1 Subcontractor Safety Orientation

2 Why Are We Here? Emphasize the serious nature of the safety program on this project Provide you with the minimum requirements and general overview of our project s safety program (your employer will provide you with training required based on job specific hazards & responsibilities). Establish an open line of communication for safety issues no matter how small they may seem. 2

3 Today s Topics Your responsibilities and what you are accountable for... Logistics... Injury Management and Emergency Procedures... General site safety rules that apply to you Health and Environmental considerations... Disciplinary Policy... Reward Policy 3

4 Responsibility & Accountability Safety is YOUR responsibility Communication of Issues Suggestions & Observations Correcting Hazards You will be held accountable for your actions and inactions 4

5 Personal Conduct All persons working on this project shall be informed that there is ZERO TOLERANCE of any HARASSMENT of any kind toward : Project Personnel Public All Complaints will be investigated! Any and all project employees found responsible Will be IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY removed from the project. 5

6 Drug and Alcohol Free Workplace Drugs and alcohol use shall be prohibited on site, as well as reporting to work under the influence.

8 Required Safety Plans All contractors are required to submit: A complete site specific safety manual for each subcontractor and/or all tiered contractors working under their contract. Include special training/certifications for workers including OSHA 10/30, First Aid Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA s/jha s) is required for each major work task to be completed for all contracted scope of works onsite. Complete physical set of Safety Data Sheets must also be submitted for any and all materials used on this project prior to the materials arriving on site. 8

9 Visitors All Visitors must: Adhere to minimum mandatory PPE requirements including: Hardhat, Class II Hi-vis vest, and safety toe boots Sign-in on visitor log located in jobsite trailer Be acknowledged by a General Contractor representative Be escorted by a subcontractor representative or project personnel 9

10 Required Meetings All foreman are required to attend the monthly supervisor s safety meeting with the J&J team. All trades must attend weekly toolbox meeting on J&J projects. A copy of these signed off meetings are maintained with J&J project personnel. Ongoing safety communication will take place during meetings between J&J Safety team and subcontractors. 1 0

11 Injury Management All injuries must be reported to your supervisor and J&J Contractors immediately! This Includes: Accidents requiring medical treatment First Aid Injuries with potential future ramifications Near Misses Subcontractors are responsible for nonambulatory transportation to the nearest hospital. Accident reports must be filled out by the subcontractor s Foreman and turned in to J&J Contractors within 24 hours. 1 1

12 First Aid All injuries must be reported to your supervisor and J&J Contractors immediately! Do not leave the site without reporting an injury, regardless of how minor you may think it is. All contractors are responsible to administer 1st aid to their employees. If the injury is minor and only requires first aid, then do so. If you have an incident but no immediate noticeable injury, think I tweaked, pulled inform your foreman prior to leaving the site to document an info only claim. All claims need to be reported to J&J Contractors, Inc. ALL Subcontractors are required to have at least one First Aid/CPR certified person and a first aid kit sized for their entire crew located in their gang box or field office. 1 2

13 EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE FIRE AMBULANCE 911 ALSO - Notify J&J Contractors Immediately INFORMATION TO GIVE THE DISPATCHER: JOB SITE: Address/Coordinates Type of Incident (Fire, Police, Medical) Extent of Injuries (Number, Type, Severity) Special Hazards (i.e.: Chemical Spill, Electrical) Your Name and Telephone Number (Stay on phone till dispatcher tells you otherwise) 1 3

14 Emergency Evacuation Plan There may be mock evacuations during the construction process! This will ensure that all personnel will know how to properly evacuate the building. Full participation is required by all personnel on-site. All foreman are required to submit a head count to J&J/ BBIX every morning using subcontractor sign-in/sign-out book located in trailer. If the count changes you must change it in the book. In the event of an emergency, which requires the site to be evacuated, contact the J&J Contractors superintendent and/or SSHO immediately! You will hear 1 continuous blast of an air horn repeated until evacuation is completed. EXIT the work area in the safest manner possible and head to the designated assembly point J&J Safety Board/Trailer Find your foreman so that a head count will be taken to ensure that ALL employees have exited the building. Do not leave the area until given permission by J&J 1 4

36 Air Quality Latent Dust control with Water & street sweeper Keep dust down on operations with water and/or calcium Sweeping compound used indoors areas. If you observe an air quality problem, tell a supervisor 3 6

37 Dust\Silica Exposure Exposure to Silica dust can cause serious respiratory damage. Silica exposure can occur from breathing in concrete or masonry dust Any operation that potentially exposes workers to Silica (any form) dust will require either (1) monitoring of employees to show acceptable levels are maintained, or (2) historical data from similar operation showing non-exposure (Negative Exposure Assessment). Operations w/ potential exposure include concrete chipping, drilling, cutting, breaking, etc.; mixing of cement/concrete; grouting, etc. Operations involving potential silica exposure require engineering controls such as water or capturing of dusts using vacuums (HEPA filters required). Healthy Lung Silicosis 3 7

38 Sanitation/Hydration Portable restrooms are all unisex Water is provided to you, please throw away empty bottles. Do not leave unfinished water bottles around the job.
