2. ES&H Specification Training Goals 01065 Training Goals Upon completion of this training, workers will have an understanding of the specific environment, safety, and health requirements for performing construction and/or service work at Sandia National Laboratories. 2

3. What Contractor’s Workers Need to Know • Requirements in the FMOC 01065 ES&H Specification provides requirements to: • Protect the safety and health of workers, visitors, and public • Protect the environment and property • Requirements apply to the Prime Contractor, Subcontractors and Suppliers. 3

4. Who’s Who on FMOC Construction Sites? Sandia Construction Observer (SCO)–Field Representative who monitors, documents, and reports on progress, quality, and safety. Sandia Project Manager (SPM)–Person responsible for review and acceptance of the Contractor’s Contract Specific Safety Plan. Sandia Facilities Environment, Safety and Health Support Team– Representatives from Safety Engineering, Industrial Hygiene, Radiological Protection, Environmental Protection and Asbestos programs who provide ES&H support to FMOC Construction and Service Projects. 4

5. Contract-Specific Safety Plan • Prime Contractor must submit a Contract-Specific Safety Plan (CSSP)for FMOC review and acceptance prior to starting work activities. CSSP shall: • State the nature of work, potential hazards and their mitigation or how workers will be protected for each activity • All requirements and recommendations in the Jobsite Hazard Evaluation (JSHE) will be considered part of the CSSP unless an alternate hazard control/mitigation has been submitted for review and acceptance. • Subcontractor’s safety requirements shall be incorporated into the Prime Contractor’s CSSP. • Identify methods to inform workers of work, associated hazards and controls or how workers will be protected. • Keep copy of accepted CCSP on site with training documentation • Change in scope or additional hazards and controls require the submittal of an addendum for review and acceptance. 5

6. Suspension of Work • All workers have the right and the responsibility to suspend any work activity they identify as presenting imminent danger. • If work practices or conditions are not what you expect, or not what was described in your work package, STOP and talk with your supervisor for clarification. • Stop Work Order: When an official Stop Work Order is written, work can only be restarted with a written work release from SNL. • Hold Work Order: Documented to prevent work on a future task so further evaluation can be performed. Task can only be completed with a written Release Authorization 6

7. Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS) Prime Contractor’s CSSP shall identify methods the Prime Contractor will implement to address the following five principles of ISMS: 1) Plan Work - Develop work plans - Tasks are identified and prioritized - Resources are allocated 2) Analyze Hazards - Identify the hazards - Decide how serious the hazards are • Control Hazards - Determine what controls are required to protect personnel and the environment from the hazard - Use the control as required • Perform Work - Confirm that the work is ready and controls are in place - Work is performed safely 5) Feedback and Improve - Improve the task by reporting any problems or suggestions 7

8. Work Site Identification Signs and barricades are required for construction and service work to warn contractor personnel and work site visitors of specific hazards, and communicate safe bypass information to non-construction personnel in the vicinity of the site. Prime Contractor is responsible for controlling the work area/site. Report violation of posting requirements to a SNL Project Manager or Construction Observer, as appropriate. 8

9. Emergencies, ES&H Events & Injuries Workers will report any injury, illness, or event that could adversely impact workers, the public, or the environment or may result in unplanned disruption of normal operations to their Safety Officer, Superintendent, or Foreman or other person as identified in the CSSP. When in doubt, report it! For Life Threatening Injuries or Illnesses • On SNL telephone call 911, or • On outside or cellular phone call (505) 844-0911 9

10. Electrical Shock All workers who receive an electrical shock during standard working hours must be accompanied to the SNL Medical Facility for immediate medical attention. 10

11. Substance Abuse Prevention and Testing Use of drugs (including misuse of prescription drugs) or alcohol shall be grounds for removal and may include termination of the Contractor’s Contract. 11

12. Radiological Safety • A Jobsite Hazard Evaluation (JSHE) is required for all work in an area that has a posted radiological sign. JSHE will identify controls required for the area (e.g. training, material release). • JSHE will identify hazards and controls to protect the worker when working in the posted area. All workers must be aware of controls prior to entry into a posted area. • Some work activities may require participation in SNL’s external and internal monitoring program. 12

13. Waste Management and Disposal • Waste must be handled according to the accepted Prime Contractor’s CSSP. • These are a few examples of waste that require special disposal. 13

14. Asbestos Safety • Asbestos may be present in existing building material, finishes, and mechanical systems. • Asbestos containing material (ACM) will be identified as part of the JSHE • Work activities shall not damage or disturb the ACM • Asbestos work release permit documents the asbestos hazards and provides recommended controls or elimination of the hazard. 14

15. Significant Hazards • Significant hazards identified in Section 3.04A require a documented safety briefing and/or a documented activity/task hazard analysis. • Examples of documentation may include: CSSP, AHA, Permits, JSHE, sign-in sheets of training, and/or pre-task meeting. • Examples of significant hazards are: • Work requiring a fall protection plan • Scaffold erection greater than 125’ • Work requiring respiratory protection • Work within 10’ of overhead power lines • Sanding and/or grinding of silica containing material (e.g. concrete) 15

16. Excavation Permits • Obtain an excavation permit prior to start of the following activities: • Digging, saw-cutting, drilling, coring, or trenching into soil to a depth greater than 12 inches. • Excavation of soil beneath concrete sidewalks, slabs, or asphalt to a depth greater than 2 inches. • Scraping, blading, or excavation of any previously undisturbed areas. • Area to be excavated shall be shown on the drawing and identified in the field using white paint. • Confine excavation activities to those areas identified on permit. 16

17. Penetration Permits • Obtain penetration permit prior to start of the following activities: • Penetration into concrete slabs, floors, ceilings, roofs, or walls greater than 2 inches (50mm) in depth (does not include pre-cast concrete). • Penetration into underground concrete duct banks. If high voltage hazards are identified on the penetration permit a task-specific procedure is required (each duct bank is considered a task). • Penetrations where a site investigation cannot identify possible hidden hazards. • Area to be penetrated shall be shown on the drawing. • Permit is task specific. Confine penetration to those areas identified on the permit. 17

18. Hot Work Permits • Prior to cutting, welding, open-flame burning, or use of tar kettles and roof solvents, obtain a Hot Work Permit from SNL Fire Protection Engineering. Display the issued permit in a prominent location at work site. • For welding, brazing or thermal cutting operations, obtain a Welding, Cutting, Brazing Control Permit prior to obtaining a Hot Work Permit • Operators of WCBC equipment must complete training every 3 years to be able to obtain WCBC Permits. • The worker responsible for performing hot work and the worker performing fire watch duties shall: • View training videos annually. • Annually obtain training and certification in the use of portable fire extinguishers. 18

19. Fire Protection System Impairments • For any work activity that impacts the operation or functioning of a fire protection system, do the following: • Obtain a Fire Protection Impairment Permit (FPIP) if the work will generate heat, smoke, fumes, or dust or when modifying or disrupting a fire protection system • Put the building fire alarm system on “NO ACTION” so that fire alarm signals are not transmitted to emergency responder workstations • Disable fire alarm devices and zones to prevent accidental activation while performing work or to allow modification to the fire alarm system 19

20. Confined Space Confined Space is defined by OSHA as a space that: • Is large enough for a body to enter and work • Has limited or restricted entry or exit • Is not designed for continuous occupancy Permit-Required Confined Space is a space that contains all of the above and one of the following: • Has a hazardous atmosphere • Has a material that may engulf the workers entering • Has an interior that could trap or asphyxiate workers • Contains any other serious safety and health hazard Notify the Incident Commander (844-4189) prior to entry to identify location and confirm that rescue personnel are available. Note: Electrical Manholes and Steam Pits are examples of permit -required confined spaces. 20

21. Confined Space • These are a two examples of confined space signs. • Absence of a sign does not mean that the area is not a confined space. • Contact your Construction Observer is you need assistance in determining if a space meets the definition of a confined space. 21
