Site Specific Health & Safety Plan (HASP)
1.2 THE PROJECT HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN (HASP)
The purpose of this health and safety plan (HASP) is to establish personnel protection standards
and mandatory safety practices for all Parsons and subcontractor personnel involved with site
investigation (including soil, soil gas, and groundwater), pilot testing, site remediation, and
hazardous waste management activities at the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)
Proposed South Region High School #9 and Middle School #4 (Site). The goal of this safety
program is to conduct the entire project with zero accidents and incidents (this includes
environmental releases, property damage and near misses). All task activities shall be designed
for zero accidents. This plan provides guidance and site-specific information for field operation
and provides for contingencies that may arise. All Parsons field team members and
subcontractors are responsible for reading and conforming to this plan. All personnel must share
responsibility in performing all work in such a manner and under such conditions to preclude or
minimize the possibility of damage to property or injury to themselves or others. No employee
will perform a project activity that he or she believes may endanger his or her health and safety
or the health and safety of others. Carelessness or disregard of accepted safety, health, and fire
protection standards will not be tolerated. Any field team member who does not comply with
established safety procedures may be subject to immediate dismissal and future exclusion from
the site.
This Plan will be updated as conditions change or situations change, usually by addenda to the
HASP. All Parsons and subcontractor personnel must understand and implement the HASP and
any addenda. Parsons documents this by having employees sign an acknowledgement form
stating that they understand the plan and its requirements.
1.3 SUBCONTRACTOR SAFETY PLANS
Parsons’ subcontractors must establish a safety program for their work and employees. Contract
specifications require all subcontractors to accept Parsons HASP, but also prepare their own
Subcontractor Safety Plan (SSP) for presentation to Parsons Project Manager and Division
Safety Manager at least 10 days before site mobilization. At a minimum, subcontractor safety
and health plans must meet the requirements of this HASP and provide safety equipment and
safeguards suitable for the hazards involved. This HASP may not cover all potential hazards on
the project and subcontractors must ensure that appropriate safety and health information is
available for all project tasks.
All HASP requirements for Parsons personnel (e.g., training, substance abuse screening, and
incident reporting) also apply to subcontractor personnel and should be spelled out in the
subcontractor’s safety plan (SSP).
If a subcontractor is performing activities that require specialized training (i.e. confined space
entry, excavation/trenching, scaffold use, HAZWOPER, etc.), then copies of training
certifications must be provided for applicable employees and the supervisor.
Subcontractor supervisors must possess the following certifications for applicable operations –
HAZWOPER 8-hour Supervisor (29 CFR 1910.120(e)(4) - not to be confused with 8-hour
