PROJECT SAFETY PLAN

For each construction activity, all identified hazards and corrective actions are listed on the back of the CAS sheet. The safety plan (fig. 2-29) lists the hazards and corrective action from the back of the CAS sheets. A cover sheet (fig. 2-30) for the safety plan summarizes the training and equipment required for review by the chain of command. The project safety plan must be posted on the jobsite. A daily jobsite safety inspection (fig. 2-31) is performed by safety office personnel.

STAND-UP SAFETY LECTURES

The key to mishap prevention is personnel awareness. Personnel awareness is the purpose of the daily stand-up safety lecture. Use the form in figure 2-32 to document the daily stand-up lectures. It is not enough to anticipate the hazard and provide protective equipment. The crew leader must ensure that the crew is properly trained and motivated to use the equipment properly. If the corrective action includes specific procedures or methods, the crew leader must make sure those procedures are followed every time. Never let a member of your crew get lackadaisical! Make
