    The key takeaways from the construction safety plan are that it aims to ensure a safe working environment at all times through measures such as accident reporting, job hazard analysis, housekeeping, training, and use of personal protective equipment. It also outlines specific safety protocols for various equipment and activities.

    Specific crane safety precautions mentioned are that no one should work or travel on the crane boom without fall protection, no one should climb the tower or get on the boom when it is operating, crane operators will perform daily inspections, soil conditions must be assessed before cranes arrive, and tower crane foundations must be designed by an engineer considering all loads and soil conditions. Riggers must also be properly trained.

    Electrical safety measures outlined are following the National Electrical Code standards for live work, inspecting electrical equipment and tools, inspecting major appliances daily for damage, having a qualified electrician repair tagged items, and establishing a lockout/tagout procedure.

    SAFETY PLAN

    The Construction Safety Plan is in place to ensure a safe environment at all times. It allows operations to be
    conducted in a manner that provides protection for all individuals, including labours, employees, visitors,
    and contractors.
    This Plan will be reviewed periodically, every 1 year, and may be modified / edited as necessary to ensure
    information included is accurate.

    • ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION & REPORTING - Any accident or incident resulting in a lost-time injury,
    fatality, damage to property or equipment, a serious "near miss," or the recognition of a potential hazard
    to health and environment, the Office of Environmental Health Safety and Risk Management shall be
    notified immediately.

    • JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS -Whenever a non-routine project or task is necessary job hazard analysis shall be
    performed to evaluate the potential risk of injury to personnel

    • HOUSEKEEPING - Cleanliness of the project site; All employees, labours shall keep trash, debris, remnant
    parts, and other items picked up on a regular – at least daily – basis

    • TRAINING- Training is critical to help reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses and to assist with obtaining
    emergency assistance without delay.

    All employees will attend periodic training, in addition to the required site safety orientation, that will
    include heat-related illness and injury prevention methods.

    A) PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)


    • Head Protection - Hard hats will be worn at all times on the project
    • Eye and Face Protection-

    Activity Safety Equipment

    Welding Welding Hood and safety glasses with side shields

    Burning Burning Goggles with Shield

    Drilling Goggles and safety glasses

    Concrete Pouring Safety glasses with side shields

    • Foot Protection- Sturdy, above the ankle work boots that are in good condition must be worn
    • Work Attire- Full sleeve Shirts and pants to be worn. Tank tops and cut-off shirts are not permitted
    • Hand Protection- Workers shall wear gloves at all times to prevent hand and finger injuries when
    handling tools or materials.
    B) CRANE SAFETY-
    • No employee will work or travel on any part of the crane boom without proper personal fall arrest
    equipment.
    • No worker will be allowed to climb the tower or get on the boom when the crane is in operation.
    • Crane operators will perform daily tower crane safety inspections
    • Geotechnical Requirements- Soil conditions must be fully assessed prior to any crane arriving at the
    site. Items to consider include travel, slope, and soil loading ability.
    • Foundation Consideration -. Tower crane foundations design, certified by a professional engineer,
    taking all loads and soil conditions into consideration.
    • Rigging & Slinging - Riggers must be properly trained and qualified to rig material or equipment lifted
    by a crane. Hooks will be equipped with safety latches.

    C) ELECTRICAL SAFETY-
    • All electrical subcontractors to follow the National Electrical Code of Conduct 70E standards that
    regulates electrical safety when any “live work” is going on.

    • Electrical equipment and tools used on the project shall be inspected by a competent person to
    prevent any worker from receiving an accidental electrical shock.

    • All major electrical appliances to be visually inspected daily for damage and defective pieces should
    be immediately removed from service and TAGGED OUT as defective equipment for repair.

    • A qualified electrician will repair tagged electrical items

    • LOCKOUT TAGOUT- Establish a Lock out/Tag out procedure to ensure that workers are not
    exposed to the hazards from moving machinery or equipment. Safety locks and tags will be applied
    to all circuits, switches etc.

    D) EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES


    • Heavy equipment (cranes, forklifts, excavators, man-lifts, etc.) used on the project will be inspected
    prior to use and comply with applicable OSHA standards
    • As a minimum, each operator will check: Brakes, Lights, Limit switches, Hydraulic systems, Operating
    controls

    E) EXCAVATION AND TRENCHING


    Preventive systems based on the classification of soil are-

    • Sloping • Shoring
    • Benching • Timber / Aluminum shoring
    • Placing a shield • Sheet piling
    The methods used in protection of underground excavation are-

    • Shortcreting – Used when there are no aggregates


    • Rock anchors – reinforcing the rock with rotator motion
    • Wire mesh
    • Rib erection
    • Concrete lining
    F) FALL PREVENTION/PROTECTION
    The project is committed to 100% continuous fall protection whenever workers are exposed to fall
    hazards of six feet (6') or greater.
    • All fall protection equipment shall be inspected before each use as per the OSHA 1926 standards
    and body harnesses, lanyards, and wall chains shall be inspected weekly for cuts, tears and safe
    working.
    • All Personal Fall Protection that is damaged shall be removed from service, destroyed, or sent to
    the manufacture for repair.
    Acceptable fall protection systems include the following:
    • Guardrail systems • Personal Fall Arrest Systems
    • Safety Nets • Covers for Floor, Roof and Wall Openings
    • Safety Belts • Protection from Falling Objects

    Ladder safety
    • A ramp, ladder or stairs shall be provided to access any working platform elevated 1.5 feet or
    more.
    • Follow the principle of 1:4 while using the ladders
    • Allow sufficient clearance on the top of the structure to be climbed
    • Factors need to be considered are angle of inclination, extension off landing

    Scaffolding
    Scaffold tags to be maintained as Red, Yellow and Green
    The properties of good scaffolds to maintain safety are:
    • To withstand load of men, material • Not to be overloaded
    and self-load • Clear access to be maintained
    • Stability • Prohibit public entry
    • Withstand impact and wind pressure
    Safety in guard rails
    • It should be placed wherever there are openings.
    • The minimum distance between top and bottom rails should be 900 mm
    • The minimum width of toe boards should be 150mm
    Safety belts
    • For works of height more than 2.0 m.
    • Lanyard to be anchored to a fixed point.
    • Free-fall not to exceed 1.80m
    • Lanyard not more than 3m.

    G) FIRE PROTECTION/ PREVENTION


    Fire Protection
    • Temporary fire protection measures such as fire extinguishers, temporary hose lines etc. are
    required during construction.
    • The Project Team shall develop a Fire Protection Plan in accordance with OSHAS 29 CFR 1926
    Subpart F.
    • Access to fire hydrants and extinguishers will be maintained at all times.

    Fire extinguishers will be:


    • Conspicuously located • Inspected monthly
    • Protected from freezing • Placed within the immediate area of any

    one (1) hour.
    • Combustible refuse from construction operations will not be burned or dumped anywhere on
    the construction site. Such refuse will be removed at end of shift.
    • Flammable and Combustible Liquids will be stored, dispensed and used in accordance with OSHS
