VI. HSE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
1. The purpose of MAPP’s CLIENT Project HealthSafety and Environmental Plan (PHSEP) is to
establish certain criteria and procedures for the analysis, development, implementation,
training, auditing, and evaluation of safety procedures tailored to conditions present and by the
work scope for this project. This plan is intended to address certain hazards and to provide
management, site supervision, workers, and other contributors with the tools necessary to
conduct all construction in a safe and efficient manner. Provisions for this plan have been
established through the MAPP’s HSE Management System, CLIENT HSE requirements, OSHA’s
General Industry and Construction Regulations, and applicable federal and state regulations.

considered as a mandatory minimum requirement for all contractors and their subcontractors of
all tiers.
1. MAPP is committed to a zero injury environment. It is our belief that safety is a value, not
compromised by cost or schedule. Everyone has the right to go home safely at the end of the
day.
2. MAPP’s principal goal is for each project subcontractor to conduct all construction activities with
a zero incidence objective. This goal includes not only zero injuries but also zero property
damage and environmental incidents.
3. MAPP’s objective is total customer satisfaction achieved by consistently producing a level of
quality and productivity that completes a project on or ahead of schedule, within budget, and in
compliance with all applicable standards.
4. MAPP is committed to providing its employees, its subcontractors’ employees, and vendors,
other on site personnel, clients, and the public with a Drug & Alcohol Free Construction
Environment.

defective ladders to their supervisor. These ladders will be taken out of service immediately and
destroyed if repair is not feasible.
3. Subcontractors shall inspect ladders prior to assignment on the project and at least quarterly
thereafter. The inspection will include the rungs, feet, lanyard (for extension ladders), side rails,
and rivets.
a) Ladders with broken or missing steps, rungs or cleats, broken side rails or other faulty
parts will not be used. A "DANGER, DO NOT USE" tag must be attached.
b) Ladders that have been inspected and safe to use will be identified using a quarterly
color code inspection system.
c) All items shall be marked with current quarter colored electrical tape for the first
quarter of the project. Subsequent quarters shall be marked as followed, and then
repeated annually:
1. October – December Orange
2. January – March Red
3. April – June Green
4. July – September White
4. All personnel shall face the ladder while ascending or descending.
5. All personnel shall have their hands free of material while climbing ladders. Hand-lines shall be
used to raise or lower materials as needed.
6. Portable ladders shall be classified as:
a) Portable Ladders: can be either straight (fixed heights, not taller than 12 feet), or
extension (two sections or more combined to reach maximum height).
b) Stepladders: folding type opening ladders that are self-supporting.
7. All portable ladders will be identified by contractor name, properly stored at their assigned
location when not in use, and kept in good, clean condition.
8. All ladders shall be equipped with safety feet and both feet of the extension ladder and the feet
of a stepladder shall rest on solid support and be at the same level.
9. Ladders shall not be placed in front of doors unless the door is locked, roped off, or guarded.
10. Tops of ordinary types of stepladders shall not be used as steps or work platforms. All ladders
shall be of sufficient length so that work can be performed while at or below the third rung of
the ladder from the top or as recommended by the ladder manufacturer (as labeled on ladder).
11. All portable ladders, other than stepladders, will be placed on the ground or other support so
that the distance from the base of the ladder to a line dropped vertically from the top support is
approximately one-fourth of the length of the ladder. Example: A 16 foot ladder shall be placed
so that the bottom is four feet away from the wall.
12. All portable ladders shall be secured before starting a job. Another employee shall hold the
bottom of the extension ladder while the ladder is being tied off or secured.

16. Stepladders (folding ladders) shall not be used as straight ladders. When using a stepladder,
make sure the spreader braces are locked to prevent collapse.
Page 23 of 28
17. Only one employee shall be on a ladder at a time, except in extreme emergency, or if designed
by the manufacturer to be used in such a manner.
18. Rungs of ladders shall be kept free of grease and oil.
19. Do not lean to outside with a shoulder being more than 12 inches beyond the side rail while on a
ladder.
20. When it is necessary to do work requiring the release of both hands from an extension ladder,
fall protection shall be used. Fall protection shall be secured to a structure of adequate strength
for the purpose. Do not secure to the ladder.
21. Tools shall not be used in a position that will transmit an extensive downward force to the
ladder, causing rung or step failure.
22. Only when the user is standing on the ground, at the base of the extension ladder, shall
adjustments to the ladder be made. Adjustments to extension ladders shall not be attempted
while the ladder is occupied.
23. At the end of the workday, ladders shall be moved from the work areas so as not to create a
tripping or bumping hazard. Return the ladders to proper storage areas.

accidental contact. Guarding of live parts shall be accomplished as follows:
(1) Location in a cabinet, room, vault, or similar enclosure accessible only to
qualified persons.
(2) Use of permanent, substantial partitions or screens to exclude unqualified
persons.
(3) Location on a suitable balcony, gallery, or platform elevated and arranged to
exclude unqualified persons.
(4) Elevation of eight feet or more above the floor.
(5) Entrance to rooms and other guarded locations containing exposed live parts
must be marked with conspicuous warning signs forbidding unqualified
persons to enter.
(6) Electric installations that are over 600 volts and that are open to unqualified
persons must be made with metal enclosed equipment or enclosed in a vault
or area controlled by a lock. In addition, equipment must be marked with
appropriate caution signs.
5. Grounding of Equipment Connected by Cord and Plug.
a) Exposed non-current carrying metal parts of cord and plug connected equipment that
may become energized shall be protected in the following situations:
(1) In a hazardous location.
(2) When operated at over 150 volts to ground, except for guarded motors and
metal frames of electrically heated appliances if the appliance frames are
permanently and effectively insulated from ground.
(3) When one of the types of equipment listed below.
1. Hand held motor operated tools.
2. Cord and plug connected equipment used in damp or wet locations or
by employees standing on the ground or on metal floors or working
inside metal tanks or boilers.
3. Portable and mobile X ray and associated equipment.
4. Tools likely to be used in wet and/or conductive locations.
5. Portable hand lamps.
6. Safety Related Work Practices
a) Protection of Employees
(1) Contractors shall not permit their employees to work near any part of an
electric power circuit that the employees could contact in the course of work,
unless such employees are protected against shock by de-energizing the
circuit and grounding it or by guarding it effectively by insulation or other
means.
(2) Where the exact location of underground electric power lines is known,
employees using jack hammers or hand tools that may contact a line must be
provided with insulated protective gloves.
(3) Even before work is begun, the contractor must determine by inquiry,
observation, or instruments where any part of an exposed or concealed
energized electric power circuit is located. This is necessary because a person,
Page 25 of 28
tool or machine could come into physical contact with the electric power
circuit.
(4) Contractors shall advise their employees of the location of such lines, the
hazards involved and protective measures to be taken as well as to post and
maintain proper warning signs.
b) Passageways and Open Spaces
(1) Contractors shall provide barriers or other means of guarding to ensure that
workspace for electrical equipment will not be used as a passageway during
the time when energized parts of electrical equipment are exposed.
(2) Walkways and similar working spaces must be kept clear of electric cords.
c) Lockout and Tagging of Circuits
(1) Contractors shall place locks and tags on controls that are to be deactivated
during the course of work on energized or de energized equipment or circuits.
(2) Equipment or circuits that are de energized shall be rendered inoperative and
have locks and tags attached at all points where such equipment or circuits can
be energized.
(3) MAPP LOTO policy. (HSE28-001)
7. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
a) Contractors shall use approved ground fault circuit interrupters for all 120 volt, single
phase, 15 and 20 ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites, which are not a part
of the permanent wiring of the building or structure, and which are in use by their
employees.
b) Receptacles on the ends of extension cords are not part of the permanent wiring and,
therefore, must be protected by GFCl's whether or not the extension cord is plugged
into a permanent wiring.
c) These GFCI's monitor the current to the load for leakage to ground. When this leakage
exceeds 5 mA ± I mA, the GFCl interrupts the current. They are designed to trip quickly
enough to prevent electrocution.
d) Subcontractors shall have in place approved program for testing GFCl's. All records
shall be made available for inspection at any time.
e) This protection is required in addition to, not as a substitute for, the grounding
requirements of OSHA safety and health rules and regulations as specified in 29 CFR
1926.
8. Tool and EquipmentInspection
a) Subcontractors shall perform a documented inspection of all power tools and
temporary power cords prior to assignment on the project and at least quarterly
thereafter.
b) Visual inspection of tools and equipment are required prior to each use and shall
include:
(1) General condition
(2) Plugs and caps, and presence of ground prong
(3) Electrical cord sets
(4) External defects, and missing parts
(5) Defective tools shall be tagged with a “Danger, Do Not Use” tag, taken out of
service and placed in a secured location until they are repaired or destroyed.
c) Tools and equipment that have been inspected and safe to use will be identified using a
quarterly color code inspection system.
(1) All items shall be marked with orange electrical tape for the first quarter of the
project. Subsequent quarters shall be marked as followed, and then repeated
annually:
1. October – December Orange
2. January – March Red
3. April– June Green
Page 26 of 28
4. July – September White
Page 27 of 28
document, and change unsafe conditions and unsafe behaviors through supervisor and
employee involvement.
b) Observations may be conducted by individuals or teams of workers. Observers will
monitor work in progress for safe or unsafe acts and safe or unsafe conditions.
c) Observations can include any number of workers for any length of time or workplace
conditions.
d) Open and constructive communication between the observer(s) and worker(s) is an
important for the success of a SOR. Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions should be discussed and
resolved on the spot, if possible. Safe work practices should likewise be identified and positively
reinforced through compliment and praise.
e) If imminent danger situations are encountered, work must be immediately stopped and
workers removed from the hazard, the hazard abated, and a thorough investigation conducted.
f) It is important that all deficiencies reported have documented corrective actions, the
majority of which should be implemented at the time the observation is made. NOTE: Some
corrective actions may require a period of time to resolve if, for instance, client involvement is
required, equipment must be ordered, etc.; therefore, an open issue log will be kept to
document the final close-out or completion of such actions.
g) The MAPP Site Safety Representative will gather and compile SOR data, generate
reports, and develop trends to provide feedback to employees and the project team. These
reports will help in the development of special emphasis programs designed to highlight positive
behaviors and work practices and to address the specific types of deficiency trends.
h) Supervisory personnel should complete at minimum one SOR per day and craft
personnel shall complete one SORs per week.
6. Any suggestion to improve the safety of the project can be submitted using the Safety
Suggestion Form. All ideas will be reviewed by the MAPP Project Team and implemented if
approved. (See Attachment R - Safety Suggestion Form)
