1. 1 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Construction Safety W. R. Casey NSLS-II ESH Manager CFAC 5/8/08

2. 2 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Construction Safety DOE & BNL have high expectations for construction safety Construction injuries and incidents can pose significant risk to project - delay in construction activities can seriously impact project schedule Construction safety requires high priority and visibility to minimize risks to workers and the project This is a very important issue to the project

3. 3 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Preparation for Construction Safety Major topic in conventional facility workshop in Feb. Much effort to apply lessons learned from SNS and LCLS Construction Project ESH Plan has been prepared Safety expectations was a major topic at pre-bid conference for potential GC bidders New ESH manager has significant experience in construction safety and DOE construction projects Positions for two construction safety engineers have been approved

4. 4 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES ESH Vision – “ Best in Class ” Our message to all personnel involved in the construction program We believe all accidents and injuries are preventable We seek an injury and incident free work environment Safety will never be compromised as the result of schedule or cost pressures If we can not do it safely; we will not do it

5. 5 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Keys to Achieving the Vision Clearly defined expectations that are communicated effectively to the contractor and sub-contractors A GC who: Understands the expectations and is committed to achieving them. Has demonstrated on previous jobs that they can manage a construction site safely. Recognition and reward for successful performance Financial incentives

6. 6 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Clearly Defined Expectations NSLS-II has defined ESH program expectations in the Construction Project ESH Plan This plan will be finalized shortly. Draft 2 completed – utilizes the best from Liro-Gilbane, SNS and LCLS Considerable effort to make it consistent with the RFP Key elements of this plan were communicated to prospective bidders during the pre-qualification process to make sure that they understand the nature of the ESH expectations. The plan will be distributed to potential bidders as part of the bid solicitation process

7. 7 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Key Features of Construction ESH Plan The GC must submit a written Health & Safety Plan (HASP) for review and approval before work begins Their plan must be consistent with the requirements established in the NSLS-II Construction Project ESH Plan Plan must identify hazards and controls for all construction work (phase hazard analyses) and discuss training and qualification requirements for workers Plan must include daily pre-job briefings Sub-contractors must comply with general contractor ’ s HASP

8. 8 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Contractors Health and Safety Plan (Cont.) Must include frequent documented communication regarding safety (e.g. daily work planning sessions and weekly toolbox on important topics) Daily safety inspections will be performed, documented - issues promptly corrected Must include a well defined disciplinary policy for safety infractions All incidents and accidents will be promptly reported and investigated find out how the accident could have been avoided and communicate build an open atmosphere where personnel feel encouraged to report

9. 9 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Pre-Qualification Process Contractors must demonstrate a commitment to safety and an effective construction safety program We will want to review: Prior 3 years DART rates Prior 3 years OSHA 300 logs Prior 3 years history of OSHA or EPA citations Prior 3 years EMR ESH Program documents Experience and qualification requirements for ESH personnel Training requirements for key personnel and all workers

10. 10 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Important Bid Evaluation Factors Adequacy of corporate health and safety plan Superior Performance – we desire EMR < 0.81 DART rate < 0.6 (average for DOE Construction) Contractor Controlled Insurance Program (CCIP) Drug – testing program Occupational Medical program, including on-site nurse

11. 11 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Important Bid Evaluation Factors (cont.) Experience of key project personnel – Project manager, Site Superintendent, Site ESH Lead Feed-back from previous customers Conditions at a current job-site as determined by unscheduled walk- through Provisions for flow-down of safety incentive program to key personnel and workers, including sub-contractors

12. 12 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Contract Provisions Safety incentive award for GC and sub-contractors will be performance based - non-compliance with HASP provisions and other poor safety performance will result in reductions or complete loss of incentive. Sub-contractor EMR, DART rates, and OSHA logs must be submitted to NSLS-II for review. CCIP must cover sub-contractors

13. 13 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Key ESH Responsibilities for Safety during Construction GC/sub-contractors are directly responsible to provide safe working environment and to comply with all provisions of HASP GC/Sub-contractors will be responsible for fines and penalties issued by DOE GC/sub-contractors will receive financial incentives based on ESH performance NSLS-II has ultimate responsibility - establishes performance expectations and monitors performance Holds GC accountable for safety performance. Poor performance can result in withholding of incentives, removal of personnel, or termination of contract.

14. 14 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES Safety Incentives Plan to offer $2,000,000 in incentives $500,000 annually (to be awarded 3X), and end of project award of $500,000 Award based on superior performance compared to normal industry injury rates – must be < than DOE Construction average for ½ maximum $5,000 reduction in award for significant OSHA violations or for repeated failure to comply with less significant requirements no annual award regardless of rates if there is a fatality, loss of limb or an injury to the head resulting in permanent disability at the work site.

15. 15 BROOKHAVEN SCIENCE ASSOCIATES DOE Construction Ave. is Starting Point for Incentive Injuries/100 FTEs-yr DOE & Industry data for FY 06
