Presentation transcript:

Safety and Risk Management Construction by nature is……. ….inherently dangerous, with a high degree of hazard and risk. The toll of construction accidents is high in terms of both costs ($) and human suffering Accidents add a tremendous burden of needless and avoidable expense Financial loses pale when compared to bodily injury and death, and the resulting human, social impacts

Safety and Risk Management Construction accidents……. ….add $10 billion annually to construction cost Insurance (such as workmen’ compensation) can be purchased to protect the contractor from certain direct expenses Accidents also involve substantial costs that are not insurable, referred to as hidden or indirect cost

Safety and Risk Management Economic considerations Direct costs –Medical –Compensation Indirect or hidden costs –Time lost from work by the injured party –Loss in earning power –Economic loss to injured worker’s family –Lost time by fellow workers

Safety and Risk Management Economic considerations Indirect or hidden costs -- continued –Loss of efficiency by breaking up crew –Cost to train new or replacement employees –Damage to equipment and tools –Loss of production –Cost incurred by delays –Failure to meet contract demands (completion, etc) –Overhead costs associated with disruption of work

Safety and Risk Management Economic considerations Indirect or hidden costs -- continued –Cleanup and repair costs –Administrative costs of investigations and reports –Increased insurance premiums –Loss of future projects due to adverse publicity –Cost of fines –Many, many others difficult to quantify

Safety and Risk Management Accidents……. ….are defined as events occurring by chance from unknown causes. In reality, construction accidents are: –the result of negligence –needless –avoidable

Safety and Risk Management As construction managers……. ….we must concern ourselves with the issues of safety for several reasons: 1.Legal obligations imposed by OSHA 2.Contract requirements 3.Direct and indirect financial impact (profit picture) 4.Corporate & personal legal liability (fiduciary duty) 5.Ethical duty and moral obligation 6.Public image and reputation

Safety and Risk Management The courts charge the employer (management) with the responsibility of : 1.Providing a safe place to work 2.Providing safe appliances, tools, and equipment 3.Developing and enforcing safety rules and regulations 4.Providing instructions regarding employment dangers

Safety and Risk Management Basic elements of a Safety Program as identified by the National Safety Council 1.Declaration of management policy and leadership 2.Assignment of responsibility, authority, and accountability 3.Maintenance of safe working conditions 4.Establishment of safety training 5.Establishment of an accident reporting and analysis system

Safety and Risk Management Basic elements of a Safety Program (continued) 6.Creation of medical and first aid programs 7.Acceptance of personal accountability by employees Keys to a successful safety program –Support and enforcement from top management –Front line management (superintendents & foremen) consistently following and enforcing the safety program –All employees recognizing that safety is everyone’s job

Safety and Risk Management Safety Program Goals…….should be: »Achievable »Demanding »Supported by company resources »Well-defined »Measurable »Monitored

Safety and Risk Management Occupational Safety and Health Act….OSHA Established by Congress in 1970 Part of the Executive Branch -- Department of Labor Goal of providing a safe and healthful workplace for all Americans OSHA Standards are part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) published in the Federal Register OSHA Standards are found in Title 29 of the CFR –General Industry = 1910.xxx – Construction Industry = 1926.xxx

Safety and Risk Management

OSHA….Key Standards Sec 5 (a)(1) “Each Employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees” -- General Duty Clause Sec 5 (a)(2) “Each employer shall comply with OSHA standards promulgated under this act”

Safety and Risk Management OSHA….Key Standards Sec 5 (b) “Each Employee shall comply with OSHA safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this act which are applicable to his (or her) actions and conduct” (a) Rules of Construction – “In no case shall the prime contractor be relieved of overall responsibility for compliance with the requirements of this part of for all work performed under the contract”

Safety and Risk Management OSHA….Key Standards “Competent Person” means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.

Safety and Risk Management OSHA Inspections Reasons for inspection –Investigation of imminent dangers –Fatality and Catastrophic Investigation Fatality(s) 5 or more employees hospitalized for 24 hours –Complaints and referrals –Programmed Inspections – based on loss data –Target Program Initiatives

Safety and Risk Management OSHA Inspections Right to inspect Credentials Opening Conference Employer and Employee “Walkaround” Rights Inspection Process Employee Interviews Closing Conference

Safety and Risk Management Citations and Penalties (per violation) Non Serious – up to $7,000 Serious – between $1,500 to $5,000 Willful Violations – Up to $70,000 Repeat violations – original penalty multiplied from 1 to 10 times Criminal Penalties

Safety and Risk Management Considerations When Assessing Penalties Gravity of violation Good Faith Compliance Efforts History of Previous Violations  Penalties can be adjusted down as much as 95%

Advance Warning -- signs, variable message boards, arrow panels, public announcements (newspaper and radio), websites Channelizing Devices -- cones, drums, tubular markers, barricades, vertical panels, warning lights, pavement markings, reflective pavement markers (RPM’s)

Safety and Risk Management Traffic Control Elements……. Barrier -- physical separation to protect the work space –should not be used for merging taper –should be interconnected for maximum performance (minimum length of 100’) –require end protection such as crash cushions, tapered ends, impact attenuators –reflector panels or warning lights mounted on top for delineation

Safety and Risk Management Work Zone Components……. Barrier -- physical separation to protect the work space –Advance Warning Area –Transition Area –Buffer space –Work Space –Termination Area
