As appropriate, attachments to the TaSSA include Material Safety Data Sheets for work involving chemicals, and permits required for the work. The TaSSA accompanies each worker into the field, and copies are left at Access Control and with the Construction Management and Operations Department. This allows other personnel to review the work and confirm that specified controls are in place for each activity. Inspections are recorded on the TaSSA, and corrections to work practices are made in the field with proper notifications. The TaSSA system has reduced the number of safety incidents associated with routine activities.
Workers review job site conditions daily and identify changing conditions.
This increases worker awareness of changing conditions and reduces the complacency often associated with routine tasks. Maintaining awareness of workplace hazards and changing conditions for subcontractor personnel is a prerequisite to performing the work safely. Each subcontractor is required to prepare a series of safe work plans that detail each activity and how it will be performed, the hazards associated with each task, and the protective measures that will be implemented to perform the work safely. Before work starts, safe work plans are reviewed and approved by representatives from the Safety, Environmental Safety and Health, and Construction Management and Operations Departments. Each worker reviews and signs the safe work plan before beginning work.
