Project Safety Plan. This section applies to high or medium risk work in detail commensurate with the scope of the project. Contractors who perform medium or high risk-ranked contracted services shall submit a project-specific safety plan prior to the start of the project and/or at the pre-construction meeting. The Company representative will provide specific requirements of the format and/or forms to be completed. At a minimum, the project safety plan shall include a completed safety hazards checklist and the Emergency Contact Sheet. This format is ideal for short-duration, small and/or simple projects. This minimum safety plan shall be referred to as the SHORT VERSION. Long-term, large and/or complicated projects require the Contractor to complete a more detailed safety plan. This plan shall be referred to as the LONG VERSION. At a minimum, the LONG VERSION safety plan shall include the following elements: • Roles and responsibilities • Scope of work • Task and hazard identification and risk assessment of the hazards • Hazard mitigation/control procedures and work methods • Incident analysis and reporting • Compliance and monitoring • Roles and Responsibilities The plan shall identify who will be responsible for the project oversight and their qualifications. For example, if the work requires excavation, there must be someone on-site who would be qualified as a competent person as required by OSHA standard. For multi-employer work-sites, the general Contractor is responsible for all their employees and subcontractors. The safety plan shall clearly state this responsibility. Scope of Work - Briefly state the scope of work as provided by the Company. The plan must specifically address the project or contracted services requested by the Company. Therefore, the scope should be short and to-the-point. Task Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment - The Contractor shall identify all significant tasks and the anticipated hazards. The Company refers to this process as a risk assessment. The Contractor’s cost to provide adequate safety measures and to comply with Company requirements must be considered and budgeted in the bid/proposal. Hazard Mitigation Procedures and Work Methods - For each hazard, the Contractor shall specify measures that will be taken to mitigate these hazards. A table format is the simplest way to organize and present the task, hazard and mitigation steps. For example: Location: Substation Yard Task Hazard Mitigation Steps Material Handling Contact with overhea...
Project Safety Plan a project-specific document prepared by the Contractor prior to the pre- construction meeting. In this plan, the Contractor shall identify all significant tasks, their anticipated hazards and mitigation steps. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to conduct their own risk assessment and to ensure that their project safety plan addresses all anticipated hazards. Project/Service: a planned operation that is characterized by an activity, such as construction of a substation, which has a defined timeline and project close-out, and is typically secured under a one-time Purchase Order (PO). A service would be an activity that tends to be on- going and repetitive such as setting distribution poles where there is no defined project-close- out. Service work is typically secured under a Blanket PO. Both terms have been used interchangeably to describe the nature of the contracted service. Project Team: a group that consists of the individuals involved with Contractor procurement and management; typically, a purchasing agent, user and Health and Safety representative. Purchase Order (PO): an agreement/contract between the Company or one of its affiliated Companies and a Contractor to provide contracted services and/or materials. The PO is set up by Procurement. The term “Contract” and “PO” are similar and may be used interchangeably. A “Blanket PO” is set up for Contractors whose work is on-going. A “One-time PO” is set up for project work. Qualified Electrical Worker: a person knowledgeable in the construction and operation of the electrical power generation, transmission and distribution equipment involved and the associated hazards. Qualified Gas Worker: any Contractor who performs covered tasks shall be operator qualified (OQ) as defined in DOT Part 192 Subpart N and all applicable state requirements pursuant to the state the Contractor is working in. Additionally, any qualifications of Contractor personnel shall be in full accordance with the Company’s OQ Plan. Refer to the most current list of covered tasks in accordance with the Company OQ Program and the Northeast Gas Association (NGA). Requisition: a formal request by the user for Procurement to create a PO. Request for Proposal (RFP): also known as the bidding document. It consists of the documents prepared by the user and Procurement that are submitted to bidders. The bidders submit their proposals or bids in response to the RFP documents. Risk and Hazard: a hazard is an object, situation or activity that...
