Site supervisor

The organizational chart further identifies key positions in the project team, including the project director, project manager, site safety and health officer (SSHO), site supervisor, emergency response coordinator, site security, and other specialized positions. 

Security issues involving access controls are typically line management responsibilities. However, it is not unheard of to have the SSHO in charge of site access or other security-related matters. However, if the field team leader or site supervisors are in charge of access issues or other security matters, they should always strive for SSHO participation. The nature of a project may warrant assigning a member of the site security staff to the project team. Key duties of the security officer may include the following ... 

Forty-hour training was required for personnel entering the exclusion zone, and additional supervisory training was required for site supervisors. Site control procedures described in the Site C contractor s SSAHP included maintenance of site control logs at each access point, use of red tape or chainlink fencing to demarcate hot zones, and use of the buddy system in all exclusion and contamination reduction zone areas. Site communications relied almost exclusively on visual sighting of employees the plan did not describe the use of two-way radios. This suggested that all employees in hot zones can be observed continuously from the support zones. 

Make sure that all site supervisors, clerks of works and site engineers keep good records, and that they are kept contemporaneously, so that, if necessary, they will be admissible in evidence in the unfortunate event that a dispute arises. 

Unpacking the enforcement of site safety rules has suggested that both site supervisors and operatives simply accept violations as part of their daily work, and are also resigned to the punishment dealt out if the perpetrator is caught. However, this clearly shifts responsibility... 

For example, a construction crew may be erecting a new administration building at a process plant site. The contract workers who pour the concrete and erect the steel work will not have any contact with the people who work on the processes, nor will they be directed by the site supervisors. Therefore, they are true contract workers. At the other extreme is a maintenance worker who has worked on the facility for many years and who reports directly to the facility s supervision. Even though this worker may be on contract in an administrative sense, regulatory agencies such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would regard him or her as being equivalent to a full-time employee. 

Daywork is one way of recording variations to a contract, that is, work done which is outside the scope of the original contract. If daywork is to be carried out, the site supervisor must first obtain a signature from the client s representative, for example, the architect, to authorize the extra work. A careful record must then be kept on the daywork sheets of all extra time and materials used so that the client can be billed for the extra work. A typical daywork sheet is shown in Fig. 5.13.

The specimen must consist of at least 45 mL of urine. Within 4 minutes after obtaining the specimen, the collection site person will measure its temperature. The acceptable temperature range is 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If the specimen temperatme is outside the acceptable range, the collector must note this on the CCF and must immediately conduct a new collection using direct observation procedures outlined in Sec. 40.67. Both specimens must be sent to the lab for testing. The collector must notify both the DER and collection site supervisor that the collection took place rmder direct observation and the reason for doing so. 

A. The site supervisor will be responsible for ensnring that all containers entering the workplace are properly labeled. 

C. MSDSs will be available for review to all anployees during each work shift, and copies will be made available upon request to the site supervisor. 

D. If a required MSDS is not received with the shipment, the site supervisor shall contact the supplier, in writing, to request the MSDS. 

E. If an MSDS is not received after two such requests, the site supervisor should contact the local OSHA office for assistance in obtaining the MSDS. 

A. The site supervisor shall coordinate and maintain records of employee hazard communication training, including records of completion. 

C. It is the responsibility of the site supervisor to ensure that such information is provided and/or obtained prior to any services being performed by the contractor or vendor. To ensure that this is done, the following mechanism will be followed (list all methods used to ensure the required information is provided or obtained)... 

No work can begin until the site supervisor has a fully completed and coordinated work permit issued by the infection control department. 

One equipment operator/supervisor and one technician will operate the unit and be onsite eight hours per day, although the system will be operated only seven hours per day, five days per week. The extra hour each day will be used for cleaning and maintaining the unit. A site supervisor will visit the site for approximately two to three days each month for oversight purposes. The two-person crew could operate up to three 12-module systems. If more modules are required, additional manpower would be needed. 

The design and subsequent implementation of a strengthening system using composite materials require the identification of specific tasks and roles for the designer, site supervisor, contractors, inspector, and testing laboratories (Fig. 8.1). 

The largest element here seems to be the feeling of personal control. Those who believe themselves knowledgeable about and in control of a dangerous situation, even where the magnitude of the consequences is potentially great, show little fear or concern about it. This also applies to attitudes towards the safety of others. Thus construction site supervisors may consider that the site hazards are under the control of skilled craftsmen and not personally concern themselves with them, even when they see that... 

The more that is known about the hazards at the site, the easier the job of PPE selection becomes. As more information about the hazards and conditions at the site becomes available, the site supervisor can make decisions to up-grade or down-grade the level of PPE protection to match the tasks at hand.

All scaffolds should have an assembly, use and dismantling plan. Before accepting a scaffold erected by a specialist scaffolding sub-contractor for use, the site supervisor must check the scaffold and obtain a handing-over certificate. 

The site supervisor wiii ensure that all scaffolds are erected in accordance with the standards outlined above and, at the beginning of each week, he shouid inspect the scaffoid and ensure that any defect is rectified. A report of the inspection and action taken shouid be entered in the site inspection register. A simiiar inspection shouid aiso be carried out after high winds or other adverse weather conditions. 

The site supervisor must ensure that all necessary equipment is available on site in accordance with the risk assessment, method statement and any other planned procedures, such as a permit to work, before any person is allowed to enter a confined space. He must also ensure that the planned procedures, including any permit to work systems, are adhered to strictly and that only authorized trained persons are permitted to enter the confined space. He must be notified of any changes in working methods or conditions inside the confined space which were not included in the planning procedures before any changes are implemented. 

The site supervisor must ensure that all plant and equipment when delivered to site is in good working order and fitted with all necessary safety devices, notices and guards. He must also ensure that an ongoing maintenance and defect reporting system is in place. No equipment may be used until all defects have been rectified. The site supervisor will ensure that only authorized licensed operators are permitted to operate any plant and equipment used on site.
