2016
Objectives
 Develop a “Zero Incident” safety culture.
 Standardize Safety requirements for all contractors
working on LAUSD sites.
 Identify and control losses through risk management,
safety programs and policies, claim and injury
management, and partnering with contractors who
share LAUSD safety values.
We Build On Safety !
Why be Safe?
• Mitigate Adverse Impacts
– Health of People and the Environment
– The “Bottom Line” – Costs
• Direct Costs
• Indirect Costs
• Personal Costs
– Public Relations and Public Perception
• Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP)
• LAUSD
• Education System
Is safety common sense?
• Is Common sense common?
• Implies we have the same
experience, education, upbringing,
and culture, innate abilities and
reasoning.
• How can common sense be common?
Debilitating Injuries
Workers Compensation
Costs
• Up to 92% of total
cost may come from
indirect costs.
• 6% of total cost
comes from
uninsured
miscellaneous
expenses.
• Only 2% of the cost
are direct costs. (per
the Int’l Loss Control
Institute)

Safety Culture
Definition of a Safety Culture
Safety culture is a term often used to describe the way in
which safety is managed in the workplace, and often reflects
"the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees
share in relation to safety" (Cox and Cox, 1991).
How is a Safety Culture Created
Management & Employee attitudes
Policies & Procedures
Supervisor Responsibility and Accountability
Safety Planning & Goals
Actions in response to Unsafe Behaviors
Employee Training & Motivation
Employee Involvement
We Build On Safety !

• Pre-qualifying the Contractor
The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is the ratio of actual losses over
expected losses in a moving 3 year period. The moving three year period
ends one year before the EMR becomes effective, and each year the loss
experience for the earliest year is eliminated and a new year added. For
example, a 2010 EMR reflects loss experience for 2009, 2008 and 2007. EMR
data may not reflect unsettled claims and may change.
EMR’s are used by insurance companies to set the manual rate premium to
reflect an employer’s variation from the average of others with the same
classification code or codes. The manual rate is an insurance premium rate
based on the type of work performed in a job classification such as pile
driving, steel erection, boilermakers, etc. The rate is dollars per $100 in
direct payroll. For example, the average manual rate for boilermakers is
$10.27 per $100 in direct payroll.
Thus, OSHA recordable incident rates should also be utilized to define a
contractor’s safety performance.
It is not uncommon for contractor’s with high EMR’s and recordable incident
rates to pay twice the premium costs for worker’s compensation insurance of
those with best safety performance.
We Build On Safety !
Prequalification
• Subcontractors must be prequalified for all
contracts. The GC or CM firm is required
to prequalify contractors according to
LAUSD standards.
• GCs and CM firms must verify EMRs via
compline at: www.Compline.com; and
check licenses at the CSLB website at:
https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/
CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx
Prequalification Cont.
• GCs and CM firms must obtain and review
IIPPs and pertinent safety policies and
programs for all subs including: Hazcom
programs and MSDSs, JHAs, EHS
management Systems, Incident and
Investigation Programs, Fall Protection,
PPE, Training and other programs
pertinent to the work being performed.
• The basic Cal-OSHA IIPP information is
not adequate for most construction
contractors.

public
• The ASSE is the secretariat for the A10 Committee
• Members come from industry, associations, insurance, unions, etc. --see membership roster
• Contractors include: Barton-Malow, Chicago, Bridge & Iron, Clark
Construction, Gilbane, The Industrial Company and Turner
Construction
• The A10 ANSI publications --- 48 topics to protect workers and the
public – see list
• One purpose of these standards is to serve as guides to governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over subjects within the scope of the
A10 Committee
• The ANSI publications are guidelines for contractors, labor and
equipment manufacturers to follow
• Approval of an ANSI standard does not imply that all members voted
for its approval
• Zurich has one member on this subgroup, Harry Galer, a Risk
Engineer
• Use of the American National Standards are purely voluntary
52
The ANSI Standard A10.34– protection of the
public on or adjacent to construction sites
•
•
•
•
First published in 2001 (8-11-01)
Revised in 2005 (11-16-05)
Cost $37 for ASSE members; $63 from ANSI website
Establishes comprehensive safety guidelines for employers,
contractors, building owners and rescue personnel to protect the
public from construction hazards in the air, on land or at sea
• Establishes the necessary elements of a Public Hazard Control Plan
(PHCP)
• Provides safety requirements to protect members of the general
public from hazards associated with construction, maintenance, repair
and demolition of structures in public areas
• The key goal of the A10.34 subgroup is to provide a standard that
allows users to recognize and proactively react to potential hazards
during the stages of planning and actual work on a construction
project to prevent tragic interactions between the public and
construction operations
53
The ANSI Standard A10.34 – what it
covers
• The standard covers virtually all construction, new or renovated office
buildings in city environments, roadway construction, work on or near
harbors, waterways, airports and light, commercial and home building
construction projects
• It also includes public protection from the deterioration of structures
that may result in spalling concrete, loose components and other
falling debris hazards
• The standard does not apply to the protection of employers or their
employees
• It intends to protect the public by providing recommended elements
and activities
• It covers: hoisting, cutting, welding, forming, pouring, shoring and reshoring of concrete, blasting, pile driving, trenching and other
activities that can jeopardize public safety
54
The ANSI Standard A10.34 – who it
covers
• The project constructor is responsible for implementing the standard
as appropriate to the degree of potential hazards to the public
• “Public” is defined to include all persons and property not affiliated
with the construction project
• “Public” includes invitees to the construction project who are not
employed by the project constructor or subcontractors
• The project constructor has an obligation to evaluate each
subcontractor’s planned activities for its impact on the public
• This evaluation shall be undertaken at the time construction is being
planned, when subcontracts are finalized and as necessary during
construction
• When a hazard is identified, appropriate actions to abate the hazard
shall be devised and implemented
55
The ANSI Standard A10.34 – what it
requires
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Restricting public access to the jobsite – a site security plan
Controlling vibrations and subsidence to adjacent structures
Controlling pollution, dust, fumes, mists, smoke and vapors
Controlling radiation and welding flash exposures to the public
Shielding offsite lighting so that they do not create a public hazard
Preventing falling or windborne objects from harming the public by
using barricades or nets
Guarding the public from cranes, motor vehicles or other machinery
or equipment – traffic hazards
Alerting the public of loud noises from construction operations
Making sure that walkways near construction sites are both
accessible, safe and adequately lighted
Properly storing hazardous materials and substances

Developing emergency actions plans at sites under construction
Developing a plan to control public protests
Developing a plan to handle bomb threats
56
The ANSI Standard A10.34 – Appendix A
– Public Hazard Control Plan (PHCP)
• A non-mandatory advisory section intended to assist the reader in
complying with the standard
• A simple project with limited or no public exposure could have a nonwritten plan and verbal understanding and communications/training of
affected workers and jobsite entities
• Refers to a written “Public Hazard Protection Plan”
• This is the same thing as the “Public Hazard Control Plan”
• The PHCP should be prepared by a “qualified person”
• A “qualified person” is a person who, by possession of recognized
degree, certificate or professional standing or by extensive
knowledge, training and experience, has demonstrated ability to solve
or resolve problems relating to subject matter of this standard
• The PHCP shall be “communicated to appropriate authorities”
• The PHCP shall be updated as new hazards arise or if subcontractors
or conditions change
57
How to prepare a Public Hazard Control
Plan (PHCP)
• Appendix A can be used as the PHCP outline
• The PHCP shall name a person responsible for:
– Monitoring and inspections
– Accident investigations
– Public notices, complaints and community relations
• The PHCP shall name persons to develop action plans and implement
actions to minimize hazards to the public
• The PHCP shall list persons authorized to access the security area
after hours
• Emergency action plans shall be developed, as needed:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Flood, hurricane, tornado, serious inclement weather
Fire
Electrical outage
Chemical leak or spill
Medical emergency, fatality, multiple injury accident
Catastrophe or collapse
Crime against property on the jobsite
Crime against persons on the jobsite
• Personnel on the jobsite shall be instructed about the above
procedures
58
How to prepare a Public Hazard Control
Plan (PHCP)
• A specific plan to address public contempt or protest as follows:
– These could be public contempt or violence, public protests, pickets or
blockages
– This plan shall deal with members of the public who purposely place
themselves or others at risk by failing to observe or heed warnings or
other directives or safety precautions
– This may require notification to agencies with authority to control public
activities, e.g., the police or fire department, and cessation of all
construction activities that may cause a hazard until the public is controlled
• A specific plan for handling bomb threats or other violence as follows:
–
–
–
–
–
Bomb or arson threats
Threats of violence to construction site employees
Suicide attempts/threats
Other
The plan shall include immediate notification to and interfacing with
appropriate authorities
59
The ANSI Standard A10.34– Appendix A
– Public Hazard Control Plan (PHCP)
• The PHCP shall consider and evaluate the following 3 hazards:
– Noise
• Construction activities that produce noise levels above the local
jurisdiction permissible levels shall be identified and appropriate action
to minimize public exposure shall be taken
• Where sudden or loud impact noises may startle or present a hazard,
appropriate actions to notify the public shall be taken
• When sudden or continuous noise may interfere with other audible
warnings, such as, back-up alarms or horns, or where traffic control or
emergency vehicle response is affected, appropriate actions shall be
taken to notify the public. These appropriate actions may include
visual signals, warning signs, barricades and/or flag persons and shall
be deployed in addition to audible warnings.
– Dust, fumes, mists, smoke and vapors
• Operations which produce airborne contaminants that present a hazard
to the public shall be controlled
– Traffic hazards
• Construction operations interacting with the public or taking place
above or adjacent to vehicular, pedestrian, maritime, rail or air traffic
shall be addressed

Incident Rates
• Incident Rates are tracked for each each
project, and tied to each OAR, Region,
contractor and each injury tracked to
closure.
• Incident rates are updated as late claims
are submitted and claims identified for
each project.
• Projects and contractors claiming no loss
time will be compared to LAUSD data on
file.

Safety Rates & Ratios
RIR - Recordable Incident Rate is number of OSHA defined recordable injuries x 200,000 divided
by number of man hours
TCIR - Total Recordable Case Incident Rate
is RIR over a three year period
LTWR - Lost Time Work Rate is number of
lost time injuries x200,000 divided by
number of man hours
DART - 3 year days away, restricted, or
transfer case incident rate
Example provided of an
extremely successful safety program
wrap-up from 165 jobsites
averaging 60 workers
a day per site

What is a Lost Time Incident?
1904.7(b)(3) When an injury or illness involves one or more days away
from work, you must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log
with a check mark in the space for cases involving days away and an
entry of the number of calendar days away from work in the number
of days column.
1904.7(b)(3)(i) Do I count the day on which the injury occurred or the
illness began? No, you begin counting days away on the day after the
injury occurred or the illness began.
If a worker goes to the clinic one day and returns the next day, as long
as the worker didn’t lose a full work shift the injury is not a lost time
incident
For a much more detailed definition of what is First Aid, Recordable,
Recordable Restricted, Recordable Lost Time, etc. please refer to
www.osha.gov search keyword - 1904.

What is a “Recordable Injury”?
Per OSHA 29CFR1904.7(b)(5), “If a work-related injury or illness results
in medical treatment beyond first aid, you must record it on the OSHA
300 Log (as a Recordable Injury). If the injury or illness did not
involve death, one or more days away from work, one or more days
of restricted work, or one or more days of job transfer, you enter a
check mark in the box for cases where the employee received medical
treatment but remained at work and was not transferred or restricted”
1904.7(b)(5)(i) What is the definition of medical treatment? "Medical
treatment" means the management and care of a patient to combat
disease or disorder. For the purposes of Part 1904, medical treatment
does not include:1904.7(b)(5)(i)(A) Visits to a physician or other
licensed health care professional solely for observation or
counseling;1904.7(b)(5)(i)(B) The conduct of diagnostic procedures,
such as x-rays and blood tests, including the administration of
prescription medications used solely for diagnostic purposes (e.g., eye
drops to dilate pupils);
For a much more detailed definition of what is First Aid, Recordable, Recordable
Restricted, Recordable Lost Time, etc. please refer to www.osha.gov search

• Incident Reporting –
Incident includes any
recordable incident or damage to property no matter
how slight.
– Report to the OAR and LAUSD Construction Safety
Specialist
• Recordable incidents require incident
review board within 3 working days.
• All incidents resulting in losses
require drug screening.
We Build On Safety !
Payment for Drug Screening
• Each contractor is required to
maintain a drug free work site. Postincident drug screening is paid for by
the contractor.
• Our insurer (LM) may pay for
screening as a courtesy when
injuries occur and are treated at an
MPN.
Managing an Injury –Return to
Work
• Provide Treatment
– First Aid/Medical Provider Network
• Supervisor trained on injury management to
escort worker to clinic and implement RTW
protocols
• LAUSD advocates returning injured workers
to work in a limited capacity. Unless the
worker is completely incapacitated, they are
expected to work in some capacity such as
office work, security work, safety audits /
inspections, tool inspections, traffic control,
spotter, or other meaningful work within the
limits set by the MPN.
