This site-specific safety plan describes how Example Electric, Inc. will control the hazards of its electrical work at Retail Tenant Finish-Out, Suite 140 (sample). It supplements Example Electric, Inc.'s written safety programs and the general contractor's site safety requirements; it does not replace them.

Example Electric, Inc. keeps a copy of this plan on site, reviews it with the crew before work starts, and updates it when the scope, crew or site conditions change.

2.Safety policy

Example Electric, Inc. is committed to sending every worker home safe from Retail Tenant Finish-Out, Suite 140 (sample). Safety comes before schedule and cost.

Every worker has the authority and the responsibility to stop work they believe is unsafe. No one will be disciplined for stopping work in good faith; the supervisor and the site safety representative resolve the concern before work resumes.

Workers follow this plan, Example Electric, Inc.'s safety rules and the general contractor's site rules. Supervisors enforce them consistently.

Riley Chen

Riley Chen (Foreman and Site Safety Representative) is Example Electric, Inc.'s site safety representative for this project and the general contractor's contact for safety matters. The safety representative makes sure this plan is followed, attends the general contractor's safety meetings and follows up on corrective actions.

The field supervisor leads daily pre-task planning, checks that workers have the training and equipment their work requires, and stops work when hazards are not controlled.

The competent persons for this job are able to identify existing and predictable hazards in their area of responsibility and are authorized to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

Each worker follows this plan, uses the required protective equipment, takes part in pre-task planning, and reports hazards, injuries and near misses to the supervisor immediately.

4.Drug and alcohol policy

Example Electric, Inc. keeps a drug- and alcohol-free workplace. No one works on this project under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or misused prescription drugs, and no one brings them onto the site.

Workers who take a medication that could affect their ability to work safely tell the field supervisor before starting work, without having to name the medication, so their work can be adjusted.

Example Electric, Inc. follows the general contractor's drug and alcohol testing requirements for this project, such as testing before site access, at random, after an incident and on reasonable suspicion, where the law allows them.

A supervisor who reasonably suspects that a worker is impaired removes the worker from work right away, arranges a safe ride home, and follows Example Electric, Inc.'s testing and discipline procedures.

5.Enforcement and discipline

Supervisors enforce this plan, Example Electric, Inc.'s safety rules and the general contractor's site rules the same way for every worker on Example Electric, Inc.'s crew.

Violations are handled in steps: a documented verbal warning, then a written warning, then removal from the project. Each step is recorded with the date, the rule broken and the corrective action, and the general contractor is told of every removal.

A serious violation can mean removal from the project the first time, for example working at height without the required fall protection, working on equipment that has not been locked out when this plan requires it, being impaired by alcohol or drugs, fighting or horseplay, or removing guardrails, covers or barricades without permission.

No worker is disciplined for reporting an injury, an illness, a near miss or a hazard.

6.Scope of work

Example Electric, Inc. will perform electrical work on the Retail Tenant Finish-Out, Suite 140 (sample) project at 2500 Example Commons Drive, Suite 140, Frisco, TX 75034 for general contractor Example Interiors, LLC.

Workers are instructed in recognizing and avoiding the unsafe conditions of their work and in the regulations that apply to it. Training is given in a language workers understand.

Crew languages on this project: English.

Example Electric, Inc. keeps a training roster for this project that lists each worker with the training and certifications they hold and their dates, such as OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour construction cards, equipment operator and rigging qualifications, and first aid and CPR. The roster, and the records and cards behind it, are available to the general contractor before each worker starts on site and on request.

8.Pre-task planning and safety meetings

At the start of each shift, and again when the work or the conditions change, the field supervisor and the crew complete a written pre-task plan for the day's work: the tasks, their hazards and controls from this plan, any new hazard found on site, and the permits and equipment the work needs. Every crew member signs it before starting work.

The field supervisor holds a toolbox talk with the crew at least once a week, on a topic tied to the current work and in a language the crew understands, and records the date, the topic and who attended.

Completed pre-task plans and toolbox talk records are kept on site with this plan and given to the general contractor on request.

The crew reviews the hazards and controls for each task in the daily pre-task plan, before the work begins, and adds any hazard found that day. Controls are listed in order of preference: eliminate the hazard, then engineering and work-practice controls, then personal protective equipment. A hazard that several tasks share has its controls listed under the first of those tasks.

If site conditions differ from this analysis, workers stop and the supervisor updates the plan with the crew before work continues.

10.Site-specific conditions

The preparer identified 7 site conditions at the Retail Tenant Finish-Out, Suite 140 (sample) site that add the following hazards to this plan: falls from ladders; falls and tip-overs from aerial and scissor lifts; struck by falling tools and materials; striking embedded conduit, cables or post-tension tendons; contact with energized circuits; arc flash and arc blast; temporary power and cord-connected tools; respirable crystalline silica dust; noise; powder-actuated tools; occupants and the public near the work. The table below lists the hazards each condition adds and where their controls are. Other site hazards identified by the preparer: Neighboring tenants stay open during the work; the service tie-in to the center's main switchboard is scheduled after hours with the property manager.

11.Written safety programs

ProgramWritten programWhy it appliesStandard
Hazard communication programRequired
  • Chemical products
  • 29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(1)
  • 29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(2)
  • 29 CFR 1926.59
Silica exposure control planRequired when: workers cut, drill, grind or otherwise disturb concrete, masonry or other silica-containing materials, unless exposure will stay below 25 micrograms per cubic meter (8-hour TWA) under any foreseeable conditions (29 CFR 1926.1153(a)).
  • Respirable crystalline silica dust
  • 29 CFR 1926.1153

Respiratory protection programRequired when: respirators are necessary to protect workers or the employer requires them (29 CFR 1910.134(c), applied to construction by 1926.103); workers whose only use is voluntary filtering facepieces (dust masks) need only the Appendix D information.
  • Respirable crystalline silica dust
  • 29 CFR 1910.134
  • 29 CFR 1926.103
Lockout/tagout proceduresRequired when: workers service or maintain machines or equipment in an operating facility under general-industry rules, which call for a written energy control program with documented procedures (29 CFR 1910.147). Construction work on circuits requires de-energized circuits and controls to be locked or tagged (29 CFR 1926.417), without a written program.
  • Contact with energized circuits
  • Arc flash and arc blast
  • Unexpected start-up or release of stored energy
  • 29 CFR 1910.147

Assured equipment grounding conductor programRequired when: the employer uses an assured equipment grounding conductor program instead of GFCIs on temporary-power receptacles (29 CFR 1926.404(b)(1)(iii)); GFCI protection needs no written program.
  • Temporary power and cord-connected tools
  • 29 CFR 1926.404
Hearing conservation programRecommended
  • Noise
  • 29 CFR 1926.52
  • 29 CFR 1926.101

Example Electric, Inc. keeps the written programs listed above separately from this plan and makes them available to the general contractor and to workers on request.

The field supervisor keeps the chemical inventory, a list of every hazardous chemical product Example Electric, Inc. brings on site by the product identifier on its safety data sheet, together with the safety data sheets in the site copy of this plan, where workers can read them during every shift (29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(1) and (g)(8)). Both are updated before a new product comes on site.

Example Electric, Inc. gives the general contractor a copy of the chemical inventory before work starts, and other employers on site can see its safety data sheets through the field supervisor (29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(2)).

Additional contacts
Center property manager: (469) 555-0195

In an emergency, call 911 first, then notify the field supervisor and the general contractor. Give the dispatcher the site address shown above and send someone to meet responders at the site entrance.

When an alarm sounds or the general contractor orders an evacuation, workers stop work, make equipment safe if they can do so without risk, and go to the assembly point: Front sidewalk at the center's monument sign. The supervisor accounts for every worker and reports anyone missing to responders.

First-aid supplies are kept at: Electrical gang box by the suite's rear door. Workers report every injury, however minor, to the supervisor right away.

The field supervisor checks the weather forecast before each shift and watches for severe weather alerts during it. When thunder is heard or lightning is seen, outdoor work stops and workers take shelter in a building or an enclosed vehicle until 30 minutes after the last thunder. Before high winds or other severe weather, the crew secures loose materials and equipment if it is safe to do so and follows the general contractor's severe weather plan.

14.Incident reporting

Workers report every injury, illness, near miss and property damage to the field supervisor immediately. The supervisor notifies the general contractor immediately, leaves the scene as it is except to help the injured or prevent further harm, and gives the general contractor a written incident report within 24 hours, on its form if it has one.

Example Electric, Inc. reports to OSHA any work-related fatality within 8 hours, and any work-related in-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye within 24 hours (29 CFR 1904.39).

The supervisor and the site safety representative investigate each incident to find its causes, correct them and share the lessons with the crew.

15.Coordination with the general contractor

Example Electric, Inc. follows the general contractor's site safety rules and attends its coordination and safety meetings. The field supervisor coordinates daily with Example Interiors, LLC and other trades on overlapping work such as overhead work, shutdowns and work in shared areas.

Example Electric, Inc. does not remove or alter guardrails, hole covers, barricades or other protection installed by others. If the work requires it, the field supervisor arranges it with the general contractor and replaces the protection before leaving the area.

Hazards created by other employers are reported to the general contractor, and Example Electric, Inc. workers stay out of areas where they would be exposed to uncontrolled hazards.

If Example Electric, Inc. brings lower-tier subcontractors to this project, it tells the general contractor before they start. Each lower-tier subcontractor follows this plan and the general contractor's site rules, attends the site orientation, and sends its workers' training records, and any lift plans or permits its work needs, to the general contractor through Example Electric, Inc.

16.Inspections

The field supervisor inspects the work area at the start of each shift and as work changes. Competent persons make the inspections that the controls in this plan call for, and workers check their tools and equipment before use.

Hazards found are corrected immediately, or the area is barricaded until they are. Example Electric, Inc. takes part in the general contractor's site inspections and closes out its findings.

17.Crew acknowledgment
