DDC PROJECTS SAFETY PERFORMANCE
The definition of incident and accident, is defined within the DDC, as: ➢ Incident – An unplanned work related event that results in personal injury requiring first aid
➢ Accident – An unplanned work related event that results in personal injury that involves medical treatment beyond first aid.

There were a total of 5,190 fatal work related injuries recorded in the United States in 2016, a 7- percent increase from the 4,836 fatal injuries reported in 2015 by Bureau of Labor Statistics.
➢ Fatal work injuries from falls, slips, or trips continued a general upward trend that began in 2011, increasing by 6 percent from 800 in 2015 to 849 in 2016. ➢ Falls increased more than 25 percent in 2016 for roofers, carpenters, tree trimmers and pruners, and heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers. ➢ The leading causes of workers deaths in Construction industry were falls, followed by struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. These “Fatal Four” were responsible for more than half the construction worker deaths in 2016.

DDC PROJECTS SAFETY PERFORMANCE
SAFETY APPROACH …
➢ The DDC safety approach was established to promote successful leadership and a positive safety culture at all DDC project sites. ➢ Contractors are expected to recognize, minimize or eliminate jobsite and public hazards, through planning, inspection, verification, and corrective action processes. ➢ The NYC Department of Design and Construction's (DDC) has a zero tolerance policy with respect to the consumption of alcohol or use of drugs. Use of alcohol or controlled substance shall result in immediate removal from the site and permanent loss of access.
DDC SAFETY APPROACH
29
➢Foundation of a Safe Project begins with:
http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/ddc/downloads/publications/guides-manuals/Contract-Safety-Requirements.pdf
and Site Specific Safety Plan;
➢Each builds upon the other to create a “safety net” for our employees, contractors/consultants and the general public.
DDC SAFETY APPROACH (continued…)
30
➢ “Within thirty (30) days from the Award Date, or as otherwise directed, the Contractor shall submit the following: (1) Safety Program, and (2) Site Safety Plan. ➢ The Safety Program and the Site Safety Plan are subject to review and acceptance by the Construction Safety Unit prior to the commencement of work at the site. Failure by the Contractor to submit an acceptable Site Safety Plan and Safety Program shall be grounds for default.”
SAFETY PROGRAM AND SITE SAFETY PLAN
31
The Safety Program and Site Safety Plan shall contain specific elements that shall determine acceptability. Examples are: Safety Program Site Safety Plan Organization and Responsibilities Work Scope Safety Training Program Responsibility and Organization Hazard Corrective Actions Safety Training and Education Accident/Exposure Investigation Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Protection of Underground Utilities Hazard Corrective Actions Recording and Reporting Injuries Accident/Exposure Investigation

Review
Shortcomings of Safety Programs and Site Safety Plans : ➢ Missing and/or incomplete sections, forms, submittal of safety regulations instead
➢ Not company and/or project specific; responsible personnel for implementation of safety program and site safety plan is not identified; do not reflect construction activities conducted by contractor or outlined in project work scope; submittal of general procedures instead of project specific and company specific. ➢ QA&CS is committed to an average review of 10 business days and expect the same commitment from the contractors.
SAFETY PROGRAM AND SITE SAFETY PLAN (continued…)
34
➢ A JHA identifies potential hazards before they occur, focusing on the relationship between the worker, the task, tools and the work environment. ➢ A JHA is a living document that must be re-evaluated and revised to address new hazards and tasks that may develop and shall be present at the worksite and produced upon request. ➢ A JHA must:
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA)
35
➢ In order to meet OSHA and DDC requirements, contractors shall perform Job Hazard Analysis for construction work tasks being performed on DDC construction project and document the results. ➢ The JHA forms shall include at a minimum the following information:
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA) (continued…)
36
➢ All project specific work tasks, hazards and control methods not identified; ➢ Project ID, location, contractor's name not provided; ➢ Date of JHA development not provided; ➢ Name and signature of the certifying person missing.

DDC PROJECTS SAFETY PERFORMANCE
Contractors must proactively comply with the responsibilities of DDC Contract Safety Requirements, prior to commencement of and during the work activities by: ➢ Submitting an acceptable Site Safety Plan free from errors and omissions. ➢ Retaining properly trained and qualified staff for the applicable activities within the scope of the work
➢ Thorough understanding of the DDC Contract Safety Requirements, and all applicable regulations that pertain to construction safety.
DDC SAFETY EXPECTATIONS AND CONTRACTOR ROLE
41
➢ Ensuring JHA(s) reflects the current conditions and construction activities:
➢ Weather: Rain, snow, inclement weather – Heat or Cold ➢ Timely update JHA to reflect changes to work tasks, means and methods, and equipment ➢ Timely train and update workers of changes in JHA
➢ Ensuring weekly safety meetings and daily jobsite briefings are conducted and documented. ➢ Conduct accidents and incident investigations and document findings for DDC review. ➢ Preserve scene/tools/equipment involved in accident or incident. ➢ Use accident and incident investigation findings as “Lessons Learned”. ➢ Conduct periodic work site safety inspection to assess jobsite and public hazards and implement corrective actions when needed.
DDC SAFETY EXPECTATIONS CONTRACTOR ROLE (continued…)

CLOSING STATEMENT When the Contractors are actively engaged and takes a proactive approach in addressing potential and real time safety issues at the work site, the result is a safe work environment for employees and the general public.
