progresses.

• Shallow boxes made from scrap lumber used in the same manner as No. 1 above.

• Plank covers for rows of bond bars.

• “Barguard”: (produced by the American All Safe Company, Inc., Buffalo, New York) placed over each bar. (Check local or state regulations)

• Note: Mushroom caps do not constitute impalement prevention.

• 4” x 4” x 4” wood blocks drilled to bar size and used as No. 4 above.

• Continuous 2”x4” wood rail secured to avoid displacement.

• Wire mesh or reinforcing bars extending beyond a section of slab in place shall be bent

down and secured to eliminate a tripping hazard. Otherwise, Contractors shall be

prohibited from walking over the area.


83

33.0 Safety Signs, Posters, and Banners


Danger, Caution, No Trespassing, Construction Personnel Only, and other safety signs, posters,

and banners, are designed to protect the general public, contractor, and subcontractor workers

from potential exposures, accidents, and incidences.

Proper safety signs, posters, and banners will be properly displayed and maintained in good

condition by the contractor and subcontractor wherever hazardous conditions exist. A sufficient

supply of safety signs, posters, and banners should also be kept on hand for placement,

replacement, and to warn of new job site exposures and hazards.

Additional signage requirements by contractors and subcontractors are found in the Federal

Occupational Safety and Health Act, Construction Standards. Such signage requirements

include, but are not limited to: Lasers, Powdered Actuated Tools, Overhead Hazards, etc.

84

34.0 Scaffolding


The utilization of scaffolding by various trades can be considered very dangerous and represents

a high risk of exposure to workers erecting/dismantling, working off of scaffolding, working

below scaffolding, etc.. Due to this exposure, extreme caution must be taken by all trades

utilizing the various forms of scaffolding that is available on the market place.

34.2 Scaffold Permit

Prior to the erection of any scaffolding, a “Scaffold Permit” must be completed by the

subcontractor erecting the scaffolding and submitted to the Project Safety Manager for approval

and authorization.

34.3 Scaffold Tag System

Upon erection of the scaffold, the subcontractor will utilize the following “Scaffold Tag System” for all scaffolding:

Red Tag - DO NOT USE: this tag is used to prohibit use of the scaffold during installation, alteration or dismantlement except by the erecting crew performing work.

Green Tag - APPROVED FOR USE: this tag is used when the scaffold is erected to

comply with OSHA Standards and all project safety policies and procedures. The subcontractors Competent Person, in conjunction with the subcontractor’s foreman is responsible for inspecting the scaffolding daily and documenting the inspection. Red Tag’s and Green Tag’s must be secured to the scaffolding and displayed daily as documentation that the scaffolding is in service or out of service and inspected daily to ensure safety compliance.

34.4 Procedures

The following rules are required during the erection and use of scaffolds by all Contractors:

• A Preplanning Meeting will be conducted prior to the erection and dismantling of all scaffolding on the project. Attendee’s will consist of the contractor/subcontractor foremen and competent person, and designated Turner safety representatives.

• All scaffolds are to be erected and dismantled under the supervision of a Competent Person.

• All rolling scaffolds shall have the wheels locked while the scaffold is in use.

• Tubular welded rolling scaffolds require a horizontal/diagonal brace.


85

• All rolling scaffolds shall be fully planked while in use and guardrails with toe boards in place when the scaffold reaches a height of 6-feet.

• Baker style scaffolds shall have proper guard rails with toe boards when next to shaft openings and/or windows at all times regardless of the scaffold platform height from the floor.

• Properly secured ladder access shall be provided for all scaffolds. Maximum ladder climb is limited to 20’. Access beyond 20’ must be provided by stairway towers, staggered ladder arrangements, or other acceptable methods which reduce workers fall exposures.

• Cross bracing does not take the place of a guardrail. Top and mid rails must be installed.

• End rails shall be part of the guardrail system on all scaffolds.

• Scaffolds shall be secured to the structure when the scaffold height is four times the minimum base dimension and every 26 feet thereafter.

• Independent lifelines for each worker on a swing scaffold are required. They shall be secured to a firm anchorage point separate from the scaffold anchorage.

• Scaffolds higher than four times its least base dimension shall be tied off to a structure or use outriggers.

• Scaffolds shall be constructed on a firm, stable base. If scaffolds shall be constructed on soft ground, proper mudsills shall be used.

• Never erect a scaffold without a base using screw jacks and sole plate. Never put an open pipe end directly on concrete, a wood support, asphalt paving or soil, as it may shift during use.

• Fall protection shall be provided at all heights above 6-foot regardless of the type of scaffold. Note: Handrails will be installed on all baker scaffolding when greater then 4’ in height.

• Workers removing guardrails are responsible for replacement of the guardrails.

• Fall protection must be provided for erecting and disassembling scaffolding.

• Contractors will paint out with high visibility paint all door / window braces so they are distinguished from the scaffolding / outrigger planks

• Scaffolding will be inspected prior to use on each shift and documented by the Contractor’s designated Competent Person. Inspection logs will be secured to the scaffolding to ensure daily inspection are being conducted.

• All planking shall be 2” (nominal) selected for scaffold plank use as recognized by grading rules approved by American Lumber Standards for the species of wood used. The maximum permissible spans for 2” x 10” (nominal) or 2” x 9” (rough) planks are as follows:


86

WORKING LOAD PERMISSIBLE SPAN

1bs./SF feet

25 10 50 8 75 7

The maximum permissible span for 1-1/4” x 9” or wider plank of full thickness is 4’ with medium loading of 50 lbs. per sq. ft.

Platform planks shall be laid with no openings more than 1” between adjacent planks or scaffold members.

All planks or platforms in a continuous run shall be overlapped (minimum 12”) or secured from movement.

Wood scaffold planks, unless cleated or otherwise restrained at both ends, shall extend over their end supports not less than 6” or more than 12”.

The use of commercially available aluminum and wood walk boards with positive locking devices are recommended.

Engineered scaffold systems may have plank lengths that exceed the above table. Note: The table is taken from the non-mandatory Appendix of Subpart L.


87

35.0 Spray on Fireproofing


Spray-on Fireproofing Operations can create a number of safety, health, and environmental

hazards if not carefully managed.

Blowing wind may further aggravate the hazards from over spray and fall-out of spray-on

fireproofing.

The following shall be required to keep potential hazards to a minimum:

• Contractors who spray and mix fireproofing material shall wear NIOSH approved respirators for toxic and nuisance dusts.

• Other trades shall be kept out of the areas being sprayed by erecting tape barricades and posting warning signs.

• Floors shall be cleaned of spray fall-out as it accumulates and placed in bags or in closed containers by the Contractor.

• When fireproofing is completed in an area or on a floor, the material shall be completely removed from the floor before the over spray protection is removed.

• All fireproofing material that has collected on or in the over spray protection shall be completely removed as the protection is removed. No material shall be allowed to fall outside of the building or left on the floor.

• Dust created by dumping dried bagged material into the mixer shall be controlled.

• Empty bags shall be neatly stacked and tied. No dried material shall be allowed to contaminate the area.

• All holes, recessions, etc. where floors are covered with plastic, tarps, etc. must be covered in accordance to the floor and roof opening cover requirements outlined in this manual.

To contain over spray, exteriors shall be enclosed. To avoid disturbing fireproofing on exterior

columns and spandrel beams, considerable care shall be taken when removing protection. It is

recommended that plastic tarpaulins be used, as the spray fireproofing will not stick to this

material.

Special care shall be taken to minimize over spray from the cementitous spray-on fireproofing on

floors and platforms to avoid causing exceedingly slippery conditions. The Contractor is solely

responsible to keep the spray on fireproofing work area cleaned up on a continuous daily basis.


88

36.0 Traffic Control, Parking, Workers Transportation


When operations are such that signs, signals, and barricades do not provide necessary protection

to workers or the general public on or adjacent to a highway, street, pedestrians crosswalks,

sidewalk, parking lot, etc., a flag person(s), or other appropriate traffic controls will be provided

by the contractor or subcontractor.

Every effort will be made by contractors and subcontractors to perform work on site, load /

unload material / equipment on site, etc.. If job site conditions dictate off site work, loading, and

unloading, the contractor and subcontractor is responsible for all traffic control and must provide

qualified workers trained in traffic control.

36.2 Traffic Control

All signaling directions by the flag person(s) shall conform to American National Institute D6.1-

1971. Hand signaling by flag person(s) will use red flags at least 18 inches square, sign paddles,

stop signs, etc.. If warranted, walkie talkies or other forms of communication will be utilized.

Flag person(s) for traffic control will wear high visibility vest or tee shirts while flagging. If

traffic control is performed in the early morning, late evening, during the night, on overcast or

rainy days, etc., the high visibility vest or tee shirt must be reflective.

36.3 Contractor Parking

Contractor and subcontractor workers will only park in authorized designated areas. Parking on

the jobsite is prohibited and unauthorized vehicles may be subject to towing at the vehicle

owners expense.

Furthermore, any damage to any vehicle(s) parked on the jobsite will be the sole responsibility of

the worker(s) and/or the contractor/subcontractor. Turner does not accept any liability for any

vehicles on the project.

36.4 Workers Transportation

Turner is not responsibility for the transportation of workers to and from the project. Contractor

and subcontractor providing transportation for workers must comply with all federal and state

laws.

Contractors working around underground power lines, gas lines, water lines, fiber optic lines,

etc. and overhead power lines, phone lines, fiber optic lines, etc shall comply with the following

safety procedures to avoid disruption to utility services, damage to overhead / underground

utilities lines, worker / personal injuries, disruption of services resulting in business interruption

claims, etc.

37.2 Underground Utilities

Prior to any type of excavating, trenching, drilling, pier hole drilling, post or pile driving, footing

trenches, or any other kind of digging on the project, the contractor will notify Turner, complete

an Excavation / Trenching Permit, and contact the State “One Call” or local utility company for

identifying and marking all underground utility locations prior to initiating any underground

work on the project.

Kansas: 1-800-DIG-SAFE (344-7233) National Hotline: 811

Missouri: 1-800-DIG-RITE (344-7483)

At no time will underground work be permitted on the project until ALL underground utility

locations have been clearly identified (location and depth) and properly marked.

In conjunction with the initial marking of underground utility lines, it is also the contractor’s

responsibility to maintain proper markings at all times:

• Utility marking shall not be allowed to deteriorate to the point that the utility location is

uncertain. If deteriorated, utility location shall be re-marked or utility location potholed

to determine exact location and depth.

• Utility marking disturbed, destroyed or otherwise rendered unreliable (ie: Surface soil

with markings was excavated for flat work) shall be re-marked or utility location

potholed to determine exact location.

Contractors working around underground utilities are required to address the location, depth, and

specific procedures for conducting operations at the Daily Safety Pre-task Planning Meeting with

all workers involved in the work task.

After all underground utilities are clearly identified and marked; the contractor performing the

work will photograph all utilities markings for all locations from all angles.


90

When work approaches the location of marked underground installations, the exact location of

the installations shall be determined by hand digging within 3 feet of the anticipated location of

the utility. Other acceptable means for locating utilities include the utilization of a vac truck.

Under no circumstances will earth moving equipment (ie: front end loaders, back hoes, etc) be

utilized within 3’ of the utilities for locating the exact location and depth of the line.

While the excavation is open, underground installations shall be protected, supported, or

removed as necessary to safeguard workers and the general public.

Any damage to any utility is to be reported immediately to Turner Construction Company, and

is the sole responsibility of the damaging contractor and/or subcontractor.

37.3 Overhead Power Lines

Prior to working underneath or adjacent (< 20’) to overhead power lines or other overhead

utilities (ie: cable lines, phone lines, etc), the contractor will contact Turner so a preplanning

meeting can be conducted to discuss operations and safety requirements.

It shall be the responsibility of the contractor performing work underneath or adjacent to

overhead electrical power lines, phone lines, cable lines, etc to protect workers and equipment

from coming in contact with the utility lines. Protection should include, but not limited to one or

a combination of the following: de-energize lines, blanketed lines, ground monitors, warning

signs or flag lines, train workers, or any other means necessary to protect workers and

equipment. See Section 37 for additional specifics.

Contractors working around overhead utilities are required to address specific procedures for

conducting operations at the Daily Safety Pre-task Planning Meeting with all workers involved

in the work task.


91

38.0 First Aid / CPR


All contractors and subcontractors shall have at least one certified person in First Aid and CPR

assigned to the job site. Contractors and subcontractors are also responsible for updated training

of certified persons to ensure current certification is maintained throughout the duration of the

project while their working on site.

Contractors and subcontractors will maintain on site an OSHA compliance first aid kit in

accordance to OSHA 29 1926.50 and 1926.50 Appendix A Standards. Contractors and

subcontractors are also responsible for ensuring the first aid kit is properly stocked and

maintained, and inspected weekly with documentation per OSHA requirements. See

attachments.

The first aid kit should also contain an infection control kit which is Bloodborne Pathogen

compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 standard. In conjunction with this kit, persons should

be trained and certified in Bloodborne Pathogens in accordance to the reference standard.

Only certified and trained first aid personnel shall administer first aid at the job site. All first aid

treatments are to be documented on a “Jobsite First-Aid Log” maintained by the contractor or

subcontractor rendering first aid treatment. See attachments.

If treatment extends beyond first aid treatment, designated medical clinics and hospital have been

established for treating injured workers. If contractors or subcontractors fail to utilize these

jobsite designated medical clinics and hospitals for treatment of injured workers, fines could be

issued and / or workers may be responsible for the cost of medical treatment.


92

39.0 Bloodborne Pathogens


Bloodborne Pathogens are disease-causing organisms transmitted through contact with infected

blood and other bodily fluids. Diseases such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and

Hepatitis B are among the most common forms of bloodborne pathogens. Any exposure to an

infected individual’s body fluids may result in transmission of bloodborne pathogens, which

could lead to disease or death.

39.2 Requirements

When dealing with blood or other bodily fluids, Contractor workers are required to follow

Universal Precautions. According to the concept of Universal Precautions, all human blood and

other human body fluids are treated as if known to be infectious for HIV, Hepatitis B, and other

bloodborne pathogens.

All Contractors are required to make available to their workers rubber gloves rated at 5 microns

or less and resuscitation masks.

All Contractors certified first aid providers are required to wear disposable latex gloves and eye

protection while performing first aid on an injured individual. If rescue breathing or CPR is

performed, a resuscitation mask shall be provided by the Contractor for the protection of the

injured and the provider.

All blood spills shall be immediately contained and cleaned with an anti-viral solution, or by a

solution of bleach and water by the Contractor. (Unless local authorities prohibit such action)

Any material saturated with blood shall be considered Regulated Waste. This means liquid or

semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious materials; contaminated items that would release

blood or other potentially infectious materials in a liquid or semi-liquid state if compressed; and

items that are caked with dried blood or other potentially infectious materials. Discarded Band-

Aids and gauze containing small amounts of blood products are not considered regulated waste.

Disposal of all regulated waste shall be the responsibility of emergency medical personnel or the

Contractor of the injured worker.

39.3 Training

At least one of each Contractor’s onsite personnel shall be trained in First Aid and CPR, and they

shall also be trained in the decontamination of blood spills. Contractors are solely responsible

for this training.


93

40.0 Carbon Monoxide


Carbon monoxide is formed by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials such as

coke, oil, kerosene, gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, etc. It is flammable, highly toxic, non-

irritating, tasteless, odorless, and has a density similar to air. When inhaled it combines with the

hemoglobin’s in blood, excluding oxygen from the tissues, ultimately resulting in a variety of

symptoms leading up to possible asphyxia. Common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

are shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, muscular weakness, and nausea. Symptoms of high

level exposures are mental confusion, vomiting, loss of muscular coordination, loss of

consciousness, and possible death.

Temporary heaters and motorized equipment (i.e., pumps, welders, generators, bobcats, etc)

being used where people are working in confined, enclosed buildings, and/or depressed areas

produce the greatest carbon monoxide poisoning exposures and are prohibited on this project.

40.2 Contractor Testing Requirements

Use of any device such as temporary heaters, motorized equipment, etc permitted on the project

that discharge any products of combustion into an inside work area where an employee exposure

is possible, requires testing as defined below:

• Monitor the work area to determine the concentration of carbon monoxide at least three times during each 8-hour period. Monitoring shall be conducted with a UL approved monitoring device using a LEL / O2 /H2S / CO2 Four Gas Monitor.

• Monitor and test different points in the area at working / breathing heights of employees.

• Maintain a record of these tests noting the date, time, and result of each test. Provide the monitoring results to all affected employees within the work area if requested. Once the project is completed, the records will be archived as medical records along with all safety records with a copy provided to Turner Construction BU Safety Director or other designated Turner representative.

• Remove the workers from the area when the concentration of carbon monoxide reaches 20 PPM (.005%). Supplemental ventilation and reduction / elimination of the source shall be provided to reduce the concentration below 20 PPM before the workers are allowed to resume work in the area.

• Increase monitoring frequency to greater than 3 times per day when the concentration of carbon monoxide reaches a steady concentration of greater than 20 PPM in ambient air.

Use of Solid Fuel Salamanders - Contractor use of solid fuel salamanders is prohibited within

buildings and on scaffolds.


94

41.0 Confined Spaces


According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) the definition of

a confined space is one that by design has limited openings for entry and exit, and unfavorable

natural ventilation that could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants. On this project we

may create many temporary confined spaces by operating in areas prior to the permanent

ventilation system being installed. Hazardous confined spaces are divided into three main

categories:

41.1.1 Lack Of Oxygen

Normal air is 21% oxygen by volume. Should the percentage drop to near 17%, drowsiness and

impaired ability to think clearly occur. Anything below 12% causes unconsciousness.

41.1.2 Combustible Or Explosive

Any contaminant in a confined space creates the possibility of fire or explosion. Heat, static

electricity, etc. can cause ignition. Many gases are heavier than air and collect in the bottom of

pits, trenches, sewers, and rooms. Not only gases are a problem, dusts too can be explosive.

Many operations, particularly cutting and welding, create hazards in confined spaces since the

use of any combustible or explosive chemical in a confined space allows the buildup of dust and

vapor.

41.1.3 Toxic Atmosphere

We are all aware of the dangers of toxic substances in storage tanks; the less obvious are the

toxic situations you might find in construction. Toxic chemicals can be brought into confined

spaces. Welding, cutting, painting, etc. can raise the level of chemicals in a confined space to

hazardous levels. We shall recognize that confined space hazards exist in construction and are

not a problem confined to storage tanks, silos, etc.

41.2 Types of Confined Spaces

There are two (2) types of confined space:

• Non-Permit Confined Space

• Permit-Required Confined Space

41.2.1 Non-Permit Required Confined Space

An NPRCS is defined as any space that:

• Has a limited or restricted means for access and egress.


95

• Is large enough and configured in such a way that a worker can bodily enter and perform work.

• Is not designed for continuous occupancy.

• Does not pose a health or safety risk as described in permit-required confined space

Examples include but are not limited to non-energized HVAC equipment, certain trenches and

excavations. These shall be evaluated by the “competent person” in charge of the work who is

fully familiar with the standards relating to confined space.

41.2.2 Permit Required Confined Space

A PRCS is defined as any space that:

• Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere.

• Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant.

• Has an internal configuration that could trap or asphyxiate an entrant.

• Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.

Examples of this type of space include but are not limited to: caissons, tanks, vessels, and

underground piping and tunneling.

41.3 Requirements

Contractors are responsible for the following:

• Identify the Confined Space.

• Coordinate for shut off, lock out and tag out all energy sources and mechanical hazards.

• Verify ventilation or engineering controls of the confined space.

• Obtain test results of the atmosphere from the subcontractor.

• Verify rescue and fall protection requirements are being utilized

• Coordinate with the Turner project staff all requirements for the confined space operation.

• Inform the Turner Construction Company Superintendent of the “competent person” designated for the work.

• Submit their Confined Space Program to the Turner Construction Company Superintendent for review and approval.

• Atmosphere testing at start of work and after a distinctive break (i.e. lunch break).

• Coordinate for local rescue teams services and confirm they are trained in confined space entry/rescue.

• Have on site the fall protection, perimeter protection, signage and personal protective equipment necessary for working in a confined space.


96

• Mechanical and alternate means to evacuate personnel from the confined space.

41.3.1 Training

The Contractor or his designee, prior to performing any duties relating to permit-required

confined space, shall train entrants, attendants, rescuers and entry supervisors.

41.4 Recordkeeping

Copies of all Contractor atmosphere testing, entry logs, training, and any medical records shall

be given to Turner Construction Company for record retention.


97

42.0 Contaminated Spills


A contaminated spill is the introduction of undesirable element or substances into the ground that

may or may not impact the environment in a negative way. This can be caused by several sources

both past and present. Contamination refers to the impact of these sources in any amount and at

any degree below or above permissible levels for health and safety toward the environment or to

life. Hazardous means it has elevated above the permissible levels for health and safety toward

the environment and life and is regulated under government standards.

Turner Construction Company’s primary concern is to protect the workers and the environment

in the event of an incidental spill on this project.

42.2 Requirements of Contractors

• If a spill occurs at the project, the spill shall be isolated/contained to prevent contamination of the surrounding area, waterways, sewer systems or any other environmental impact.

• The contractor and/or subcontractor is responsible for all costs associated with the cleanup and disposal of the contaminated/hazardous materials.

• If a spill occurs, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical will provide the emergency information necessary to address the spill. Also, the emergency cleanup team will need a copy of the MSDS in order to begin the cleanup process.

• The Contractor shall immediately notify Turner Construction Company in the event of any spill.

42.3 Training

All Contractors shall have the appropriate trained workers assigned to the project that are capable

of handling spills. Whenever chemicals are brought on site the material safety data sheet shall be

reviewed with all personnel exposed to its usage

42.4 Recordkeeping

All Contractor records regarding spills shall copied and given Turner Construction Company for

filing


98

43.0 Hazard Communication


The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires that all employers with workers exposed

to hazardous chemicals at their worksite establish a hazard communication program. The

regulation is more commonly known as “HazCom” or the “Right to Know Law”. This program

shall transmit information to the workers about the hazardous chemicals they are, or may be,

exposed to at the site. This is accomplished by labels on containers, Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS), hazardous chemical jobsite survey, and training programs.

43.2 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's)

Contractors and subcontractors are responsible for obtaining and maintaining on-site a file of all

MSDS's available from distributors, manufacturers, and vendors. While all MSDS's may not be

uniform in appearance, they shall convey the same message:

• Identity of the product

• Known acute and chronic health effects

• Exposure Limits Threshold Limit Values (TLV's)

• If the product is a suspected carcinogen

• Personal protective equipment to be used

• Emergency and First-Aid Procedure

• Identification of the party responsible for the MSDS

• Target organ affected

Contractors and subcontractors shall ensure that an MSDS is obtained with each shipment of any

material on the hazard substance survey list. Should one not be obtained at that time, they shall

follow-up in writing to the parties involved to obtain one within 72 hours of the notification.

Current MSDS’s on file are acceptable. However, they must be within a 5-year time period.

43.3 Container Labeling

Contractors and subcontractors shall verify that all containers received for use are:

• Clearly labeled as to content

• Appropriate warnings are noted

• Names and addresses of the manufacturers are listed


99

A written description of the labeling system used by each subcontractor is required to be

submitted, along with alternatives to the original label used. All secondary containers used with

small quantities of a given material shall also be properly labeled.

Labels may be in writing, pictures, numerical system, or any combination of the above. The

message shall be understood as to the nature of the hazard, personal protective equipment

needed, parts of the body affected, and emergency procedures to take.

43.4 Worker Training and Education

Contractors and subcontractors are responsible for the training of their own workers in regards to

the Hazard Communication policy and program.

Training of all workers can include, but not limited to:

• In-house seminar

• Guest speakers

• Use of visual aides

• On-site updates of new products and materials and other related hazards

Instruction shall include, but not limited to:

• How to read and understand the information provided on the MSDS's and labels supplied by the subcontractors and suppliers

• An overview of the requirements contained in the Hazard Communication Standard

• Discussion of chemicals included in welding or burning, cement, cleaning solvents, gluing processes, wood dust processes, and other such common items

After attending the training session, each worker will sign a form to verify that they have been

properly trained with regards to the Hazard Communication Standard and that they understood

the project’s policy regarding this standard. The form is to be filed at the jobsite.

43.5 Hazardous Non-Routine Tasks

Periodically, workers are required to perform hazardous non-routine tasks. Prior to starting work

on such projects, each affected worker will be given information by the contractor and/or

subcontractor about hazardous chemicals to which they may be exposed during such activity.

The information shall include, but not limited to:

• Specific chemical or process hazards

• Protective/safety measures that the worker will take to prevent exposure

• Measures the project has taken to lesson the hazard including ventilation, respirators, presence of other workers, and emergency procedures


100

An example of non-routine tasks is confined space entry, i.e. checking the bottom of caissons,

entering manholes, etc.

43.6 Contractor Hazard Communication

All contractors, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors are solely responsible to abide by the

Hazard Communication Standard in regards to the training of their own worker, their MSDS

Recordkeeping, their notification procedures, and any other aspects of the requirement.

All contractors, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors are to supply the Turner Construction

Company Superintendent with a written copy of their Hazard Communication Program along

with MSDS’s of any chemical materials brought on to the jobsite.

43.7 Exchange of MSDS’s

The exchange of MSDS’s on this project shall take place initially when the contractor and

subcontractor comes onto the site, at site safety meetings, or at any other time designated by the

Turner Project Safety Manager or Project Superintendent.

All contractors, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors are to abide by this exchange and are to

immediately inform Turners Project Safety Manager and/or Project Superintendent of any new

chemical substances brought onto the jobsite.

43.8 Updating Inventory Listings

The updating of chemical inventory lists on the “Hazardous Chemical Inventory List” shall be

completed as new MSDS’s are received. Updated lists shall be exchanged at site safety meeting,

as new MSDS’s arrive, etc.. A master list shall be maintained by the contractor, subcontractor,

and/or Turner Construction Company office.

All contractors, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors are to abide by this updating exchange

and are to immediately inform Turners Project Safety Manager and/or Project Superintendent of

any new chemical substances brought onto the jobsite.


101



To protect contractor and/or subcontractor workers from harmful airborne substances (ie: dust,

fog, fumes, mists, gases, smoke, sprays, vapors, fibers, etc) contractors and/or subcontractors

will implement necessary safety and health controls to eliminate/reduce airborne substances.

This can be accomplished through engineering controls such as ventilation, substitution with a

less harmful substance, through administrative controls limiting the duration of exposure, etc.

When these methods are not adequate, or if the exposures are brief and intermittent, or simply to

minimize worker exposure to airborne substances, contractors are to provide respirators to allow

their workers to breathe safety in potentially hazardous environments.

We recognize that respirators have limitations and their successful use is dependent on an

effective respiratory protection program. Therefore, this project Respiratory Protection Program

is designed to be a supplemental guide for contractors and subcontractors to: identify, evaluate,

and control exposure to respiratory hazards; select/coordinate all aspects required for proper use,

care and maintenance of the equipment, etc. In all instances the contractor and/or subcontractor

is to abide by their own company Respiratory Protection Program.

44.2 Responsibility

Contractor and subcontractor management are responsible for complying with Federal OSHA

1910.134 and 1926.103 Respirator Standards in conjunction with effective implementation and

enforcement of their company’s Respiratory Protection Program and this project’s Respiratory

Protection Program while performing work on this project.

All workers are responsible for complying with their company’s Respiratory Protection Program

and this project’s Respiratory Protection Program.

44.3 Voluntary Respirator Use

Contractors and subcontractors permitting “Voluntary Respirator Use” of Filtering Face

respirators (ie: dust mask) by workers must comply with the following:

1) Provide the worker with a copy of OSHA 1910.134 Appendix D

a. Signed copy of the “Voluntary Respirator Use” form by the worker(s) must be maintained in a jobsite file and available upon request.

2) Ensure the use of the filtering face respirator does not create a health hazard

All other respirators would mandate full Respirator Protection Program compliance.


102

44.4 Workplace Exposure Assessment & Ongoing Surveillance

Contractors and subcontractors shall first complete an exposure assessment to identify harmful

airborne contaminants, their extent and magnitude, and how to control them.

Results of these evaluations will be summarized and a record maintained in the contractors

and/or subcontractors jobsite project files. Additional evaluations are necessary if exposures

change due to new materials, process changes or other conditions increasing the degree of

worker exposure or stress, and these evaluations will be added to the file.

Contractors and/or subcontractors may not perform any work with chemicals or material that

may cause a respirator hazard or nuisance odor for Turner workers, contractors/subcontractors

workers, or the general public without scheduling the work with Turner Construction. Examples

of such activities include applying hazardous paints, epoxies, sealants, cutting/grinding concrete

and/or concrete blocks, etc.

44.5 Respirator Selection

In instances where engineering and administrative means do not achieve the desired control, or

in the case of an emergency, respirators shall be worn by the worker(s) involved in the operation.

Different types of respirators are available for a variety of applications and contractors and/or

subcontractors shall ensure that the proper NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator is selected and

used for the kind of work being performed (or anticipated) and hazards involved. The contractor

and/or subcontractor is solely responsible for the proper selection of respirators for their workers.

44.6 Evaluating Respirator Wearer’s Health Status

Even with appropriate equipment and adequate training provided, a worker's health status shall

be considered before allowing respirator use. The wearer's physical and medical condition,

duration and difficulty of the tasks, toxicity of the contaminant, potential reduction in the

wearer’s field of vision, and type of respirator all affect a worker's ability to wear a respirator

while working. Therefore an evaluation of the worker's physical ability to wear a respirator must

be completed.

Each respirator candidate will be given a medical evaluation by the contractor’s and/or

subcontractors medical personnel. A Medical Evaluation and Work Restriction report as well as

a Respiratory Protection Notification form allowing use of a respirator is to be obtained for each

worker and kept on file at the contractors and/or subcontractors office.

44.7 Respirator Fit Testing & Assignment

After the contractor and/or subcontractor selects the appropriate type of respirator and certify

their worker's ability to work while wearing a respirator, they shall conduct a qualitative fit test


103

to choose the best fitting face piece and determine the specific brand, model and size for each

worker.

Qualitative fit testing and assignment will be performed by the contractors and/or subcontractors

or their designee qualified to perform the testing and at a minimum comply with the procedures

in Appendix C of the guide. A Qualitative Fit Test Record form indicating successful

completion of the test will be obtained from the firm providing the fit testing and filed at the

contractors and/or subcontractors jobsite field office.

44.8 Training

Once the contractors and/or subcontractors worker is fitted with the correct respirator for the

task, the contractor and/or subcontractor is to ensure the individual is thoroughly trained in the

need, use, limitations, inspection, fit checks, maintenance and storage of the equipment.

Detailed instructions for use and care of the respirator are provided by the manufacturer and

local regulations, with the equipment, and this information is to be used in the training.

44.9 Recordkeeping

The contractor and/or subcontractor will document each major component of their program to:

• Verify that each activity has occurred

• Evaluate the success of the program

• Satisfy regulatory requirements

These records include the written program, exposure determination, respirator selection, physical

status evaluation, fit testing and respirator assignment, training form, program assessment and

voluntary use of respiratory protection.

These records will remain as a permanent part of the contractors and/or subcontractors project

record system.


104

45.0 Silica Dust


Silica is the main component found in sand, quartz, and granite rock which are key components

in concrete, mortar, bricks, HCB’s, slate, dimensional stone (granite, sandstone), stone

aggregate, tile, sand for sand blasting, etc. Excessive amounts of silica dust may be generated

during activities such as: sandblasting, rock drilling, roof bolting, foundry work, stonecutting,

drilling, quarrying, brick / block / concrete cutting / grinding, gunite operations, lead-based paint

encapsulate applications, asphalt paving, cement products manufacturing, demolition operations,

hammering, chipping, and sweeping concrete or masonry dust.

Silica can cause silicosis, a serious and sometimes fatal respiratory disease. Silicosis develops

from breathing silica dust on the job. It occurs in direct proportion to the percentage and the

concentration of silica in the air and to the duration of exposure. The tiny hairs, mucous

membranes, and other protective mechanisms of your upper respiratory tract and bronchi stop

large silica particles, but the smallest dust particles (undetectable to the human eye) are carried

into your airways. These silica particles become lodged in the tiny air sacs of the lungs, which

can prohibit oxygen from getting into the blood.

Symptoms of silicosis can either be chronic; appearing after 5 to 10 years of being exposed to

invisible silica dust without using respiratory protection, or symptoms can be acute appearing

after only a few weeks of working in thick clouds of silica without respiratory protection. Early

stages of silicosis often go unnoticed but continued exposure may cause shortness of breath,

possible fever and sometimes-bluish earlobes or lips. Fatigue, extreme shortness of breath, loss

of appetite, and chest pain occur down the road. Respiratory failure can occur, which can cause

death.

45.2 Requirements

The following requirements are designed to protect all workers who may come in contact with

potential silica dust during the course of their work.

In order to determine whether a product contains silica, the Material Safety Data Sheet shall be

obtained and evaluated by the contractor and / or subcontractor. In the event silica is present in

the product(s), the following safe working procedures shall be followed to eliminate or control

silica dust exposure:

• Contractor and / or subcontractor shall initiate engineering controls as the primary means to eliminate or control the hazard.


105

• After working with products that contain silica, each worker will be required to thoroughly wash their hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Eating, drinking or smoking in / near silica regulated areas is strictly prohibited.

o Handwashing facilities consisting of clean water, non-alkaline soap, and clean towels must be provided. Hand sanitizers and wipes are unacceptable

o Handwashing facilities are in near proximity to the worksite and adequate for the number of exposed employee and the size of the job.

• Wet down dry materials and surfaces before cutting, chipping, grinding, sanding, sweeping, or cleaning in order to minimize airborne concentrations of silica dust.

o Sweeping: If wetting down is prohibited, then dry compound or vacuuming should be utilized

• All Stationary Block-Cutting operations and Handheld Masonry Saws operations shall be performed by the wet cut method. If wet cutting can not be implemented, then a Vacuum Dust Collection System (VDCS) will be utilized for collecting and minimizing airborne concentrations of silica dust.

o In conjunction with the VDCS, workers will be required to wear a properly fitted, NIOSH approved half face piece or disposable respirator equipped with an N-, R-, or P-95 filter. Note: A half-facepiece or disposable respirator can be used only for potential exposures up to 1.0 mg/m3.

• Power tools with built-in high efficient particulate air dust extraction to capture the dust before it is released into the air will be used.

• For abrasive blasting, silica sand will be substituted with safer materials. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health highly discourages the use of sand or any abrasive with more that 1% crystalline silica in it. Garnet, slags, and steel grit and shot may be suitable substitutes.


Dust masks or particulate respirators are the most common PPE respiratory protective measure.

However, as a minimum, a NIOSH approved half face piece respirator is highly recommended to

protect workers from possible silica dust exposures. Note: The type of respirator required will

depend upon the silica concentration levels and shall be determined by the contractor and / or

subcontractor.

45.4 Training

All workers working with silica containing products shall be properly trained when exposed to

potential silica dust, in silica dust controls, and the hazards of silica dust by the contractor and /

or subcontractor. Training shall consist of the following training programs:

1) The subcontractor / subcontractor “Company Safety Orientation”

2) Hazard Communication Program


106

3) Respiratory Protection Program

All workers performing tasks involving sanding, chipping, grinding, scraping, cutting, crushing

or drilling are required to be trained in the proper use of such tools, in addition to the proper

methods of reducing or eliminating silica dust.

If PPE is required and / or utilized by workers, compliance to Federal OSHA 1926.103 is

mandated in conjunction with the contractor and / or subcontractor Respirator Protection

Program, and Turners Respiratory Protection Program. All contractors and / or subcontractors

are solely responsible for all training and all cost associated with the training.

45.5 Recordkeeping

The following recordkeeping requirements are mandatory:

• All training of workers in reference to silica dust will be documented with the signatures of all workers who attended the training. A copy of the documentation will be submitted to Turner for their project records.

Contractor and / or subcontractor training needs are to be updated on an annual basis or as warranted.

• All Air Test Samples and Results conducted by the contractor and / or subcontractor or other representatives will be documented to confirm that controls in place are adequate in eliminating / controlling workers exposure to silica dust. A copy of all documentation will be submitted to Turner for their project records.

• All Air Test Samples and Results will be maintained by the contractor and / or subcontractor as part of the worker(s) medical records.

• Historical Data confirming that the controls implemented by the contractor and / or subcontractor will be submitted to Turner upon request.


107

46.0 Substance Abuse Program (Revised January 2008)

46.1 Purpose

To help ensure a safe, healthy, and productive workplace, Turner Construction Company

has adopted a policy of maintaining a workplace free of drugs and alcohol. This policy

restricts certain items and substances from being brought onto, or being present on Turner

premises or projects. Turner Construction also prohibits individuals from reporting to

work or working under the influence of illegal drugs, alcohol, and other controlled

substances which may affect their ability to perform work safely.

All individuals or agents of subcontractors hired to perform work under any Turner

contract or in any facility will be required to participate in a substance abuse test

administered by Turner prior to commencing work. The current approved vendor list is

available from your Regional Safety Director.

Any individual who feels that he or she has a drug or alcohol related problem is

encouraged to seek professional help. An individual’s employer will refer anyone

voluntarily seeking such help to professional assistance and any such action shall be kept

strictly confidential.

This policy is non-discriminatory and applies equally to all individuals, management

personnel, Turner hourly craft, and temporary personnel working with Turner

Construction.


This policy applies to Turner employees, subcontractors, consultants, construction

managers, or others working at a Turner project where Turner holds the subcontracts

and/or Turner is contractually obligated to implement said program. This program does

not apply to projects whereby Turner does not hold subcontracts and/or there is no

contractual obligation to do so. This program always applies to Turner employees

regardless of contractual obligation.

This policy includes pre-employment, post- incident, reasonable suspicion, re-

employment, random testing, searches and investigations to the extent permissible by

law.

46.3 Rules

Possessing, soliciting, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, and/or the use of


108

illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, unauthorized controlled substances, illegal use of

legal drugs, and other intoxicants on or in any project or at any facility is prohibited

and may result in disciplinary action up to and including removal/barring of the

individual from Turner Construction projects or sit es.

Reporting to and being at work under the influence of illegal drugs or unauthorized

controlled substances is prohibited. Reporting to and being under the influence of alcohol

or other legal intoxicant that can adversely affect the individual’s performance or the

safety of the individual or those surrounding the individual is also prohibited. Violation

of this rule may result in disciplinary action up to and including removal/barring of the

individual from Turner Construction projects or sites.

Legally prescribed drugs may be permitted provided that the drugs are prescribed to the

individual by an authorized medical practitioner for current use by the individual.

Reporting to and being at work under the influence of prescribed or over-the-counter

drug, where such use prevents the individual from performing the duties of the job, or

poses a safety risk to the individual and/or other individuals or property is prohibited.

Anyone taking a prescription or over-the-counter drug is personally responsible for

confirming with their physician that they may safely perform any job duties while taking

such items. Individuals taking a legal substance that could impair their safe work must

advise their immediate supervisor, who may assign the individual to non-hazardous

duties or send them home. Anyone failing to notify their supervisor at the start of their

work shift may result in disciplinary actions up to and including removal/barring of the

individual from Turner Construction projects or sites.

46.4 Testing Requirements

An individual, to the extent consistent with applicable federal, state and local laws, will

be required to undergo a screening test for the use of illegal and non-prescription drugs,

alcohol or other substances under any of the following or other circumstances which may

be determined by Turner management under this policy:

• Pre-Employment Screening • Post Incident Screening • Reasonable Suspicion • Re-employment or re-admission to a Project or Facility • As specified by Turner /Owner contracts • Random Screening

Workers will be permitted on site based on meeting the following requirements:


109

• Anyone who has submitted to and passed a Turner Administrated Drug Test

within the past year may present his or her certified results in lieu of taking a pre-

employment test.

• In the event that an individual has submitted to and passed a Non-Turner

Administered Drug Test within the last year, they may submit their certified

results only if their company’s substance abuse testing policy has been pre-

approved by Turner.

• Workers with CISAP card (Construction Industry Substance Abuse Program – A

substance abuse and alcohol testing program for unions and union contractors)

from the following unions will be permitted on site:

• TBD

46.5 Testing Procedures

1) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

approved protocols will be followed. At a minimum, specimens will be analyzed

for the presence of the following:

• Cannabinoids (Marijuana) • Cocaine • Opiates • Amphetamines • Methamphetamines • Phencyclidine

2) In general, donors will be permitted to give a urine specimen in privacy and

without being observed by collection site personnel. However, a donor forfeits

this right whenever there is a reasonable suspicion that he/she may alter or

substitute a specimen.

3) Substance abuse screening, including alcohol testing, may be performed on site. A

SAMHSA approved laboratory will confirm on-site screens that test non-negative.

Before a donor’s test result is confirmed as positive for drugs or alcohol, the

donor will be given the opportunity to speak with a Medical Review Officer

(MRO) and bear the burden of proof that there was a legitimate medical

explanation for the positive test result. If the MRO determines that a legitimate

medical reason does exist, the test result will be reported as “negative”. If the

MRO determines that a legitimate medical reason does not exist, the test result

will be reported as a “confirmed positive”. Since the substance abuse screening

program is first and foremost a safety program, the “pending” individual


110

will not be allowed on-site until this process is complete.

4) No individual search, drug test, or alcohol test will be conducted without the

individual’s consent. Refusal to give consent shall be cause for removal/barring

from the project or site.

5) On site drug tests will be completed using EZ Cup brand or alternate approved

testing method. Alternative methods will not be used with out prior written

approval by the Regional Safety Director.

6) A Department of Transportation (DOT) approved saliva testing device or "hand

held" Breathalyzer unit or equivalent device, similar to those used by law

enforcement for field sobriety tests, will be used for the alcohol screen.

7) Diluted samples occur when an applicant drinks large amounts of fluids before the

drug test, or adds water to their specimen so that it is harder to detect drug abuse.

Applicants may innocently drink too many fluids before the drug test in order to

be able to give a sample. This can be avoided by telling the donor not to drink

more than 24 ounces within three (3) hours of the drug test. It is the responsibility

of the donor to provide Turner with an undiluted sample that can be tested.

Turner’s policy on diluted specimens is to retest the donor one additional time.

Ideally, they should be retested within 24 hours of receiving the results from the

MRO, but no later than 48 hours. If the donor has provided a second dilute

sample, the MRO will conduct a medical interview with the donor. During the

interview process, if it is determined that there is no legitimate medical reason;

the donor’s test will be treated as positive.

8) A “confirmed positive" substance abuse test shall mean that the verified results

are above standard cut-off levels and that there is not a medically valid reason for

the result. A confirmed "positive" alcohol test result shall mean alcohol levels are

officially recognized as demonstrating alcohol intoxication at or in excess of 0.02

(DOT Standard).

9) Any individual who tests positive for drugs or alcohol, and who believes the test

results are incorrect, may request a retest of the original specimen at his/her own

cost within 24 hours. An equally qualified laboratory shall perform the retest. If

the retest is negative, a third test of the original split specimen shall be completed

by a third laboratory to confirm or deny the previous test results. A toxicologist

and MRO will review all data for a final determination. If it is determined that the


111

initial confirmation screen was incorrect, the individual shall be allowed to

resume work. If the confirmation screen for alcohol and/or drugs is negative,

their immediate employer shall pay the individual for any lost time that may have

occurred.

46.6 Searches

Turner reserves the right to search any person entering any project or any facility and to

search any property, equipment and storage areas for illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia,

unauthorized controlled substances, alcohol or other intoxicants to the extent permissible

by law. Turner may have the subcontractor complete the search(s) of the individual or

their property. This shall include, but is not limited to, clothing, personal effects,

vehicles, buildings, plant facilities, offices, parking lots, desks, cabinets, lockers, closets,

lunch and toolboxes, and equipment.

46.7 Refusal

Any individual who refuses to submit to a drug or alcohol screening test, or if their

sample was adulterated or substituted as determined by the MRO, will be considered

ineligible to work and will be removed from all Turner projects indefinitely. Any

individual refusing to submit to a search will be denied access to or will be asked to

immediately leave any work site or Company property, and his or her employer shall be

notified of such action.

46.8 Cost of Testing

If an individual is requested to submit to a substance abuse test, the cost of that test and

the confirmatory test of the same specimen will be paid by the individual’s employer

through contract agreements. This does not apply to the retest of the original specimen if

the donor feels that his or her specimen was tested in error. Such costs for retesting of the

donor’s original split sample will be borne by the donor.

46.9 Notification of Authorities

Turner Construction will report information concerning possession, or distribution of any

illegal drugs or unauthorized controlled substances to law enforcement officials, and will

turn over to the custody of law enforcement officials any such substances found during a

search. Turner will cooperate fully in the prosecution and/or conviction of any violators

of the law.


112

46.10 Individuals Convicted of Drug Offenses In accordance with federal law H.R. 5210, “The Drug Free Workplace Act Of 1988” each

individual must, as a condition of continued employment on a federal contract or grant

notify his or her employer of any conviction of a criminal drug offense within five (5)

days after said conviction. If an employer is notified, then that employer shall notify the

Turner Operations Manager immediately. Turner will notify the Federal Contracting

Agency of criminal drug convictions within 30 days after Turner has received notice.

Any individual so convicted must satisfactorily complete an approved drug rehabilitation

program and agree to periodic testing any time thereafter before re-employment or

barring is lifted and will be considered. Failure of a contractor or Turner employee to

report such a conviction and/or participate in a drug rehabilitation program may result in

disciplinary action up to and including removal and barring from Turner projects or sites.

46.11 Cooperation with Turner All individuals, as a condition of continued employment with Turner or on a Turner

project, have an obligation to cooperate with any investigation concerning compliance or

enforcement of this policy. Failure to cooperate with any such investigation may result in

disciplinary action up to and including removal and barring from Turner projects or sites.

46.12 Penalties All individuals will be removed and barred from Turner Construction work sites for

possession, use, or distribution of alcohol, illegal drugs, unauthorized controlled

substances, or drug paraphernalia.

1) Turner employees who are found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to Turner corporate guidelines.

2) Individuals who are terminated from working with or at a Turner project or at any facility subsequent to a positive test may be returned to work only if the certain criteria are met. In all cases, there is no guarantee of reemployment on a Turner project or site.

3) If an individual voluntarily asks for help prior to being tested, that individual will be required to comply with their employer’s Employee Assistance Program prior to commencing work on a Turner Project. The individual’s employer must submit confirmation of completion to Turner.

4) If discovered by actions and/or testing, an individual for subcontractors, suppliers, etc. will be barred from entering Turner Construction property with notice being sent to their employer.

An individual who enters a formal inpatient rehabilitation facility, completes the program

under the direction of the MRO, becomes drug and/or alcohol free and agrees to periodic


113

random testing to confirm this, may be eligible for reemployment on a Turner project or

site. No guarantees are given or implied.

46.13 Confidentiality All substance abuse testing will be performed with concern for each individual’s personal

privacy, dignity, and confidentiality. Each individual will be required to sign a consent

and chain of custody form, assuring proper documentation and accuracy. Individuals

shall have the right to a copy of their screen results within the reasonable amount of time

it takes to retrieve them. All actions taken under this policy and program will be

confidential and disclosed to only those with a need to know.

Voluntary Respirator Use

Part Number: 1910

• Part Title: Occupational Safety and Health Standards • Subpart: I • Subpart Title: Personal Protective Equipment • Standard Number: 1910.134 App D • Title: (Mandatory) Information for Employees Using Respirators When

Required Under Standard.

Appendix D to Sec. 1910.134 (Mandatory) Information for Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Under the Standard Respirators are an effective method of protection against designated hazards when properly selected and worn. Respirator use is encouraged, even when exposures are below the exposure limit, to provide an additional level of comfort and protection for workers. However, if a respirator is used improperly or not kept clean, the respirator itself can become a hazard to the worker. Sometimes, workers may wear respirators to avoid exposures to hazards, even if the amount of hazardous substance does not exceed the limits set by OSHA standards. If your employer provides respirators for your voluntary use, or if you provide your own respirator, you need to take certain precautions to be sure that the respirator itself does not present a hazard. You should do the following: 1. Read and heed all instructions provided by the manufacturer on use, maintenance, cleaning and care, and warnings regarding the respirators limitations. 2. Choose respirators certified for use to protect against the contaminant of concern. NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, certifies respirators. A label or statement of certification should appear on the respirator or respirator packaging. It will tell you what the respirator is designed for and how much it will protect you. 3. Do not wear your respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants for which your respirator is not designed to protect against. For example, a respirator designed to filter dust particles will not protect you against gases, vapors, or very small solid particles of fumes or smoke. 4. Keep track of your respirator so that you do not mistakenly use someone else's respirator.
