F. Job Site Inspections
Safety inspections are among the oldest accident prevention methods, and they
constitute an integral part of an effective safety program. When conducted properly,
they reveal unsafe acts and conditions that lead to accidents. Frequent informal
19
inspections and follow-up to correct noted deficiencies are essential for the smooth
operation of a construction project.
The Project Superintendent will conduct routine inspections and institute
corrective actions for unsafe acts and/or unsafe conditions using the Stop &
Shop/Giant Job Site Safety Inspection Form (See Appendix A).
The Stop & Shop / Giant Project Manager will report any unsafe acts/conditions,
as he reviews them during his visits to the job, to the Project Superintendent.
The Construction Safety Manager will visit the job and provide inspections and
reports to the Stop & Shop/Giant Project Manager and Project Superintendent on
a scheduled or as-needed basis.
Stop & Shop/Giant Project Management personnel will assist in pointing out
safety concerns during job site visits.
OSHA compliance officers visit construction sites normally without notice.
OSHA’s representative will be received with courtesy. If an OSHA inspection
results from an employee complaint, then the inspection should be limited to the
scope of the complaint and not a wall-to-wall inspection.
Subcontractors must conduct routine inspections of the job site and will notify the
Project Superintendent of all hazardous or unsafe conditions that may exist.
Stop & Shop’s/ Giant’s safety representatives will inspect the project periodically.
Their recommendations shall be responded to immediately.
F. Stop & Shop / Giant Project Manager – CM - Subcontractor Meetings
These meetings afford the opportunity to discuss safety issues, both for ongoing
construction activities and planning for upcoming activities. General safety
discussions should be the first issue on the meeting agenda. Copy the Manager of
Construction Safety only when items regarding safety are discussed.
A suggested list of topics should include:
1. Weekly Injury Report
2. Outstanding safety items from the previous week’s report.
3. Review and discussion of safety and inspection reports.
4. Actions to be taken to correct substandard conditions.
5. Anticipated hazards as foreseen in the construction schedule.
20
6. Subcontractor injury trends.
7. Subcontractor compliance experience.
8. Project safety performance.
G. Protection of the Public and Non-Project Property
A construction site should not have to be a dangerous condition to the general
public living, working or traveling in the vicinity, nor should it be a liability to
adjacent non-project property. In anticipation of these hazards, the GC/CM will
provide for the following:
1. Notification and pre-planning with public officials, utility companies and
adjacent property owners, as the need requires.
2. Design and install temporary protection to suit the needs for both inside
and outside of the surroundings in the work area and site location. Lights,
signs, fences, barricades, spotter, and traffic control are some of the
requirements for protection. Windblown flying debris, falling objects,
water, dust and welding sparks are some of the hazards requiring controls.
3. Maintain and change protection as required during the ongoing process,
changing of job site conditions and during phases of site logistics plan.
4. Leave the job site secure to prevent off-hours injury to the general public
and property by the use of fencing and guards.
5. Take all reasonable steps to limit the “attractive nuisance” that
construction sites create.
6. Meet with Stop & Shop/Giant, local officials, and insurance
representatives at the start of the project to discuss job site safety as it
relates to the surrounding areas.
H. Job Site Security
Security of people and property must be considered and planned prior to the start of
construction. Loss prevention of equipment, supplies or in-place construction by theft or
vandalism is vital to the success of the job.
The need and degree of security must be judged and designed by the GC/CM and Stop &
Shop/Giant Project Manager to fit the job site and its neighborhood. The following is a
checklist meant to meet most job needs:
21
1. Provide full time or off-hours guard service.
2. Fence in the site or construction area when practicable.
3. Provided lighted areas at office trailers, storage trailers and other material
storage areas at night.
4. Post signs with company name and emergency telephone number for
emergencies.
5. Post signs requiring hard hats and eye protection at all times and any other
signs appropriate to the security of the site.
6. Notify and/or meet with the local police. Request overnight roving checks
by on-duty police officers. Leave names and numbers for emergency
purposes.
7. Place trailers in locations with security in mind.
8. Inventory valuable tools and equipment on site whether it is construction
or office type equipment. Include description and appropriate serial
numbers.
9. Designate parking areas for construction workers.
10. Determine that food service vehicles have liability insurance, as well as
providing Stop & Shop/Giant with a valid Certificate of Insurance, if they
are going to drive on site to serve workers.
11. Provide and maintain traffic control for trucks and equipment moving on
and off site as required.
12. Identify and protect underground transmission facilities and utilities.
13. Promote a “good neighbor” policy with the neighbors, police, fire
department and other interested parties having influence around the site.
14. Access to the site is via designated entrances only.
15. Each worker shall be provided with a hardhat sticker upon completion of
Stop & Shop Safety Orientation Training.
16. The responsible contractor shall escort vendors of subcontractors while on
site. PPE requirements apply to all vendors.
22
17. Possession of firearms, fireworks, illegal drugs or alcohol is strictly
forbidden on site. Failure to comply will result in access permanently
denied to the offending individual(s).
18. Horseplay or harassment will also result in removal or dismissal from the
project, upon investigation and confirmation.
III. Emergency & Medical Services
A. Emergency Evacuation Action Plan
The purpose of the Stop & Shop / Giant Project Emergency Evacuation Action
Plan is to safely evacuate all employees and visitors from the job site. The intent
will be accomplished by identifying the safest and quickest avenues of escape.
This Emergency Action/Evacuation Plan is developed to be in compliance with
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.35, Employee Emergency Plans.
In the event of a fire, building collapse, community emergency, a natural disaster
(lightning storm, hurricane, snow storm) and medical emergency, building
diagrams with written directions shall be posted in all employee areas, such as
bulletin boards, office trailers, employee break rooms, and in the stairwells of the
constructed buildings. The plan shall be further discussed in New Employee
Orientation, during Hazard Communication Training, and during subcontractor
“Tool Box Talks”.
Emergency Evacuation Procedures
In the event of a fire, building collapse, community emergency, medical
emergency or a natural disaster (lightning storm, hurricane, snow storm), the
Project Superintendent or his designee will announce an on-site emergency. The
evacuation signal will be sounded via an air horn.
The air horn signal will be a series of 9 blasts. 3 blasts in duration of 3 seconds
each, followed by a 10 second break, then another 3 blasts, a break and finally 3
blasts for a total of 9.
When the evacuation signal is sounded, Stop & Shop/Giant will require that all
subcontractor employees and any site visitors evacuate the job site. The
designated rally point will be in the front of the store in the parking lot.
Construction Management Responsibilities
The Project Superintendent will be in charge of the construction site until
relieved by civil authority (police/ fire).
23
The Project Superintendent will have all subcontractors perform head counts
of their personnel on site and relay their head counts back to the Project
Superintendent.
It is the policy of Stop & Shop/Giant to close all gates to everyone except civil
authorities and emergency personnel.
Stop & Shop/Giant Project Manager will assist the Project Superintendent in
coordinating access to the job site by providing direction to outside civil
authority (police/fire/rescue).
Stop & Shop/Giant Project Manager will act as liaison between the Project
Superintendent and arriving civil authorities via telephone service/radio.
Subcontractor Responsibilities
Stop all types of work activities, such as hot work, confined space entry and
heavy equipment operations. Turn off all running equipment, including
welding, compressors, generators and any earth moving equipment.
Evacuate to the designated rally point. Do not run while evacuating.
Restrict the use of phones and radios to emergency use only.
The Project Superintendent will contact the Stop & Shop/Giant Project
Manager and Manager of Construction Safety.
Subcontractors shall assist local authorities as directed by the Project
Superintendent.
Visitors
All visitors should sign in at the office trailer and attend a Project Safety Briefing,
before being allowed entry. During the briefing, the Site Evacuation Plan will be
discussed in detail.
B. Medical Emergencies:
Each subcontractor is required to have a first aid kit immediately available for
first aid treatment. If an employee should sustain a minor injury requiring first
aid treatment in the performance of his assigned work and the subcontractor
does not have a first aid kit on site, then the GC/ CM will provide a first aid
kit in the office trailer. The employee is required to report all injuries no
matter how minor in nature.
In the event that an employee’s injury requires immediate emergency
attention, the employer is responsible for providing a trained emergency
medical responder to provide first aid/CPR. In the event that the subcontractor
does not have anyone properly trained, the GC/CM will provide emergency
first aid services through a trained individual, pending arrival of outside
emergency personnel.
24
The Project Superintendent will contact outside emergency services. All work
in the vicinity of the injury must stop. The Project Superintendent will meet
and direct outside emergency services to the injured party.
C. Fire Emergency
A fire watch, supplied by the subcontractor, with an appropriately rated fire
extinguisher shall attend all “hot work”. The fire watch shall be required to have
hot work training and stay ½ hour in the immediate vicinity to watch for and
extinguish any potential fires after the completion of all “hot work” activities. In
the event that a fire should occur and cannot be brought under control, the entire
building will be evacuated by the evacuation signal. All employees will follow the
instructions as stated.
D. Building Collapse
In the event of a structure failure, such as a partial or total building collapse, all
employees shall be evacuated to the designated rally point to achieve a head count
by employee name.
E. Natural Disaster
The weather forecast shall be reviewed on a daily basis by the Project
Superintendent to insure employee safety. In the event of a sudden natural disaster
such as windstorm, electrical storm, or other form of inclement weather that could
cause employee injury, the Emergency Evacuation Plan shall be executed by the
Project Superintendent for those outside activities affected by extreme weather
conditions.
If evacuation of the site is required, the Project Superintendent will appropriately
signal construction personnel. All construction personnel will then evacuate the
site and assemble outside the office trailer or other designated assembly point for
a head count and further instructions.
F. Extreme Weather
The Project Team shall provide a contingency plan to counter safety and health
hazards due to weather extremes, i.e. high winds, precipitation (rain), extremely
high or low temperatures, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, lightning, etc.
Weather forecasts shall be monitored and when weather extremes are forecasted,
contingency plans shall be put into place. Particular attention should be paid to
securing the project during overnight and weekend hours against forecasted
weather extremes.
