Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) - Laschools.org

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Orientation
Project Name: LAUSD Proposed South Region High School #9 and Middle School #4
Project Location: South Gate, CA
Names of personnel responsible for site safety and health
• Jim Goepel – Project Manager; Josh Sacker – Site Manager/Site Health and Safety Officer. See PSP
Section 4.10 for contact numbers.
• Emergencies - Call 911 and/or your Supervisor for emergencies. In the event of an evacuation, the
primary assembly point is the Site security trailer. The secondary assembly point is directly north of
the Site on Adella Ave.
• Incidents – report all incidents (any unplanned or unexpected event that results in personal injury,
property damage or environmental release) and “near-miss incidents” to your Supervisor and the Site
HSO. Near-miss incidents COULD HAVE been an incident, but didn’t because of a slight change in
conditions or luck. However, they have the same causal factors as an incident, so it is just important to
investigate them for identifying solutions to prevent recurrence and share lessons learned.
• Communications – the response for anyone from the general public (e.g. media, workers from adjacent
properties, etc.) inquiring about the project is: “I’m sorry, but I’m not the right person to answer your
question. If you contact the Los Angeles Unified School District Office of Environmental Health and
Safety they will be able to help you”.
Safety, health, and other hazards at the site
• Chemical exposures, environmental (cold/heat stress, animals, insects, poisionous plants/vegetation),
hazardous materials handling, heavy equipment operation, noise, and traffic.
• Chemicals known to be present at levels that may exceed the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), and
primary means of potential exposure.
Proper use of personal protective equipment
• Minimum PPE - hard hat, safety glasses with side shields, and steel toe work boots. Tinted safety
glasses are not permitted during overcast weather, after sundown or inside buildings.
• Hearing protection – during drilling.
• High visibility vest/coat (with reflective stripes if working after dusk) is required when regularly
exposed to vehicular traffic. Any high visibility vest/coat other than a traditional traffic vest must be
pre-approved by the Safety Manager.
Work practices by which the employee can minimize risk from hazards
• Site Access Control – Check in at Site security trailer upon arrival at the site.
• Training – Site-specific training (HASP review and sign off). Copies of the HASP and MSDS’s are
available to all personnel. Daily safety meetings shall be documented and reviewed by all personnel
working at the site, regardless of what time they arrive on site.
• Contamination - Eating, smoking and applying cosmetics is not permitted in the work zone. Drinking
water may be permitted in the work zone depending on site-specific conditions and the possibility of
heat exhaustion.
• Proper hygiene – wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
• Monitoring – Section 11 of HASP
