(v) Wellness

C-3.1 Introduction. (a) Owner is committed to promoting a safe jobsite, given that unsafe conditions at
the site can jeopardize the health and safety of Owner’s employees, contractors, customers, and guests. Therefore,
Owner’s contractors and their employees, agents, and Subcontractors are expected to adhere to the minimum
standards that comprise this Global Construction Safety Policy. This policy is part of the Master Construction Contract
with Owner and is a resource for contractors to develop and manage jobsite safety while performing work for Owner.
Defined terms used but not defined in this policy are as defined in the Master Construction Contract.

(b) Contractor will develop and manage for each relevant PSR a Project-specific
environmental, health, and safety plan (a “EHS Plan”) that meets or exceeds the standards stated in this policy and
the United States Occupational Safety and Health Act (https://www.osha.gov/law-regs.html) (OSHA) and OSHA
regulations and otherwise complies with applicable laws and regulations, and takes account of applicable guidance
and approved codes of practice (“ACOPs”). The EHS Plan should also include measurable KPIs for environmental,
health and safety aspects which the Contractor is expected to achieve. Any references to OSHA standards should be
used as benchmarks with an expectation that at least an equivalent standard is achieved in any local jurisdictions.

(c) Contractor’s EHS Plan should account for the entirety of the Work, whether performed at
the Site or elsewhere, including third-party locations where prefabrication, skidding, and/or commissioning services
may be performed. Notwithstanding any rights and authority granted to Owner under the Contract or the relevant
PSR, Contractor will be solely responsible for, and have control over, the means, methods, techniques, sequences and
procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the relevant PSR. Contractor is solely responsible for
initiating, maintaining and supervising all safety precautions and programs in connection with the performance of the
Work. If Owner, this policy, and/or the relevant PSR is deemed to have given specific instructions concerning
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, Contractor shall evaluate the jobsite safety of the
same and will be fully and solely responsible for the jobsite safety of such means, methods, techniques, sequences or
procedures. Where construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures are specified, either directly
or indirectly, by reference to industry standards, or otherwise, Contractor shall review the specified procedures and, if
they will not produce intended results, cannot be warranted or otherwise are objectionable to Contractor, Contractor
will propose alternative procedures.

(d) Prior to the start of any field work associated with the relevant PSR, Contractor's home
office and key field supervision personnel will meet with Owner’s project leaders to assure the contents of this section
of the Contract are clearly understood, and to show how Contractor's EHS Plan meets or exceeds these minimum
standards.

(e) Contractor must promptly inform its Owner contact (or a member of Owner management)
when any situation develops that causes Contractor to operate in violation of this policy. While Contractor is
expected to self-monitor and demonstrate its compliance with this policy, Owner may audit Contractor and/or inspect
the Site and off-site locations where the Work is performed to confirm compliance.

(f) Owner may update this policy on one or more occasions and in its sole discretion in
accordance with Section C-1.15 of the Master Construction Contract. All changes will be effective upon notice to
Contractor, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Contractor shall promptly notify Owner if Contractor determines that
changes to a policy or procedure will cause a material change to the Schedule, the Contract Price or other costs for
the Work. Upon Owner’s receipt of Contractor’s notice, the parties will discuss how to mitigate the impact of the
change to enable Contractor to comply.

C-3.2 High Risk Activity (HRA) Management. Contractor’s EHS Plan should include a dedicated section
outlining prevention strategies for certain high risk activities (“HRAs”) that increase the likelihood for serious incidents
and fatalities (“SIFs”). Those HRAs include working from heights, electrical, energy isolation, mobile equipment,
material handling, confined spaces, lifting operations, ground disturbance, hazardous materials, traffic management
on site and driving (including driving offsite in connection with the PSR). Other significant exposures include noise

2020-0227 Global Construction Safety Policy (1.0)


CONFIDENTIAL

and temperature extremes. Contractor may choose to add additional categories that have a high SIF potential after
completing a Project-specific risk assessment.

The following topics should be included, at a minimum, in the dedicated HRA section of the Contractor’s EHS
Plan:

- Three levels of risk assessments (project, activity, task).


- Incorporation of HRAs into project schedule.
- Planning meetings – Level 2 planning meetings, look-aheads, daily coordination meetings
(“SIMOPs”)
- Pre-task planning with workers and daily ‘tool box’ talks
- Permits
- Communications and Lessons Learned Sharing
- Orientation, Training and Competency
- Audits and Inspections
- Reporting
- Metrics and Analysis
- Change Management (impacts related to changes in schedule, costs, design, personnel and scope)
- Use of BIM / VDC for HRA Management

Refer to DCX-SPS-100 High Risk Activity Management Safety Performance Specification for more guidance.

(a) Working from Heights.

(1) Aerial Lifts and Boom Trucks. Contractor will comply with OSHA 1926.453 for aerial lifts (such as articulating
boom trucks) and with 1926.452 for powered mobile scaffolds (such as scissor lifts and mobile elevated
working platforms) when operating and inspecting such equipment. In addition, the following minimum
standards apply:

 The manufacturer’s posted capacity of the lift will not be exceeded by the combination of
personnel, tools and material in the lift.
 Any equipment equipped with outriggers will have the outriggers fully extended and set before the
bucket/cage is raised.
 Personnel utilizing aerial lifts, boom trucks, MEWPs, or similar equipment will tie off utilizing
appropriate fall restraint equipment. Tie-offs while performing work inside scissor and aerial lifts
will be used for restraint and not arrest. Traversing a scissor lift while in the elevated position should
be avoided.
 Personnel climbing out of or onto the platform to/from an elevated work location when using an
aerial lift, scissor lift, or boom truck in the elevated position shall be prohibited unless Contractor
can demonstrate alternative means are not feasible. In such cases, Contractor shall utilize
additional fall protection equipment such that the person maintains 100% fall protection tie-off as
soon as their feet leave the platform of the lift. The additional fall protection equipment shall be
anchored to a structure exterior to the lift that meets the OSHA requirement for a fall protection
anchor. In some cases, a double lanyard system will have to be utilized to maintain 100% fall
protection during the transition. A detailed method statement with corresponding risk assessment
will be developed and approved by Contractor’s project and safety managers. Contractor will
ensure all other means of access (including scaffolding and approved lift extensions) have been
reviewed and eliminated for feasibility. Contractor’s decision on means of access will not be made
solely on cost.
 Rigging and lifting from the platform or boom is not permitted.
 Each aerial work platform shall be inspected, maintained, repaired, and kept in proper working
condition in accordance with the manufacturer's manuals. A Competent Person shall perform an
inspection each day prior to use.

2020-0227 Global Construction Safety Policy (1.0)


CONFIDENTIAL

 Each aerial work platform shall be equipped with a fire extinguisher when there is a potential for fire
or while working in proximity to electrical.
 Contractor shall maintain a list of personnel on site, including subcontractors, who have been
properly trained and are authorized to operate aerial lifts and boom trucks.

(2) Fall Prevention. Fall arrest equipment, work positioning equipment, or travel restricting equipment will be
used by employees when exposed to a fall of 6 feet (1.8m) or more, such as at floor and roof openings,
upper floor and roof edges, elevator shafts, and stairwells. Fall arresting systems will consist of a full body
harness with two shock absorbing lanyards, self-locking snap hooks, and adequate anchorage points. 100%
tie-off, with at least one lanyard connected to an anchorage point at all times is required when exposed to a
fall of 6 feet (1.8m) or more.

(A) Before starting any work with a fall exposure, Contractor will have a written fall protection plan. The
written fall protection plan will be written by a Competent Person, address the specific issues on the
project, and include a rescue plan which includes steps in addition to calling local emergency
services. Contractor will provide for each employee who might be expected to perform elevated
work the proper training with written records thereof as described in OSHA 1926.503. Owner may
review these records upon request.

(B) Contractor will ensure that fall protection equipment is inspected prior to each use and not used for
any other purpose other than worker fall protection. The use of controlled decking zones is
prohibited. 100% tie off is required at all times when workers are exposed to a fall hazard of 6 feet
(1.8m) or greater. Warning lines may be used to warn personnel of fall hazards of 6 feet (1.8m) or
greater.

(C) Safety netting and the use of Safety Monitors are not permitted as the sole means of fall protection.

(3) Hole Covers. Any opening in a floor or roof with a minimum dimension of 2 inches (5.1cm) in any direction,
and not otherwise protected by handrail or other guarding system must be mechanically covered by a
temporary hole cover in accordance with OSHA 1926.502(i).

(4) Ladders. Contractor will use reasonable efforts to avoid the use of ladders and promote the ladders last
policy by actively seek out safer alternatives for elevated work tasks. Where step ladders must be used they
will be of the platform design or equivalent. Contractor will maintain a task-specific permit system to assure
the ladders last policy is executed and to assess alternatives when platform ladders cannot be used.
Contractor’s permit system will enlist a means of controlling the use of ladders when not in use.

(A) The use of straight and extension ladders is limited to use for access only and only after alternate
means are proven infeasible. All straight and extension ladders will be equipped with non-slip feet.
All such ladders will be either tied off at the top and bottom (where possible) or held when in use.
No more than one person will use a single ladder at any given time. All ladders will be inspected by
the user before each use. Any ladder found to be defective during any inspection will be removed
from the site or disposed of. Any evidence of oil, grease, or other slippery substance on any ladder
must be immediately remedied. No conductive ladders or job-made ladders will be used.

(B) When a worker working from or using a ladder is exposed to a fall of more than 6 feet (1.8m), a
safety harness must be worn with at least one lanyard attached to a suitable anchorage point. If
there is no anchorage point available, a different means of access to the work is required, such as a
scaffold or aerial lift. Personal fall arrest is required when using straight or fixed ladders for access
to a different level (such as when climbing a scaffold) unless there are other conditions that increase
the fall exposures (such as muddy terrain or awkward transitions). Stepladders must be fully
extended and locked when in use.

2020-0227 Global Construction Safety Policy (1.0)


CONFIDENTIAL

(C) Workers will not carry tools, materials or other items in their hands while climbing a ladder. Any
material or tools needed that cannot be carried on a belt must be hoisted by rope or passed to the
person by an assistant.

(5) Scaffolding. Contractor must comply with OSHA 1926 Subpart L for the erection, use, inspection and
maintenance of all scaffolds. Scaffolds will be erected, moved, dismantled, or altered only by trained
personnel under the supervision of a Competent Person. The Competent Person will inspect all scaffolds for
structural integrity and deficiencies prior to each shift's use. The inspection will be documented in writing on
a tag hung from the scaffold. The tag will indicate whether the scaffold is approved for use. Scaffolding that
is incomplete or otherwise not suitable for use will have a red tag displayed on the scaffold indicating that it
is out of service. Multi level scaffolds shall incorporate a stair design, in lieu of, an external straight ladder for
access to various levels unless it can be demonstrated to be infeasible. In such cases, a fall arrest system will
be designed and utilized for personnel using the access ladder.

(6) Steel Erection. Steel erection will be primarily accomplished from aerial lifts. Climbing of columns is
prohibited. Steel erection personnel will maintain 100% tie-off at all times in areas that have fall exposures
of 6 feet (1.8m) or greater. Traversing horizontal beams is permitted so long as proper tie-off is maintained
using such devices as rolling beam clamps. Safety netting is not permitted as the sole means of fall
protection.

(7) Dropped Object Prevention Plan. Contractor must develop a plan that outlines protection measures that
prevent struck-by incidents to personnel below any elevated work. The plan must include both prevention
and protection control measures. Use of prevention strategies (e.g. tool tethering, protection screens, etc.)
shall be prioritized over protection measures (e.g. use of a controlled access zone and/or spotter.)

Refer to DCX-SPS-105 Working from Heights for additional requirements.

(b) Electrical.

(1) Ground Fault / Residual Leakage Current Protection. Contractor will provide ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI/RCD) protection for all cord sets, receptacles and electrical tools and equipment connected by cord
and plug which are used or available for use by employees. All GFCI/RCD receptacles will be placed at the
source end of the electrical service and tested prior to each use. Contractor must maintain a documented
inspection program that is completed by a competent person.
