6. 6 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 6 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 Key Point The primary focus of the Construction Safety Plan is Airport Operations, not the construction itself.

7. 7 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 7 What is a Construction Safety Plan? A Construction Safety Plan is NOT: An OSHA Safety Plan (29 CFR 1926) The Project Plans and Specifications Description of proposed or finished work (i.e. Sign & Marking Plan)

8. 8 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 8 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 Inspectors may participate in Pre-design/Pre- construction Conferences when a construction project is complex or there is significant work that might impact compliance with Part 139. Inspectors review submitted CSPPs during project design phase. Final Inspection of Completed Projects. –Upon completion of a construction project involving complex or significant work, the Inspector, may accompany the FAA project engineer/manager to assure compliance with Part 139 requirements.

10. 10 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 10 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.309, Safety Areas Occasionally, FAA contract construction crews have compromised the integrity of the runway/taxiway safety areas by creating ruts or leaving construction equipment or material there. Airport must notify the FAA local Technical Operations Office to repair the damage.

11. 11 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 11 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.311, Marking, signs, and lighting Ensure that temporary marking and lighting of areas servicing air carrier aircraft meet standards required by Section 139.311. Reminder: Reference 150/5210-22, Airport Certification Manual –Submit signage and marking changes to Dennis O’Donnell no later than the 90% design stage and prior to bidding of project

12. 12 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 12 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.333, Protections of NAVAIDs Procedures must be established to prevent the construction of facilities on the airport that would derogate the operation of both electronic and visual NAVAIDs or the air traffic control facilities on the airport. Coordinate with FAA Tech Ops. Such procedures are intended to prevent activities associated with construction and/or maintenance from shutting down, interrupting, or altering NAVAID signals. –CSPP should address vehicle parking location, equipment and material storage locations near NAVAIDs.

13. 13 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 13 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.329 Pedestrians and ground vehicles AC 150/5210-20, Change 1, Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports Page 3, para 8 states in part that the airport operator should give special consideration to training temporary operators, such as construction workers, even if escort service is being provided. Page 4, para 11 provides guidance for non-routine operations such as airside construction and states that planning meetings associated with such activities offer an opportunity to revise driving rules and regulation, communications and procedures, and air traffic control procedures as well as other important operations issues.

14. 14 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 14 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.329 Pedestrians and ground vehicles cont’d AC 150/5370-2E Page 3, para 2-2 l. includes vehicle identification to help track the number of vehicles at a construction site during any time. Page 5, para 2-4 includes vehicle and pedestrian access routes for airport construction projects must be controlled to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. This includes aircraft movement and non-movement areas. The airport operator should develop and coordinate a construction vehicle plan with airport tenants, contractors, and the ATCT. The safety plan should include specific vehicle and pedestrian requirements. –Ground Vehicle Operations Training Manual (approved in ACM)

15. 15 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 15 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.341, Identifying, Marking, and Reporting Construction and Other Unserviceable Areas The certificate holder is responsible for establishing procedures, such as the review of plans, to protect utilities, cables, wires, pipelines, and other underground facilities prior to construction activities. Must follow AC 150/5370-2, Operational Safety on Airports During Construction. Mark and, if appropriate light in a manner authorized (AC guidance): –Each construction area and unserviceable area that is on or adjacent to any movement area or any other area of the airport on which air carrier aircraft operate. –Each item of construction equipment and each construction roadway that might affect the safe movement of aircraft on the airport. –Any area adjacent to a NAVAID that, if traversed, could cause derogation of the signal or failure of the NAVAID. –The certificate holder must have procedures in place to repair any damage that occurs to an existing utility.

16. 16 Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region Airports Conference March 2, 2011 16 Construction Safety Phasing Plans and Part 139 139.341, Identifying, Marking, and Reporting Construction and Other Unserviceable Areas cont’d AC 150/5370-2E Page 1, para 1-2 b.(6) the restriction of construction vehicles to construction areas by flagging and barricading, erecting temporary fencing, or providing escorts, as appropriate.
