A primary objective on every BSA Corporation project is providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees and
Subcontractors. All personnel who will work for BSA Corporation on this project shall utilize this Project Safety Manual. This includes
all BSA Corporation employees, Subcontractors, their sub and sub-Subcontractors, vendors, and visitors. Any person observed by
BSA Corporation personnel who does not abide by these basic construction safety practices and procedures will not be allowed to
continue work on this project. The site Superintendent, Project Manager, and Safety Director shall have the authority to enforce
measures to ensure that all work is carried out in a safe manner and in compliance with this Program as well as all applicable
regulations. If necessary they will stop work and, when situations warrant, demand violators leave the project. No BSA Corporation
employee or any of our Subcontractors will be allowed to work in conditions that are unsafe.
Subcontractors, supervisors, and foremen shall be held accountable for the performance of their employees and crews. In serious,
and/or repeat offenses, the responsible supervisor(s) may also be required to leave the project to assure the safety of others. The
Subcontractor shall bear the consequences involved should work be halted, or personnel are removed from the project in good faith for
the protection of others, due to safety violations. These consequences, may include, but not be limited to, delay and/or liquidated
damages, charges for stabilizing or repairing work left by the Subcontractor, charges for completion of the work, charges for safety
enforcement.
Administration
The following administrative procedures will be utilized on this project to ensure the success of the safety program:
All meetings will begin with Safety as the first topic of discussion.
All Subcontractors (and their sub-tier Subcontractors) shall submit a written safety program to the BSA Corporation Safety
Director for review. This program shall include:
Company safety administration procedures and personnel responsible for safety
Training requirements
Hazard analysis, and hazard control
Work site inspection procedures including documentation

Job site safety audits may be performed on a weekly basis by the BSA Project Management Team.
Toolbox talks will be provided by each Subcontractor on this project at least weekly and will cover topics relevant to the work
being performed. Toolbox talk topics and attendance records must be submitted to the BSA Project Manager each week.
1. Safety: Identifying potential hazards before beginning work and developing plans to address those hazards (Job Hazard
Analysis) will be an essential element of the safety program on this project. All personnel on site are required to follow all
safety-related rules and procedures and act in a professional courteous manner.
2. Health and Safety Plans: All Subcontractors are required to submit copies of their health and safety plans to BSA Corporation
along with a site-specific safety plan. These plans will be reviewed by BSA Corporation.
3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): ANSI approved hard-hats and proper foot wear shall be worn at all times. Safety
glasses will be required when drilling, grinding and all other activities where a potential eye injury could occur. Subcontractors
shall be responsible for providing and maintaining all PPE, as well as training employees on the proper use of PPE. Other
personal protective equipment (PPE) is to be worn whenever appropriate. At a minimum, all applicable OSHA standards must
be followed.
4. Housekeeping: All Subcontractors on this project will be expected to maintain their work area in a condition that is clean,
orderly and free from obvious hazards. Poor housekeeping on any BSA project is simply not acceptable. Specific measures
to maintain the condition of the work area will be:
I. Storage and lay-down areas should be coordinated with other Subcontractors and the BSA Superintendent.
II. All pedestrian walkways must be protected from debris.
III. Materials stored on-site must be kept to a minimum to allow the greatest area available to work.

V. Allow sufficient room around stored materials for safe access to both the materials and work area.
VI. Keep in mind other trades may need access to areas near your storage (coordinate with the BSA Superintendent).
VII. All areas must remain broom clean as work progresses. Accumulations of debris that causes a hazard during a work
shift will not be allowed. Debris and waste material must be removed from the work area daily to maintain a safe and
uncluttered condition.
VIII. Each Subcontractor is responsible for removing waste material from the work area to the appropriate dumpster or
disposal area. BSA Corporation will back-charge Subcontractors for any cleaning required which the Subcontractor
does not perform.
IX. All rolling objects such as pipe, rod, and conduit shall be chocked, blocked, or racked.
X. Breaks and lunch will only be allowed in areas designated by the BSA Superintendent.
5. Safety Meetings: All Subcontractors will have weekly safety meetings and all employees must attend. Meeting topics should
be job specific. Attendance records are to be submitted to the BSA Superintendent weekly. Subcontractor requisitions will be
processed contingent upon this requirement.
6. Inspections: Job site inspections may happen at any time. BSA Corporation routinely conducts informal safety inspections, as
should each subcontractor. If problems are discovered, abate the problem immediately.
7. Fire Extinguishers: BSA Corporation will provide general use fire extinguishers on site. All Subcontractors engaging in hot
work shall provide their own fire extinguisher at the area the work is being performed. These extinguishers must be the ABC
type, have a current inspection sticker, are fully charges, and inspected daily.
8. Incident Reporting: All incidents, accidents, injuries, and near misses must be reported to BSA Corporation no matter how
minor. All incidents should be reported to the BSA Superintendent and/or BSA Project Manager immediately. (Incident
Investigation Form, Appendix B).
9. Eye Wash Stations: Locations of the nearest eyewash stations will be identified during the site specific safety briefing.
10. Hazardous Materials: The quantity of hazardous materials (fuels, solvents, oils, paints, etc.) brought on the job site should be
kept to a minimum. Any hazardous chemicals (as defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard) must be properly
labeled and accompanied by a material safety data sheet (MSDS). A listing of all MSDS sheets shall be given to the BSA
Project Management Team. Flammable liquid (including gasoline and diesel fuel) must be kept in approved and clearly
labeled safety cans. Any unused hazardous materials must be removed from the site by the Subcontractor who brought them
to the job.
11. Drugs and Alcohol: The use of illicit drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited. Consumption of alcohol or drugs during or prior to
work, which would impair judgment or performance is prohibited. Violators will be subject to disciplinary action.
12. Soliciting: Soliciting other employees for any reason is prohibited. Distribution of literature or posting of unauthorized
materials is prohibited. Any material to be distributed or posted on the job site must be approved by the BSA Project Manager.
13. Fighting: Fighting, provoking a fight, or engaging in horseplay is strictly prohibited. Employees who engage in such activities
will be discharged from the site.
14. Dress Code: All employees are required to wear, at a minimum, shirts with 4 sleeves and long pants. Shorts sweat pants,
and tank tops are prohibited. Printed material on apparel shall be limited to Subcontractor identification only. Long hair must
be tied back and excessive or hanging jewelry should not be worn.
15. Personal Electronic Equipment: The use of portable radios, personal cassette players and tape recorders is prohibited on this
site.
16. Company Vehicles: All company vehicles must have a functional back-up alarm, working seat belts, company identification,
registration and current insurance before entering the site. No one will be allowed to ride in a vehicle without using
manufacturers seat belt. Parked vehicles cannot obstruct any roadway or travel paths near the building footprint.
17. Temporary Utilities & Facilities: BSA Corporation will provide toilet facilities. BSA Corporation will provide reasonable power
within 100 feet of the work area, temporary lighting, and accessible water for the project. Subcontractors will provide drinking
water for their employees.
18. Harassment: Harassment based upon age, race, sex, religion, national origin or sexual orientation is strictly prohibited on this
site. Violators of this policy will be dealt with immediately and severely.
19. Compressed Gas Cylinders: Compressed gas cylinders shall be properly used, stored, handled and transported. All
regulators shall be leak tested daily before any operations occur.
Hazard Communication
All Subcontractors who work on this project for BSA Corporation are required to have a Hazard Communication Program. Hazard
Communication is an OSHA mandated program (29 CFR 19.10.1200) that is meant to provide employees with information and training
about the hazardous chemicals in their workplace as well as protective measures to prevent adverse effects from exposure to
chemicals in the workplace. The Hazard Communication Standard may also be referred to as Hazcom or the Right to Know Law.
Each employers Hazard Communication program must address the following items:
An important part of any Hazard Communication Program is the method used to manage Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
container labeling. These two items are what let the employees know about the specific hazards of a specific chemical. All
Subcontractors are required to provide BSA Corporation with a copy of their Hazard Communication Program and copies of the MSDS
of chemical used on this site. All chemicals used on this site must be labeled. Any chemicals not labeled or accompanied by a MSDS
will not be allowed on this site.
To ensure that all potential workplace hazards have been identified and addressed, all Subcontractors will be required to develop and
document Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for all significant activities before beginning the work. The process of developing an effective
JHA involves breaking the job down into a sequence of steps, identifying potential hazards for each step, and determining what
preventive measures will be required. For the JHA to be most effective, affected workers should participate in its development since
they know better than anyone else how the work will be performed. At a minimum, all affected workers must read and sign the
completed JHA. The completed JHAs shall be available to the BSA Project Manager or Superintendent.
BSA Corporation requires 100% fall protection whenever working six feet or more above a lower surface. The most effective method
and preferred method of protecting workers from falls is to provide railings that meet OSHA requirements (29 CFR 1926.500-503).
These railings must be capable of withstanding a force of 200 pounds in an outward or downward direction without failure. The railing
system must include a top rail 42 above the working surface, a mid-rail midway between the top rail and the working surface, and toe
boards (at least 4).
Where acceptable railings cannot be used, a personal fall arrest system or other acceptable fall protection method will be required. A
personal fall arrest system must consist of a full body harness, shock absorbing lanyard, and an anchor point capable of supporting
5000 pounds per worker. The system must be rigged so that the maximum free fall is no greater than six feet.
Any work requiring entry into permit required confined spaces must be carried out in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.146. The key
requirements are:
Lockout/Tagout
Lockout/Tagout shall be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.147 and must be employed whenever maintenance, servicing, or demolition
work is being performed on equipment, machinery, or systems where the unexpected energization of the machines or equipment or the
release of stored energy could cause injury to employees.
Training must be provided for all employees who will be authorized to lock and tagout equipment or systems as well as for employees
whose work could be affected by a lockout/tagout.
Notify all affected employees that a lockout will be employed and the reason why.
Coordinate with the BSA Corporation
Shut off the equipment or system by the normal shut off procedure (on/off switch, button, valve, etc.)
Place energy isolating device so the equipment or system is isolated from its energy source
Ensure that any stored energy (hydraulic systems, steam, air, heat, water, etc.) has been dissipated or restrained
Ensure no one is exposed and then turn the equipment or system on to verify that a zero energy state is maintained
Once the work is complete, ensure that everyone is out of the immediate area and all equipment has been restored to its
proper condition
Remove all lockout/tagout devices so that equipment or system can be restored to full operation. Locks can only be removed
by the person who installed them.
A walk through of the system will be performed by the BSA competent person.
Excavation
All excavation work on this project must comply with the OSHA requirements contained in 29 CFR 1926, Subpart P. Prior to beginning
any excavation activity, the Subcontractor must notify Sunshine Locators and any underground utilities must be located.
If any personnel will be entering any excavation, the following precautions must be taken:
A safe means of access/egress must be provided (stairs, ladders, ramps, etc.) such that no employee would need to travel
more than 25 feet to reach the means of egress/access
The excavation must be protected from cave in by approved sloping, benching, shoring, trench boxes, or other professionally
engineered system.
All spoil piles, material, and equipment must be located at least three feet from the edge of the excavation
A competent person must inspect all excavations daily prior to employees working in the excavation
If changing subsurface conditions can be reasonably anticipated the competent person will be required to provide continuous
inspections of the excavation
Employees shall not work in an excavation where water has accumulated
Where hazardous atmospheres (oxygen deficiency, flammable gases or vapors, or toxic contaminants) may exist, air
monitoring must be performed to ensure that the air quality is acceptable for entry
Employees entering deep and narrow excavations as defined in 29 CFR 1926.651(g)(2)(ii) will be required to wear a safety
retrieval device
Guardrails, barricades, or other acceptable protective systems must be used to prevent workers or the general public from falling into
any open excavation. Employees exposed to public vehicular traffic must wear warning vests.
Electrical Safety
The Construction Manager will provide reasonable power (120 volt) within 100 feet of the work area but each Subcontractor will be
responsible for providing any necessary electricity other than 120 volt. All use of electrical equipment must comply with relevant OSHA
requirements as defined in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) must be used for all electrical (120 volt)
equipment to protect employees from ground fault hazards. All GFCIs must be tested at the start of each day for proper
operation. The following general electrical safety precautions must also be used:
Only trained and authorized personnel shall perform welding (or flame cutting) operations on this project. The general safety
precautions for performing welding activities would include:
Welders shall use proper PPE including proper eyeshade protection, welding hood, long sleeves, welding jackets, welding
gloves, and any other PPE identified in the JHA.
Welding equipment shall be visually inspected daily prior to use.
Damaged or defective equipment must be immediately removed from service.
Combustible materials should be removed from the immediate area or protected from sparks and slag.
Welding cables shall be run a minimum of 7 overhead when possible and always protected from physical damage.
Welding screens shall be used to properly shield the arc.
Other personnel in the area must be protected from sparks and slag.
The use of cranes, hoists, derricks, and elevators can present serious safety concerns and must be carried out in compliance with
OSHA requirements 29CFR 1926 Subpart N. General requirements for the safe use of any of these pieces of equipment would
include:
Excessive exposure to loud noises (>85-90 decibels) can damage your hearing or cause a variety of other problems including elevated
blood pressure, headaches, and fatigue. Therefore, any employees exposed to noise levels of 85 dB or above must receive Hearing
Awareness training and wear approved hearing protection. Earplugs and earmuffs are the most common forms of hearing protection.
Each hearing protection device is assigned a noise Reduction Rating (NRR). The NRR should be used in determining what type of
hearing protection is acceptable for each situation. For instance, if the noise level in an area was 90 dB and the NRR on the earplugs
you were using was 30, your actual noise exposure would be 60 dB, a safe level.
Respiratory Protection
Engineering controls such as ventilation or containment are the most effective means of protecting against inhalation exposures to
airborne contaminants. When these forms of controls are not feasible, respiratory protective equipment will be required. To be
effective, however, the contaminant and its concentration must be identified, the respirator must be properly selected, used, and
maintained, and any person using a respirator must be properly trained. Any use of respirators on this project must comply with the
OSHA requirements described in 29CFR 1910.134. Training fit testing and a thorough medical evaluation as required in the OSHA
standard must be completed before respiratory protective equipment can be used.
Asbestos is found in a wide variety of building materials (roofing shingles, flooring tiles, roofing and flooring mastics, insulating
materials, etc.) and is common in buildings built prior to 1980.
Any materials known or suspected to contain asbestos within the scope of this project will be abated by licensed asbestos abatement
Subcontractors. If there are any questions or concerns about known or suspected asbestos containing materials, the BSA Project
Manager should be notified immediately.
Lead is commonly added to industrial paints because of its characteristic to resist corrosion. Any work involving welding, cutting,
brazing, blasting, etc., on lead paint surfaces could result in employee exposure to lead. Activities that may disrupt painted surfaces
should only be carried out after the paint has been tested to ensure that it does not contain lead. If paint is found to contain lead, a
licensed abatement Subcontractor should be used to remove the lead hazard. If there are any questions related to lead hazards on this
project, they should be directed to the BSA Project Manager.
Emergency Procedures
In the event of an injury or illness that requires emergency medical personnel, employees should use the following procedure:
Notify emergency medical personnel by calling 911. You should be able to tell the emergency operator where you are, what
the nature of the emergency is, and how many people are involved.
Administer first aid.
If possible, have someone meet the ambulance outside so they can be shown where the injured party is located.
Notify the BSA Project Manager or Superintendent.
In the event of an emergency that requires employees to evacuate the work area, all employees shall follow this emergency evacuation
procedure:
Upon learning of an emergency, all employees shall proceed calmly to their designated emergency assembly areas
Employees should listen for special instructions. Foremen shall take a head count to ensure all employees are present.
Employees must not re-enter the work area until informed that it is safe to do so by emergency response personnel or project
management personnel.
Injury Management
BSA Corporation has an aggressive injury management program, which helps to ensure that our employees receive the best care.
BSA Management is informed of any injuries in the field, and sees that injuries are properly and accurately reported and recorded when
required.
All injuries, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately. Copies of all incident reports (First Report of Injury Forms),
investigation reports, and other paperwork shall be submitted within 24 hours to the BSA Project Manager. Additionally, BSA
Corporation will conduct an accident investigation concurrently with the employer.
It is strongly suggested by BSA Corporation that all Subcontractors adopt an aggressive injury management program if not already in
place. This program will reduce your OSHA Recordable Cases, will save money in insurance and lost time costs, and will allow your
employees to return to work as soon as possible.
Safety Violations
All Subcontractors will be required to comply with all applicable safety regulations and requirements, specifically Federal OSHA
standards and BSA Corporation safety program (the more stringent requirement will prevail). If a Subcontractor fails to meet these
requirements, BSA Corporation reserves the right to issue a safety violation. All safety violations will be assessed against the
Subcontractor, not the Subcontractors employee.
Subcontractors found in non-compliance with any of the applicable safety rules or regulations will receive a Notice of Non-
Compliance, either oral or written. The violation must be abated immediately by the Subcontractor. Failure to abate the violation or
continued failure to comply with the Basic Safety Rules and Regulations may result in a monetary fine. The following table describes
the amount of the fines which may be assessed for specific safety violations. BSA Corporation reserves the right to assess a fine on
any safety violations not specifically covered below.
Employee Behavior
No Subcontractor shall use, possess, purchase, sell, transfer or be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other controlled substances
on the work site, or while operating equipment. Additionally, substance abuse that affects a Subcontractors work performance or
results in the Subcontractor being under the influence or impaired while working is also prohibited.
Substance abuse includes the misuse of alcohol, drugs, or other substances that have known mind or function altering effects on a
person. Prohibited substances include any psychoactive or controlled substances, except as legally prescribed by a licensed physician
and used in accordance with the prescription.
Consistent with our policy of equal employment opportunity, harassment in the workplace based on a persons race, sex, sexual
orientation, religion, national origin, age or disability will not be tolerated. Any employee caught in such activities will be subject to
immediate discipline.
Subcontractors are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Foul language, rude gestures and offending clothing
have no place on the job site.
Aerial Lifts
All aerial lifts (scissor lifts, extensible or articulating boom platforms, or ladder truck) used on any BSA Corporation project must comply
with OSHA requirements (29 CFR 1926.453), the manufacturers specifications and this safety plan. Aerial lifts may only be operated on
solid surfaces that are free from obstructions or holes that could cause the lift to topple.
Aerial lift operators must receive training on the specific equipment (manufacturer and model) they will operate. Only employees who
are properly trained and certified shall operate aerial lifts. Proof of training must be maintained on the job site. Employees operating or
working from aerial lifts must be equipped with a personal fall arrest system that is tied off to an acceptable anchorage (5000-pound)
within the lift. Employees must always stand firmly on the floor of the basket and shall not climb, sit or stand on the rails or edge of the
basket.
Lift controls shall be tested each day prior to use to determine that they are in safe working condition. Boom platforms (extendible or
articulating) must have both platform (upper) and lower controls. The upper controls must be within easy reach of the operator and the
lower controls must provide for overriding the upper controls. Lower level controls must not be operated unless permission has been
obtained from the employee in the lift except in the case of an emergency.
When aerial lifts are operated in the vicinity of energized electrical equipment a minimum safe approach distance (MSAD) must be
maintained in compliance with the table below. The insulated portion of an aerial lift shall not be altered in any way that might reduce
its insulting value. Assume all electrical parts or wiring is energized unless known otherwise.
