Section 1: Scope

Section 1: Scope

Construction Safety:

It is the responsibility of each Contractor working on a Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Planning and Development Group (PDG) Project to control site safety so that the Contractor’s employees, the general public, tenant employees, and LAWA airport employees are provided an environment free of hazards during construction and renovation. The safety program described in this manual does not relieve the Contractor of their individual responsibility regarding the safety of their employees, the safety of subcontractors’ employees and the employees of all entities engaged by the Contractor in the execution of its contract, the protection of the general public, tenant employees, and LAWA employees as well as the preservation of property.

The term “Contractor” also refers to tenants and others with contracts, leases, memorandum of understanding, or other agreements obligating such entities to follow and adhere to the LAWA Construction Safety Program Requirements (CSPR). Contracts, leases, memorandum of understanding, or other agreements will be referred to as contract documents within the LAWA

CSPR.

Each Contractor is required by law to protect the health and safety of its employees and the employees of each subcontractor and sub-subcontractor by providing a safe and healthy workplace or work area.

The safety requirements of the LAWA CSPR apply in addition to all Federal, State, and Local government rules, codes, and regulation. The safety requirements do not negate, abrogate, alter or otherwise change any provisions of government rules, codes, and/or regulations, and are intended to supplement each Contractor’s safety program and the overall project safety effort. It is understood that each Contractor has the ultimate responsibility for providing a safe workplace or work area.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the LAWA CSPR and applicable Local, State or Federal safety and health laws, regulations and/or standards, contract document or the Contractor’s Safety Plan the more stringent requirement shall apply.

Tenant Construction Projects:

Acquisition and non-acquisition projects shall adhere to all requirements of the LAWA CSPR.

During the Tenant Improvement Approval Process, the tenant on non-acquisition construction projects may request through the Tenant Request for Exemption, exemptions to the LAWA specific requirements. LAWA will consider requests based on scope, schedule, impacts to LAWA, risk assessment. LAWA will not consider nor has the authority to waive Local, State, or Federal safety and health laws, regulations and/or standards.

Section 3: Phase Specific Requirements

The LAWA CSPR has been developed by LAWA to promote safety and minimize the hazards and risks associated with construction projects. It is this policy’s goal to eliminate personal injuries and property damage associated with construction activities. The effectiveness of the Construction Safety Program depends upon the active participation of the Contractor and recognizes dependency on active participation and cooperation of Contractor’s staff in carrying out the following basic procedures in all phases of the project.

3. Pre-Construction:

3.1. The Contractor shall submit their Cal/OSHA compliant Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP). The IIPP shall be reviewed, commented upon, and accepted during the mobilization phase and prior to any construction activities taking place. See Appendix K for IIPP required elements.

3.2. The Contractor shall submit the Contractor’s Cal/OSHA compliant Code of Safe Practices (COSP). The Contractor’s COSP must address and/or incorporate the LAWA COSP in Appendix D. The COSP shall be reviewed, commented upon, and accepted during the mobilization phase and prior to any construction activities taking place.

3.3. The Contractor shall submit a Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP). The Contractor’s SSSP must meet or exceed the LAWA SSSP in Appendix L. The SSSP shall be reviewed, commented upon, and accepted during the mobilization phase and prior to any construction activities taking place.

3.4. Safety professionals are required on each project in accordance with Appendix G. The Contractor shall submit for approval the resumes of their proposed safety professional(s). The General Contractor Safety Manager and all General Contractor Safety Coordinators will be interviewed by the LAWA Project Manager or their designee. All Safety Professionals shall be approved prior to being allowed to manage safety on the project.

3.5. On-site construction work cannot begin until the required safety personnel positions have been filled by approved persons.

3.6. Pre-construction conference will take place after the receipt and acceptance of all required safety deliverables. This conference shall begin with safety as the first agenda item and all approved Contractor safety professionals must be in attendance.

Construction:

3.7. Plan safety into all work activities in accordance with the Contractor’s Incident Prevention Plan (IPP) to minimize the potential for personal injury, property damage, and loss of productive time. Maintain a system of prompt detection and correction of unsafe practices and conditions. See Appendix B.

3.8. Comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, regulations, industry standards, Airport regulations (see Appendix E), and LAWA Construction Safety Program Requirements.

3.9. All approved safety professionals must engage in continuing education in order to maintain qualifications/certifications in accordance with Appendix G.

3.10. Through the Contractor’s Incident Response Plan (IRP), the Contractor will ensure prompt notification, thorough investigation, and accurate reporting of all incidents. Upon request of the LAWA Project Manager additional investigations may be required. Incident responses must determine the root causes and implement necessary corrective action. See Appendix C.

TCO/Punch List

3.11. Contractor will continue to perform work in compliance with LAWA Construction Safety Program Requirements.

3.12. Non-construction personnel must remain protected and/or excluded from all construction activities.

3.13. Approved barricading methods must be used in accordance with LAWA Construction and Logistics Management (CALM) regulations.

Appendix A:

Interruptions and Stoppages of the Work Due to Hazardous Conditions

A.1. Work Stoppages

Construction may be stopped by LAWA at any time if the intent of the regulations regarding safety or Security Requirements is being violated or that a hazardous condition exists. This decision to suspend the operation will be final and will only be rescinded by LAWA when satisfied that the Contractor has taken action to correct the condition and prevent recurrence.

Field observations will be made by LAWA and/or authorized representatives during all phases of the work to ensure that the Contractor is following their safety plans and all pertinent safety requirements. Observations requiring immediate action will be reported to the Contractor for immediate correction.

A.2. Intermittent Construction Operations

When directed to cease construction and move from the area, the Contractor shall immediately respond and move all material, equipment and personnel outside the affected area(s). Operations shall not be resumed until directed by LAWA. Every reasonable effort will be made to cause minimum disturbance to the Contractor’s operations; however, no guarantee can be made as to the extent to which disturbance can be avoided.

Appendix B:

Incident Prevention Plan

B.1. The Contractor shall create and implement an Incident Prevention Plan (IPP). The IPP will be developed as a project-wide standard operating procedure (SOP). The Contractor’s IPP must meet or exceed the elements of this appendix.

B.2. Risk Assessment Process

B.2.1. Risk Assessments or the Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) must be completed and present on site with all work crews prior to commencement of work. The risk assessment must at a minimum include: Task, Hazard, Control, Measured Risk (risk after controls implemented), Supervision and Evaluation. The risk measurement must be broken down into probability and severity. See 2.3 below.

B.2.2. Document your risk assessment on a JHA (see Appendix F for forms). The JHA is developed and completed when the project team lays out the work. Each scope of work at a minimum must have a separate JHA. Some work may require the scope to be broken down into more manageable parts with separate JHA’s.

The JHA must be updated as changes to the scope occur. Use the model in 2.5 below to evaluate changes to scope.

B.2.3. Use the risk assessment matrix below to measure and communicate risk levels.

The Contractor must define severity in both dollars and injury.

B.2.4. The risk assessment is a five step cyclical process that continually improves with each cycle.

B.2.5. Step 1 is to identify the tasks associated with their work. Defining The Tasks:

The best way to ensure repeatable results when defining tasks is through the use of a model to guide the analysis. The factors which must be considered are:

Scope of Work, Equipment Used, The Terrain-Weather-Time of Day, Planning Time, Workforce Quality, and the Public around the work (SETT-WP). The SETT-WP factors are then integrated into the 5-step Risk Management Process with the safest as practically achievable plan being implemented with the risk decision being made at the appropriate level. The analysis is captured and documented by the project management team or Superintendent through the development of a work plan and Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). The Superintendent and Forman use the JHA to create a daily Task Hazard Analysis (THA) and brief the workers from the THA (See Appendix F).

B.2.5.1. Scope: The project work plan must be clearly stated, briefed back and rehearsed if possible, to ensure project team members are capable of performing each task within the scope. Reduced clarity in scope or work plan increases probability for inefficient production and or mishaps. Each and every member of the team should be able to do a mental walk through of their tasks, similar to the way members of a football team do for each and every play the team performs on the football field. The more training and rehearsal, the lower the risk during execution.

B.2.5.2. Equipment: Equipment includes the condition, serviceability, inspection, status of maintenance, applicability for the chosen scope, and the training of operators. Basically, project planners must ensure the equipment, scope, and operators are compatible. If not, the chances of project failure and risks are increased.

B.2.5.3. Terrain/Weather: Terrain, weather, time of day, and site specific constraints can have a profound effect on project accomplishment. Terrain can be very difficult to cross under ideal conditions and be totally impassable in rain, snow, or similar atmospheric conditions. Terrain and weather have completely changed the course and outcome of entire projects. Project planning requires constant forecasting and in many cases, long term forecasts and pattern assessments, to determine the best time to accomplish certain aspects of the scope. The weather and terrain will, in many instances, necessitate a different approach to planning, training, and accomplishing tasks. Site specific constraints must be incorporated into risk assessments to prevent production delays.

B.2.5.4. Time: Planning time directly affects Project Managers and planners’ ability to properly assess all of the SETT-WP factors. If planning time is short, the ability to assess and mitigate identified hazards can be severely reduced.

Reduced planning times interfere with rehearsals and refresher training. If a team is trained to standards and frequently performs the tasks associated with its scope, then shorter planning times will have less negative effect than in an untrained team.

B.2.5.5. Workers Available: The experience, training, motivation, fatigue level, and morale of the team are a few of the risk factors to consider when planning a project. In most cases, and in accident history, many mishaps are related to human error and are directly attributable to the aforementioned factors.

Project teams that train to standard and accept nothing less, perform to standard. If a worker cannot measure up to the standards of the team, the project manager must make critical decisions and develop countermeasures to compensate for the non-standard performers. The scope must be planned and assessed to ensure that the weakest link in the chain, usually the newest or least proficient worker, does not cause a failure.

B.2.5.6. Public (The affect the project has on the public and non-construction personnel): The projects that are performed are located within areas that are accessible to the public. During the execution of the project, consideration must be made to maintain their safety and protect them from mishaps.

B.2.6. Step 1, continued from B.2.5, is to identify the hazards associated with the Superintendent’s and Forman’s tasks. Hazards are developed based on the tasks identified above. Hazard identification is effectively completed with input from Foremen and Laborers. This task should not be attempted by supervisory personnel alone.

B.2.7. Step 2 is to assess the hazard or measure the risk associated with the Superintendent’s and Forman’s tasks. The goal of risk measurement is for all leaders to measure risk with precision. Uniformity in risk measurement will allow leaders to manage the risk even if accuracy is off a little. Define the severity in both human injury and in dollars as mentioned above. Define probability as follows: Frequent (99%), Likely (75%), Occasional (50%), Seldom (25%), Unlikely (1%). By using a specific definition for each category, individual bias and subjectivity will be minimized and uniformity in risk measurement will increase.

B.2.8. Step 3 is to develop controls and make risk decisions:

B.2.5.1. Develop controls from the hazards identified in 2.5.7 above. The goal of control development is to mitigate to the lowest practicable level the risk with each hazard. No work is permitted to proceed with risk levels above “moderate” after controls are implemented.

B.2.5.2. The team must build from continual assessment of the work in order to develop effective controls. All members of the team must implement controls to mitigate hazards; regularly reassess and update them to ensure that they are performing the tasks and operations in a safe manner; without unnecessarily hindering the project.

B.2.5.3. The Contractor’s Project Manager must sign off on all JHA’s declaring the residual risk to be acceptable.

B.2.9. Step 4 is to implement controls:

B.2.5.1. Assign responsibility to lead workers to ensure that the controls are implemented.

B.2.5.2. Review controls prior to planned work ensuring that all controls are completed and available.

B.2.10. Step 5 is to supervise and evaluate:

B.2.5.1. Assign responsibility to supervise the work to ensure that controls stay implemented and evaluate effectiveness.

B.2.5.2. Conduct daily site audits to ensure that no unidentified tasks or hazards are present and that all controls are implemented.

B.2.5.3. At the conclusion of the work, review the entire risk assessment to determine if all tasks were identified, all hazards identified, the controls implemented were effective, and that the risk levels were accurate.

B.3. The Contractor must have individual work crews develop a Task Hazard Analysis (THA) for their daily work. This THA must be developed, translated, if necessary and created prior to the commencement of work, signed by all workers involved in the task, and kept on their person or nearby equipment while work is in progress. The THA must be updated as changes occur, and the changes must be immediately briefed to the work crews.

B.4. The Contractor will ensure that all project personnel have been trained on your IPP.

B.5. The IPP SOP is an ongoing cyclical process that improves with each cycle. At the completion of each portion of scope the contractor must conduct an after action review to assess the veracity of the JHA to ascertain improvements for the next cycle.

B.6. Pre-Activity Check Lists will be created for all work that has an initial risk level of moderate or greater. No work with high or extremely high residual risks is allowed. See the attachment below for an example check list.

Example Pre-Activity Checklist

(All items on the pre-activity checklist must be affirmed prior to an activity beginning)

• Is the contractor’s safety representative immediately available onsite?

• Have all workers involved in the activity received and understood a site specific orientation?
