other site that may pose a safety risk to the public. It may include:
a fence used to separate the public from a construction site, evacuation, or

vacant land to prevent unauthorised entry
overhead protection for the public adjacent to a demolition or construction site
overhead protection for the public adjacent to a demolition or construction site
with sheds on top
2 metre high open wire or mesh fixed to metal rails and posts
1 metre high plastic barrier mesh fixed to star droppers or similar
concrete barriers generally known as new jersey kerbing
modular plastic barriers which provide a flexible interlocking system which, when
filled with sand or water offer a level of impact resistance
bunting / flags supported on star droppers or similar or mobile barriers
plastic cones.
Location
To maintain public access and circulation, structures must be:
located entirely within the alignments of the authorisation holders premises

and not encroach across the frontage of adjacent properties
allow a minimum of at least 1.8 metres of footpath to be kept clear for

pedestrians at all times.
Design and construction
Structures on the footpath will not pose a hazard or obstruction to users of the
footpath. On all sides exposed to the public, hoardings will be free of projections
of any kind including shakes and slivers of timber, nails, sharp edges and corners
of metal sheets.
Lights will be fixed at each corner of the hoarding and on any hoarding at
intervals not exceeding 6 metres at a height of 1.5 metres above ground level.
Lights will be kept clean and illuminated from sunset to sunrise during the whole
of the period for which the footpath is occupied
No placards, signs or advertisements of any description shall be posted on or
attached to any hoardings, scaffolding or fencing or exhibited within such space
without Council approval.
The road or footpath adjacent to the hoarded area will be kept clear of plant,
equipment, materials, debris and rubbish at all times and will be swept at least
twice daily and the sweepings removed.
Scaffoldings and Ladders:
i.
The major hazards associated with the use of scaffolding

and ladders are falling men, material or tools.
ii.

1.2.3 Security
To ensure that a Construction Safety and Health Program is duly followed and enforced at
the construction site, each construction project site is required to have the minimum required
Safety Personnel, as described herein:
A.
The General Constructor must provide for a full time officer, who shall be assigned
as the general construction safety and health officer to oversee full time the overall
management of the Construction Safety and Health Program.
The general construction safety and health officer shall frequently monitor and
inspect any health and safety aspect of the construction work being undertaken. He

shall also assist government inspection at any time whenever work is being
performed or during the conduct of accident investigation.
B.
The General Constructor must provide for additional Construction Safety and Health
Officer/s in accordance with the requirements for Safety Man/Officer of Rule 1033
(Training and Personnel Complement), depending on the total number of personnel
assigned to the construction project site, to oversee the effective compliance with the
Construction Safety and Health Program at the site, under the direct supervision of
the general construction safety and health officer.
C.
The General Constructor must provide for one (1) Construction Safety and Health
Officer for every ten (10) units of heavy equipment assigned to the project site, to
oversee the effective compliance with the Construction Safety and Health Program at
the construction project site, in terms of heavy equipment utilization and

D.
Each construction subcontractor must provide for a representative, who shall have
the same qualifications as a Safety Man/Officer, to oversee the management of the
Construction Safety and Health Program for the subcontractors workforce with the
requirements of Rule 1033 of the OSHS.
All safety personnel who will be employed by an employer on full-time basis should be
accredited by the BWC of the DOLE.
1.2.4 Basic Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)

Every employer shall, at his own expense, furnish his workers with protective
equipment for eyes, face, hands and feet, lifeline, safety belt / harness, protective
shields and barriers whenever necessary by reason of the hazardous work process or
environment, chemical or radiological or other mechanical irritants or hazards capable of
causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption,
inhalation or physical agent.
Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be in accordance with
Rule 1080 of the OSHS. The equivalent cost for the provision of PPE (life span,
depreciation, replacement, etc.) shall be an integral part of the project cost.
1. The employer shall provide adequate and approved type of protective
equipment. Workers within the construction project site shall be required to wear
the necessary PPE at all times.
2. Construction workers who are working from unguarded surfaces six (6) meters
or more above water or ground, temporary or permanent floor platform, scaffold
or where they are exposed to the possibility of falls hazardous to life or limb,
must be provided with safety harnesses and life lines.
3. Specialty construction workers must be provided with special protective
equipment, such as specialized goggles or respirators for welders and painters or
paint applicators.

4. All other persons who are either authorized or allowed to be at a construction
site shall wear appropriate PPE.
All employees are required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment in
all operations where there is exposure to hazardous conditions or where there is need
for using such equipment to reduce the hazard to the employees. Once issued, it is the
responsibility of the employee to see that the issued PPEs are maintained in safe
condition and inspected daily.

Long Sleeve T-Shirt
2.
GUIDELINES IN THE USE OF P.P.E.S:
In providing safe working conditions, the use of personal protective equipment is

the last line of defense against possible injury. It must be recognized that the use of
personal protective equipment frequently reduces or restricts some of our normal senses
that contribute to our safety awareness. For example:
Wearing safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or tinted goggles restricts
normal vision.
Earmuffs or plugs reduce hearing capability.
Use of respiratory equipment frequently restricts vision.
Wearing gloves reduces the sense of feel.
The discomfort of wearing many protective items is distracting to users.

HEAD PROTECTION
Because of the danger of falling or flying material, or impact with fixed or moving
objects, the wearing of non-conducting safety hats throughout the construction site are
normally mandatory.
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
Exposure to airborne physical, chemical or radiation agents that could injure the
eyes or face requires protection. Refer to Rule 1082 of the OSHS. At each construction
site consideration should be given to mandatory eye protection for certain areas or the
entire site if conditions warrant and eye injuries will be reduced. Contact lenses do not
constitute eye protection, and actually pose a hazard to the user in some situations.
Consequently, their use on site is strongly discouraged.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Physical or chemical contaminants in the air that are harmful if ingested by
breathing and/or possible oxygen deficiency require the use of respiratory equipment.
This equipment that fits over the nose, nose and mouth, or entire face can be broadly
classified by its intended function.
The suppliers of canisters and filters identify them for the types of environment
they are effective in, and limit their use. These instructions must be observed for proper
protection.
Anybody excepted to use fresh air masks in the course of their work shall be
given training and practice in the proper methods of wearing and operating this
equipment.
HEARING PROTECTION
High noise levels pose the long-range health hazard of loss of hearing to
exposed workers. Permissible noise exposures are given in Table 8b of the OSHS.
Because of the changing activities and conditions, periodic monitoring for the noise
levels throughout the construction site are required. When noise levels above
permissible level are observed, the preferred course of action is to control or isolate the
noise source thus reducing it to a permissible level for exposed workers. If it is
impractical to do this, hearing protection shall be provided for exposed employees.
Earmuffs or plugs of material designed for sound muffling shall be used.
BODY PROTECTION
For most works in a construction site, work clothing that covers the body, legs
and arms is adequate. Workers that are exposed to heat, sparks or molten metal should
be aware that some clothing materials are more flammable than others, i.e. some
synthetic fibers ignite and burn more readily than natural cloth fibers. Suits or aprons
suitable for the exposure to extreme heat, toxic chemicals, or acids shall be provided if
work conditions require.
FOOT PROTECTION
It is advisable for all workers on a construction site to wear safety shoes
because of the many hazards exposing feet to injury. In addition, used of boots may be
required when work is in water or feet are exposed to chemical or acids.
HAND PROTECTION
Various types of gloves shall be available and used to protect the hands from
cuts, abrasions and punctures, sparks, heat, cold, and molten metal; contact with
electricity, and exposure to toxic chemicals and acids.
SAFETY BELTS
Safety belts shall be used by all workers on elevated work where scaffolding,
ladders, catch platforms or temporary floors are not provided. Safety belts or safety

harnesses shall be attached to a fixed support, and lanyard shall restrict fall to 6 ft. (1.8
m).
LISTS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) THAT PASS THE

PERFORMANCE TESTING STANDARD OF THE OSHC:
1.2.4.1 Safety Shoes
Classifications of Safety Shoes According to ASTM F 2412-05 and ASTM F 2413-05
Safety shoes are classified in accordance with their ability to meet the minimum
requirements for the impact resistance and compression resistance at the toe area of the
footwear.
The purpose of the impact resistance test is to determine the effectiveness to reduce
injury at the toe area of the foot when subjected to a falling load. On the other hand, the
compression resistance test is conducted to determine the effectiveness to reduce injury
at the toe area of the foot when subjected to compressive force.
Heavy Duty Safety Shoes (Class 75) shall pass the requirements according to the
following table:
Impact Resistance - 75 ft-lbs (101.7 J)
Compression Resistance - 2500 lbs (11,121 N)
Medium Duty Safety Shoes (Class 50) shall pass the requirements according to the
following table
Impact Resistance - 50 ft-lbs (67.8 J)
Compression Resistance - 1750 lbs (7784 N)
Electric Shock Resistant Footwear has a non-conductive electrically resistant outsole

and heel to protect the wearer against the hazards of incidental contact with electricity.
Static Dissipative Footwear shall reduce static electricity by conducting the charge to
ground, as well as maintain a level of resistance to reduce the possibility of electric
shock from incidental contact with electricity.
Puncture Resistant Footwear has a mid-sole device to protect the wearer against the
possibility of injury from accidental contact and penetration of sharp and pointed
materials.
Note: Effective January, 2011, specimen safety shoes were tested according to the
requirements of ASTM F 2412-05 and ASTM F 2413 - 05 replacing ANSI Z41:1999.
1.2.4.2 Hard Hats

Classifications of Hard Hats
Hard hats must be able to absorb the shock of blow from falling objects and be able to
resist penetration from sharp objects. The materials of the shell define their electrical

resistance capabilities. Additional characteristics will include the slow flammability rate
and low water absorption of the shell material.
Types of Headwear
Type 1 - protection from impact and penetration at the crown (top)
Type 2 - protection from impact and penetration at the crown (top), and laterally (sides)
Classes of Headwear
Class B or E in addition to impact and penetration resistance protection, provides
electrical protection from high voltage conductors. Proof tested to 20,000 volts
Class A or G - in addition to impact and penetration resistance protection, provides
electrical protection from low voltage conductors. Proof tested to 2,200 volts
Class C provides impact and penetration resistance protection but does not provide
electrical protection and should not be used around electrical hazards.
1.2.4.3 Safety Spectacles, Safety Goggles and Face Shield

1.2.4.4 Fall Protection Equipment
Note: Effective January, 2013, fall protection equipment specimens were tested according
to the requirements of ANSI Z359.1 - 1992 replacing BS 1397:1979.
1.2.5 PPE Store
1.2.6 First Aid Treatment Area

1. The construction project owner or his duly authorized representative shall provide
competent emergency health personnel within the worksite duly complemented by
adequate medical supplies, equipment and facilities, based on the total number of
workers in the site as indicated below:
a) The services of a certified first-aider when the total number of workers is fifty
(50) or less;
b) The services of a full-time registered nurse when the total number of workers
exceeds fifty (50) but not more than two hundred (200);
c) The services of a full-time registered nurse, a part-time physician and a

an infirmary or emergency hospital with one (1) bed capacity when the number of
employees exceed three hundred (300). In addition, there should be one (1) bed
capacity for every one hundred (100) employees in excess of three hundred
(300).
2. Where an employer provides only a treatment room, he shall provide for his workers
in case of emergency, access to the nearest medical/dental clinic located within five (5)
kilometers radius from the workplace and can be reached in twenty-five(25) minutes of
travel. Such access shall include the necessary transportation facilities. In such situation,
there shall be a written contract with the medical/dental clinic to attend to such
workplace emergencies.
3. The engagement of an Emergency Health Provider for the construction project site
shall be considered as having complied with the requirement of accessibility to the
nearest hospital facilities.
4. The first aid station or clinic should consist the following equipment and medicines as

Medicines for the station should be taken from Table 47 of the OSHS manual
based on the number of workers. And it should be noted for hazardous and nonhazardous workplace.
1.2.7 Site Housekeeping
Inherent with good housekeeping is the elimination of many hazards that could result in
falls, trips, cuts, fires and many other potential accidents. Good housekeeping is a visible
advertisement and promotion of safe working conditions.
Containers for trash and debris shall be deployed throughout the site. Schedule of pickup and disposal of trash shall be set to prevent overfilling containers and large
accumulations at any location.
If work restricts traffic on roads, barricades to divert traffic shall be used. Similarly, clear
walkways for access to site shall be maintained. Hoses and electric cords shall be laid to
minimize road and walkway crossings. Where necessary, these shall be run overhead,
or provided with protective covering if run at ground level.
Clean up is a part of every job to be done. Excess and scrap materials shall be stored
when not in use. Working platforms on long-standing scaffolds shall be periodically
cleaned of debris.
1.2.8 Toolbox Meeting

Toolbox meetings provide a forum to discuss items of safety relevant to the project
and permit an opportunity for open communication between employees and supervisors
on the project.
Safety talks will be scheduled on a weekly basis. Such talks will be carried out by the
supervisors (leadmen, capatazes, foremen) assisted by the safety officer. The talks will
be of short duration on a relevant safety topic and records of attendance will be
maintained. Each talk will likely last for at least 15 minutes every Monday morning or as
determined by the project.
1.2.9 Construction Plant/Machinery

Inherent with the use of productive mobile equipment are the many potential
hazards that can result from:
A large mass in motion.
Possible malfunction of the equipment.

Prior to work assignment on any piece of equipment, all operators shall be given the
necessary instructions, practice time, and tested by a competent observer for
capability to operate the equipment safely.
Prior to starting work each day, operator shall check proper functioning and
condition of horn, lights, tires, brakes (service and emergency), windshields, mirrors,
and make a visual and operational check of engine and functional devices of the

equipment. Any defects shall be rectified or logged for correction as judged
necessary by the operator or his supervisor.
All equipment shall be periodically inspected and serviced by a competent
mechanic. Records of this maintenance shall be kept for each piece of equipment.
The load capacity and any operational restriction for each piece of equipment shall
be posted at the operators station. As applicable, the capacity and requirements for
any equipment to transport personnel shall be posted also.

1.2.11 Work Permit

A permit-to-work ensures a formal check is undertaken to make sure all the elements of
a safe system of work are in place before people are allowed to enter or work in the
confined space. It is also a means of communication between site management,
supervisors, and those carrying out the hazardous work. Essential features of a permitto-work are:
clear identification of who may authorise particular jobs (and any limits to their
authority) and who is responsible for specifying the necessary precautions (eg
isolation, air testing, emergency arrangements etc);

making sure that contractors engaged to carry out work are included;
training and instruction in the issue of permits;
monitoring and auditing to make sure that the system works as intended.
1.2.12 Training
The basic construction safety and health training shall be a forty (40)-hour
training course as prescribed by the BWC. The training course shall include the
provisions of Rule 1410 of the OSHS. The BWC, from time to time, may modify
the basic construction safety and health training course, as the need arises.
All safety personnel involved in a construction project shall be required to
complete such basic training course. Every constructor shall provide continuing
construction safety and health training to all technical personnel under his
employ. Continuing training shall be a minimum of 16 hours per year for every
full-time safety personnel.
1.2.13 Training room/area

The place of the training depends on what the type of training event is
needed. For example, a forklifting training must be taught outside of work to
prevent accidents or damages on site, while an activity of hazard management
must be at work to properly demonstrate what situations might happen on a
certain work area.

Many workplaces contain areas that are considered "confined spaces" because
while they are not necessarily designed for people, they are large enough for workers to
enter and perform certain jobs. A confined space also has limited or restricted means for
entry or exit and is not designed for continuous occupancy. Confined spaces include, but
are not limited to, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, pits, manholes,
tunnels, equipment housings, ductwork, pipelines, etc.
OSHA uses the term "permit-required confined space" (permit space) to describe
a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: contains or has
the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; contains material that has the potential
to engulf an entrant; has walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and
taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate an entrant; or contains any other
recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires,
or heat stress.
1.2.14 Penalty System

1.2.14.1 Reward
Since the manpower of this project is less than fifty (50), we in Dela Torre Enterprises

1.2.18 Safety Management by walking around (SMBWA)

Observations: Every walkaround should start with an observation of work. This
is essential and is what differentiates walkarounds from more typical compliancebased inspections. The work observed can be anything from computer use in an
office space to hazardous process operations. This is the managers choice
based on perceived risk or importance. Observations should generally last from
10 to 30 minutes and minimize work disruption as much as possible. Often
workers will stop what they are doing when managers appear on the scene. If
this happens, workers should be requested to return to work so the observation

can continue. Workers should be expecting their managers via prior
communications. There is always some skewing of work performance when
managers are present, but experience shows that this distortion diminishes
dramatically over time as workers come to expect management observations as
a matter of course and view them positively.
Demos: Occasionally managers arrive at a workplace only to find that the work
has been completed or delayed. Although not as useful as actual work
observations, a demo is often a good observation alternative in these cases.
Demos are where managers ask the employees to show them the work steps
without actually performing them. This is somewhat easier if the work is governed
by a procedure. Managers can then ask questions like How do you do this? and
Can you show me? to obtain a better understanding of the work.
Work discussions should serve first to put employees at ease and then to
mutually identify potential opportunities for improving the safety of the work.
The following are a few sample questions managers might ask during the
walkarounds:
1. What part of your job do you consider the most hazardous?

2. What is the worst thing that could happen if something went wrong as a result
of this work?
3. Have you (or someone you know) ever experienced an injury, or near miss,
performing this work?
4. What, if anything, about this job needs additional safety attention?
5. How do you resolve safety problems when they arise?
6. Why are safety rules and/or procedures violated (if violations were observed)?
7. Which rules or procedures do you find difficult (or hazardous) to use?

8. What training (including safety training) have you received to perform your
job?
9. What changes would you implement to make this job safer if you had the
authority to do so?
1.2.20 Security Contingency Plan
Predictable risks that could be mitigated with forward planning might include:
Non-delivery of materials. An alternative design might be prepared, or bulk or
specific items could be pre-ordered before contractors are appointed
Lack of available work force. This could be tackled by the provision of a site
labour camp or by overseas recruitment.
Lack of plant and equipment availability (or plant failure or access to spare parts).
Plant such as piling rigs and spares could be ordered during the design stages
prior to contractor involvement.
Illness. This could be mitigated by insurance cover for key personnel.
The risk of obtaining planning permission or other statutory approvals. This might
be mitigated by early consultation with statutory authorities prior to design, or
by employing ex-statutory authority employees, or consultants familiar with
the statutory authority.
Information and communications technology failure. This might be mitigated by
duplicating facilities, establishing back-up procedures and providing
uninterrupted power supplies.
Failure of power or water supply. This might be mitigated by the duplication of
supply, uninterrupted power supplies or the provision of standby generators.
1.2.19 Safety Records
The First Aid personnel with the assistance of the project safety officer must
maintain a variety of records for protection of the employees, the company and
client.
2. First Aid Log
This is a chronological listing of all visits to the clinic or first aid station.
Every injury illness reported, no matter how slight must be recorded. A

copy of the logbook and necessary forms shall be provided to the clinic or
first aid station.
3. Individual Medical Record
This is a confidential record of the employees illness and injuries reported
to the clinic or first aid station. The First Aider is responsible for keeping
the medical record of every employee in the site. At the end of the month,
he/she shall submit to the Project Incharge and project safety officer a
summary report of all cases treated in the clinic.
1.2.20 Security Contingency Plan

The Contingency Plan of the Project will include the arrangements for speedily and
timeously transporting injured/ill person/s to a medical facility or of getting emergency
medical aid to person/s that may require it. Predictable risks that could be mitigated
with forward planning might include:
Non-delivery of materials. An alternative design might be prepared, or bulk or

specific items could be pre-ordered before contractors are appointed
Lack of available work force. This could be tackled by the provision of a site
labour camp or by overseas recruitment.
Lack of plant and equipment availability (or plant failure or access to spare parts).
Plant such as piling rigs and spares could be ordered during the design stages prior
to contractor involvement.
Illness. This could be mitigated by insurance cover for key personnel.
The risk of obtaining planning permission or other statutory approvals. This might
be mitigated by early consultation with statutory authorities prior to design, or by
employing ex-statutory authority employees, or consultants familiar with
the statutory authority.
Information and communications technology failure. This might be mitigated by

duplicating facilities, establishing back-up procedures and providing uninterrupted
power supplies.

work practices, policies, and procedures. It is the supervisors responsibility to identify
potential hazards, identify methods to control or eliminate the hazards, ensure
employees engage in safe and healthful work practices, and ensure employees receive
safety and health training to do their work. Safety and health performance will be part of
our supervisors evaluations.
SAFETY AND HEALTH COMMITTEE
Our management will take an active role on the safety and health committee. At least
annually the safety and health committee will develop written safety and health goals
and track monthly progress. These goals will be communicated to all employees. Our
committee will be comprised of management and hourly employees. Members will be
(Elected/Appointed/Volunteer) and will serve on the committee for (Length of Time).
RESPONDING TO SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES

Our management will take prompt consistent action when responding to safety and
health issues. They will demonstrate our management commitment to addressing safety
and health concerns and encourage employee participation. Management will respond
to employees reports of hazards or potential hazards and (Describe your companys
system for employees to report hazards).
Immediate supervisors will review, investigate, and take any necessary and appropriate
action on all employee reports of hazards or potential hazards. The employee reporting
the hazard or potential hazard will be notified of the outcome. Reporting of hazards or
potential hazards will be without fear of reprimand.

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT

SAFETY INSPECTIONS
Our employees will participate in regular safety and health inspections
(Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly) to help identify potentially hazardous conditions and
unsafe actions and initiate corrections. Findings will be presented to (Name/Title/Safety
and Health Committee) for review. Corrective action will be implemented under the
direction of (Name/Title) in a timely manner.
SUGGESTION SYSTEM
Our employees are encouraged to make safety and health suggestions to help improve
a process, prevent an accident, or to make any improvement in the safety and health
system. The suggestion system will be implemented by (Name/Title) who will be
responsible for determining priority and the proper means of implementation. Safety
suggestions will be shared with the safety and health committee for input. Suggestion
forms can be placed in suggestion boxes at (Location) or given directly to (Name/Title).
EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION
Our employees will be given an opportunity to provide input regarding recommendations
on safety and health products, procedures, and training as it pertains to daily work
operations. For example, employees may be given some responsibility to test out

products or conduct research to substantiate recommendations. Employee input may be
provided through the suggestion system, report of hazard, or through actions the safety
and health committee initiates. Employees may participate in a variety of ways such as;
a trainer, inspector, or problem solver.
WORKSITE ANALYSIS
We will conduct a worksite analysis, through systematic actions that provide information
as needed to recognize and understand the hazards and potential hazards of our
workplace. Listed below are types of worksite analysis actions that can assist with
making an inventory of potential hazards in our workplace:
1. Job safety analysis.
2. Comprehensive hazard surveys (insurance inspections, MIOSHA On-site, etc.).
3. Hazard analysis of changes in the workplace (new equipment, new processes).
4. Regular site safety and health inspections (employee and management).
5. Employee report of hazards or potential hazards.
6. Accident and incident investigations with corrective actions and follow-up.
7. Injury and illness trend analysis.
8. Personal protective equipment assessment.
9. Ergonomic analysis.
10. Specific identification of confined spaces.

required by safety and health standards (e.g., overhead crane inspections,
powered industrial truck daily inspection, etc.).
NEW EQUIPMENT, PROCESSES, AND FACILITY HAZARD ANALYSIS

(Name/Title) will analyze new facilities, equipment, processes, and materials for hazards
and potential hazards. Findings will be documented and plans developed to minimize or
design out the hazards.
JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

(Company Name) will utilize job safety analysis to determine potential hazards and
identify methods to reduce exposure to the hazards.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a method of planning for safety and health. There are
three parts to the JSA.
1. The first component of a JSA is breaking down a job or task into the specific
steps it takes to complete the job. Although this can be done in small detail,
typically only the major steps are listed. This often results in five to ten steps.
The steps are listed in chronological order, listing the first thing that must be
done, then what comes next, and so on.
2. The second component of a JSA is to list all the hazards that are involved in each
step. There may be many hazards that get listed next to some steps and may not
be any associated with some steps.
3. The third step is to write down how each hazard will be eliminated or controlled.
In other words, describe what needs to be done in order to perform that task
safely.

EMPLOYEE REPORT OF HAZARDS

Our employees play a key role in identifying, controlling, and reporting hazards that may
occur or already exist in the workplace. Employee reports of potential hazards can be
an effective tool to trigger a closer look at a piece of equipment, operation, or how work
is being performed. Reports of potential hazards can also provide suggestions to
eliminate a hazard.
ACCIDENT/INCIDENT INVESTIGATION
We will conduct an investigation for all accidents/incidents and near misses. Our
primary goal of conducting an investigation is to determine the root cause to prevent
the risk of a future occurrence. Investigation reports can help determine injury and
illness trends over time, so that patterns with common causes can be identified and
prevented. Investigations are not intended to place blame.
Accidents and near-miss incidents will be investigated by (Name/Title). The reports will
be reviewed by (Name/Safety Committee) within (Days/Hours) of an accident/incident.
HAZARD PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Our management will develop systems to prevent and control hazards. These include:
the establishment of controls through engineering, work practice, personal protective
equipment, and/or administrative actions; systems to track hazard correction; preventive
maintenance systems; emergency preparation; and medical program.
Our written system will be implemented to assure guards, housekeeping, and personal
protective equipment are provided and being used.
A written plan of action for the correction of hazards found in the workplace will be
implemented by (Name/Title). Actions will be communicated to all employees.
A maintenance schedule for all vehicles and equipment will be established by
(Name/Title). Maintenance logs will be kept to document work performed and repairs
scheduled or ordered.
Required written programs such as: lockout/tagout, respiratory protection, right to know,
confined space, asbestos, benzene, lead, and fork lift permits will be developed.

Through a team effort all employees at (Company Name) will make safety checks a
part of routine work practices
JOB SITE INSPECTIONS

(Company Name) will conduct daily job site inspections. Hazards will be documented,
reviewed, and corrections will be made in a timely manner. More detailed, written
inspections will be conducted by (Name/Title) on a (Weekly/Monthly) basis. The Safety
Coordinator or other designated safety person will tour each job site and observe
potential safety/health hazards, and develop a plan for safeguarding this company's
workers which may include the following:
1. Removing the hazard.

2. Guarding against the hazard as required by MIOSHA.
3. Providing personal protective equipment and enforcing its use.
4. Training workers in safe work practices.
5. Coordinating protection of workers through other contractors.
A record of all safety inspections and correctional steps will be kept.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
All accidents resulting in injury or property damage will be investigated. The purpose of
the investigation is NOT to find fault, but to find the cause of the accident so similar
incidents can be prevented in the future.
1. All accidents, no matter how minor must be reported to the Foreman

immediately.
2. Foremen must report all accidents to the Safety Coordinator as soon as possible.
3. Foremen must complete an initial written accident investigation the day of the
accident, if possible.
4. All workers involved in the accident or who witnessed the accident must
complete a written statement describing the incident.
5. The Safety Coordinator will complete a thorough accident investigation to
determine root causes and corrective actions.
6. Near misses (situations where an accident almost happened) should be reported.
Corrective action must be taken to prevent the same situation from occurring

again with the potential for serious injury. Foremen should make a note of near
misses and the corrective actions taken and report them to the Safety
Coordinator, so that the same corrections may be made on all the companys job
sites.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
1. Hard hats will be worn on job sites at all times.
2. Eye protection will be worn when there are potentials of hazards from flying
objects or particles, chemicals, arcing, glare, or dust.
3. Leather work boots shall be worn to protect from falling objects, chemicals, or
stepping on sharp objects. Safety toe footwear may be necessary in some
instances. Athletic or canvas-type shoes shall not be worn.
4. Protective gloves or clothing shall be worn when required to protect against a
hazard.
4. Harnesses and lanyards shall be utilized for fall protection as required.
POLICIES, PROCEDURES, SAFETY AND HEALTH RULES
Our management is responsible for implementing major decisions, policies and safety
and health procedures. Specific safety and health procedures that are required by
MIOSHA will be put in writing such as: lockout, right to know, fall protection, confined
space, respiratory program, etc. A copy of our written safety program will be available
on every jobsite, either in the jobsite trailer, the gang box, or with the foremen. The
required MIOSHA posters will be posted (Location).

18. Excavations over five feet deep must be shored or sloped as required. Keep out of
trenches or cuts that are not properly shored or sloped. Excavated material or other
debris shall not be stored nearer than two feet from the edge of the excavation.
Excavations less than 5 feet will require cave in protection where conditions indicate
possible side failure.
19. Practice the following safety procedures when using ladders:
Use the "four to one" rule when using a ladder. One foot of base for every
four feet of height.
Portable ladders in use shall be equipped with safety feet unless the ladders

flammable gas, or has a possibility of engulfment by solids or liquids.
Only a qualified person will test the confined area with an appropriate detector
before entry.
Wear the necessary personal protective equipment.
Provide ventilation by blowing fresh air into the confined space.
An attendant (hole-watch) may be required to be stationed at the entrance.
SAFETY DISCIPLINE
(Company Name) has implemented the following four step disciplinary system when
safety rules are not followed or other unsafe actions endanger workers.
First violation:
Oral warning; notation for personnel file.
Second violation:
Written warning; copy for file or Personnel Office.
Third violation:
Written warning; one day suspension without pay.
Fourth violation:
Written warning and one-week suspension, or termination if

warranted.
Zero-tolerance Violations: Some safety violations are of such serious nature that there
will be no warnings and termination may result. Examples include:
Entering hazardous confined spaces without following proper procedures,

Failing to use fall protection equipment,
Entering unsafe excavations.
Both the employee and the supervisor allowing these unsafe acts may be terminated.
A record will be maintained of all disciplinary actions.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In case of an emergency on site the following procedures will be instituted at each site.
1. Method of communication will be determined at each site: telephone, radio, etc.

2.
Post the following emergency telephone numbers:

other environmental hazards are present, including:
The potential hazards,

How to avoid injury,
Applicable first aid procedures to be used in the event of injury
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT
Lockout / Tagout assures that employees are protected from unintended machine
motion or unintended release of energy which could cause injury. This includes
electricity, water, steam, hydraulic, gravity, and many other sources of stored energy.
All sources of energy must be shut off, de-energized at the source, and locked-out prior
to any employee beginning work around or on the potential hazard
SAFETY HEALTH & SECURITY MANAGEMENT PLAN

CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
No employee shall enter confined spaces without authorization. A confined space is
defined as the following:
1. A space that is NOT DESIGNED FOR CONTINUOUS employee OCCUPANCY,

and
2. Is large enough and so configured that a person can bodily enter into and
perform assigned work, and
3. Has LIMITED or RESTRICTED means for ENTRY or EXIT.
Confined spaces that may have a HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE require special

precautions. Hazardous atmospheres are those that may expose employees to the risk
of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self rescue caused by:
Flammable gas,
Airborne combustible dust,
Atmospheric oxygen concentration below 19.5 or above 23.5%,
A toxic atmosphere or substance,
Danger of engulfment.
WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

Hazard communication means ensuring that all workers know about the chemicals that
they work with and work around. Often called Right to Know, the hazard
communication program involves the following elements.
1. Written hazard communication program.

2. Training on the chemicals this company uses.
3. Labeling: using properly labeled containers.
4. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): SDS (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheets
or MSDS) must be readily available onsite. Workers must know where to find
SDS and be able to read and properly utilize an SDS.
5. Posting signs to inform employees of the location of SDS and when new
chemicals are brought on the job site.
6. Informing other contractors: If we use chemicals around other contractors, it is

our responsibility to inform other contractors of the hazards involved. We will
make every effort to keep other contractors safe from the chemicals we use.
Typically, the general contractor onsite will need to coordinate all chemical use of
all contractors to maintain a safe workplace.
FALL PROTECTION PROGRAM
1. Fall protection is required whenever working at six feet or above.

2. Fall protection will be provided by one or more of the following:
Guardrails,
Hole covers,
Safety nets,
Personal fall arrest system (harness and lanyard).
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Electrical safety involves two primary issues:
Powerlines,
Temporary and permanent electrical wiring and equipment.
To avoid electrical incidents, several basic safety rules must be followed:
1. Stay at least 10 feet back from powerlines, in ALL directions. Stay further back if
voltages are greater than 50,000 volts
2. Do not store materials under powerlines.
3. Mark powerlines on the job site with warning signs below.
4. Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) whenever plugging into temporary
power or using an extension cord.
5. Extension cords and trailing cords with missing ground prongs must be removed
from service.
6. Extension cords and trailing cords with cuts must be removed from service.
7. Do not operate wet power tools.
8. Keep extension cords from being damaged in doorways or being run over.
9. Keep extension cords out of wet areas.
10. Never wire anything yourself or attempt to make electrical repairs. Leave that for
an electrician.
11. Assume all wires and electrical boxes are live, unless you are certain they are
not.
12. Do not store any materials within 3 feet of electrical boxes.
EXCAVATION SAFETY

Pre-job planning is vital to accident-free excavations and trenching; safety cannot be
improvised as work progresses.
The following concerns must be addressed by a qualified person.
1. Evaluate soil conditions and select and construct appropriate protective systems
in accordance with MIOSHA Part 9, Excavation, Trenching and Shoring.
2. If the trench is 5 or deeper, you must use one of the following.
sloping of trench sides
benching of trench sides
trench boxes,
shoring,
3. If the trench is less than 5 but is hazardous due to soil or the nature of the
trench, then you must use protective systems.
4. Appropriate protective systems to prevent a cave-in may include:
5. Inspect the site daily at the start of each shift, following a rainstorm, or after any
other hazard-increasing event.
6. Contact MISS DIG to locate underground lines at least 3 days prior to
excavating.
7. Plan for traffic control when necessary. Refer to the Michigan Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control (MMUTC) Part 6 (available from the Michigan Department of
Transportation) for traffic control.
8. Determine proximity to structures that could affect choice of protective systems.
For example, ensure roads, sidewalks, or buildings are not too close to allow the
use of a trenchbox or adequate sloping.
9. Test for low oxygen, and hazardous gases and vapors, especially when gasoline
engine-driven equipment is running, or the dirt has been contaminated by leaking
lines or storage tanks. Fuel-powered equipment produces carbon monoxide in

the exhaust and must not be used without adequate ventilation. Provide
appropriate respiratory protection when necessary.
10. Provide safe access into and out of the excavation. If the excavation is 4 or
greater, ensure a ladder is within 25 of workers in the excavation.
11. Provide appropriate protections if water accumulation is a problem. Water flow
and accumulation must be inspected and must be controlled.
12. Keep excavations open the minimum amount of time needed to complete
operations.

SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING
(Company Name) will provide training to assure the requirements of MIOSHA standards
are met and continuously evaluate employee training needs to keep workers safe and
healthy on the job.

safety and health management system, safe work practices and expectations,
and specific safety and health training for the tasks that they will perform.
2. After inspecting a job site, (Name/Title) will identify and evaluate all potential
hazards for potential of serious injuries and probability of an accident. Actions
will be taken to minimize the hazards and protect the workers.
3. The Safety Coordinator or other designated site person will appraise the skill and
knowledge level of exposed workers, and provide any needed training.
4. Where safety and health training is needed, appropriate training will be provided.

hazards and the requirements of MIOSHA.
5. Records will be maintained for all training sessions with descriptions of topics
covered and names of workers trained.
6. Toolbox Talks: Toolbox talks will be conducted regularly (weekly/daily). Topics

SAFETY AND HEALTH WORK OBSERVATIONS
Safety and health work observations will be performed periodically by supervisors or
designated observers.
Safety and health work observations ensure: 1) an employee has the knowledge to
perform the work as trained, and 2) is actually performing their work task safely. Specific
observations or audits are especially critical for lockout/tagout, confined space, or where
the risk of exposure is high. Results will be documented and follow-up training will be
provided as needed. This process helps assure safety and health training is effective.
2.7 Safety Pre Planning

Pre Task Planning is an important element of a risk management and also a systematic
examination of a job intended to identify potential hazards. This
involves:
Carefully analysing each basic task of a job
Identifying potential health & safety hazards at each step
Determining the best safety practice to prevent or mitigate such hazards
