No one takes safety and visitors. Th e Barr & Barr logistics plans attached will refl ect that progress to date.
more serious than In addition to the Site Plan outlined above Barr & Barr will be implementing our
VEEC Project Specifi c Safety Plan as outlined below:
Barr & Barr
Our own Safety Manual. Th e foundation for our eff orts is our own safety manual.
and our track record Its focus is prevention not only of injuries and illness, but also of damage to property
and the environment. Our requirements include, for example, 100% eye protection
shows it. and fall protection for all employees working six or more feet above a lower level,
regardless of trade.

A Site-Specifi c Health and Safety Plan. Th is expands on our safety manual and
EMR = .78 well typically covers fall protection, excavations, scaff olding, personal protective equipment
and procedures for responding to emergencies.
below the industry Universal Safety Training. Our safety director, Jim Manoli, (a former OSHA inspector)

and Ted Brownell our New York safety manager. Both are authorized to teach OSHA’s
average 1.0 10-hour and 30-hour construction safety courses.

• All Barr & Barr personnel assigned to a job site complete, at a minimum, the
10-hour OSHA safety course

• All of our superintendents complete, at a minimum, OSHA’s 30-hour course
• We off er the 10-hour course free of charge to subcontractors and your own
personnel

• All workers receive at the very least an orientation that includes safety procedures
and requirements specifi c to the project

• As needed, we conduct additional specifi c training covering fall protection,
scaff olds, hazard communication and the like

Project Orientation Program. All employees on the site are required to attend
an Orientation class so they fully understand the Project Safety Requirements,
expectations, training requirements, work rules, etc.

Daily Safety Inspections. Inspection by our project team is also key to our program.
Safety manager Ted Brownell, weekly, conducts his own inspections to evaluate adherence
to the safety program, documenting any corrective action. Further, we tap our insurance
agent and our insurance carrier to conduct safety inspections throughout construction.
Weekly Safety Meetings. All subcontractors are required to attend.

Project Security. Barr & Barr working with the Owner will develop and implement
a security program to insure a safe and secure workplace. Th is program will address
site boundaries, staging areas, trutk and employee access, employee and visitor access
control, emergency evacuation plan, site illumination, web cameras, guard services,
community concerns, etc.

Sustainable Construction Safety and Health Rating. Th e SCSH system requires the
participation of the owner, architect, engineers and construction manager. Th e project
team will assess construction safety and health from the early planning stages, design
development and throughout construction. In many respects the essence of this system
has been incorporated into Barr & Barr’s Safety Program and Project Planning Analysis.
Barr & Barr looks forward to working with Cornell University and the project team
implementing this program on the VEEC project.
