Name/Title: ACG’s Main and Sub Offices, Afghanistan

Location (ACG Related Projects)
Projects Description/ Location
The projects are defined as the design, material, labor, and equipment to construct building, utilities and other
infrastructure for ACG’s Personnel and staff.
This includes the assessment, design and construction of new building for Office and related ACG Main office
and site offices and with all utility systems.
II. ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM:
A. Statement of (Safety and Health) Policy:
The principle of accident prevention and loss control is based on a desire by management to prevent injuries
to persons, promote conservation of property, and minimize the effect of loss to the earning potential of both
the individual and the company. It also instills in the individual a personal concern for the protection of life and
property.
Top management considers no phase of operations or administration of greater importance than accident
prevention and asserts that accidents resulting in personal injury and/or damage to property represent
needless waste and loss. It shall therefore be the policy of ACG conducts all operations safely, thereby
preventing injuries to persons and damage to property.
Planning for accident prevention shall start with design and continue through purchasing, fabrication,
construction operations and maintenance in all of ACG work. Accident prevention and property conservation
measures shall be integrated with operating functions and made a prime responsibility of operating
management. All supervisory employees must accept responsibility for the prevention of accidents on work
under their direction and shall be responsible for thorough safety and loss control training and instruction of
their employees.
The Safety Department is a staff service department and is responsible for assisting management in the
formulation of a sound policy designed to meet stated loss reduction objectives. It is accountable for
stimulating acceptance of work safety practices, an attitude of safety-mindedness, and active participation by
operating management in achieving the goals set forth in this policy. All levels of supervision shall recognize
the need for regular formal discussions of safety and loss control programs and the effectiveness of existing
programs involving these problems. The objective of this policy is to establish throughout the entire
organization a firm and full concept of people and property as ACG most important assets, and therefore
conservation will receive top priority, support and participation.
The Safety Department will also ensure that there is a medical facility on site to administer first aid when
necessary.
B. Organization and Administration
The Safety Program will be implemented and administered by a Safety Officer, appointed by the QA Manager
C. Accident Prevention Responsibilities
The Project Site Manager will support the Safety Program by insisting upon continuous
adherence to it by all personnel on the site. The Safety Officer shall be responsible for the
development, implementation and administration of the program. He shall, by periodic field
survey and review of reports and records, determine safety problems, status of programs and
effectiveness of field safety and medical personnel. He shall oversee investigations of all severe
personnel injuries and major equipment and property losses. He shall, with the ACG Safety
Officer, investigate fatal accidents and major property losses.
D. Safety Enforcement Procedures:
The typical safety enforcement procedures are as follows; however, the severity of a violation will determine
the level of disciplinary action administered:
a. Verbal Reprimand – The supervisor will inform the employee that he/she has committed a safety violation
which, if repeated, will result in further disciplinary action.
b. Written Reprimand – A formal written Reprimand Safety Report will be issued by the supervisor informing
the employee of the safety violation and that future violations may result in suspension or discharge from
work.
c. Suspension – The employee’s supervisor will inform the employee that he/she is suspended from work
without pay for a specified period of time for a violation of company safety rules or regulations, and that
future violations may result in discharge.
d. Discharge – Employee will be terminated as a result of a major safety violation and/or a pattern of safety
violations. Employees who place themselves, or others, in imminent danger and refuse to correct the
situation immediately will be instantly discharged.
e. Subcontractors – Subcontractors will be advised of their existing or potential safety hazards immediately.
A written description of the hazard will follow the verbal warning. Unless the safety hazard creates an
imminent danger, the subcontractor will be given twenty-four (24) hours to make corrections. If
corrections are not made within this time period, ACG will correct the violation at the subcontractor's
expense. Delays to the project schedule due to safety violations will not be tolerated. When applicable,
costs due to safety violations, including required acceleration costs, will be charged to responsible
parties.
f. Notice of Non-Compliance – Upon receipt of written notice ACG shall ensure immediate corrective action
is taken.

VII. Safe Work Procedure:
A. Purpose and Scope

To establish basic safety standards to be observed by all employees while working on the project. These
standards are to be as general guidelines. Items that are not specifically addressed in this section should be
discussed with the Safety Director.
B. Objective
To further prevent accidents by synopsizing general standards for job site safety that are universal on all job
sites: Following the guidelines of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Local safety
standards and regulations and the National Fire Protection Association Standard – NFPA 51B Fire Prevention-
Welding, Cutting, and Other Hot Work 1999 Edition. OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
C. Electrical Standards:
All 120/240V single phase 15 and 20 amperes receptacle outlets, which are not a part of the permanent wiring
of the building or structure, shall have ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) for personnel protection.
If equipment cannot be operated with ground fault circuit interrupters, other means of providing protection
must be provided, i.e., double insulated power tools. Ground fault sensitivity shall be a maximum of 10 milli-
amperes.
All electrical work, installation and wire capacities shall be in accordance with the pertinent provisions of the
National Electrical Code, 2002 edition, and National Fire Protection Association, Sections 70, 72, and 101
unless governed by local regulations.

possible, the main electrical switch shall be switched to the OFF position when no work is being performed.
D. "Lock-Out" "Tag-Out" Clearance Procedure

This procedure is intended to provide a controlled method for rendering inactive any electrical equipment or
operating systems (including mechanical or piped) when equipment is down for any reason, such as repair,
removal or replacement of equipment, and installation of new equipment.
The procedure includes the three basic phases of work on any system:
 shutting down equipment
 repairing or installing equipment
 Start-up of equipment.
It is likely that some situations will not include all three phases. Regardless of the operation and the phase or
phases involved, the "lock-out", "tag-out" clearance procedure must be observed to ensure the safety of the
operation.
It is pointed out that even though this procedure generally provides for locking and tagging of equipment, the
danger tag alone is to be considered a positive locking device and any equipment bearing such a tag must not
be operated under any circumstances. Disregard for such a tag will be cause for disciplinary action.
E. Welding & Arc Welding:

A suitable, approved fire extinguisher shall be ready for instant use in any location where welding is done.
Screens, shields, or other safeguards shall be provided for the protection of men or materials, below or
otherwise exposed to sparks, slag, falling objects, or the direct rays of the arc.

Welding practices shall comply with all applicable regulations of OSHA standards.
Arc Welding:
Accident sources related to welding can vary with the method of welding being used, the location in which the
welding is done, the materials being welded, and the control measures that are used. Welding operations
have a high potential for personal injuries. Some of the hazards and steps to follow for preventing personal
injuries are listed below.
Hazards that must be considered include:
 Damage to eyes and skin from infrared and ultraviolet radiation from the
Electric arc.
 Burns and fires from contact with hot metals or from sparks.
 Adverse health effects from breathing metal fume and gases.
 Electric shocks.
 Confined space work hazards.
Arc welding hazards can be controlled by using effective ventilation and by following safe working practices as
indicated below:
 Good planning for the work. The welder is responsible for his/her operation. The work area should be
checked before starting to make sure everything is
Secure.
 Welding must not be performed in a hazardous area without first obtaining
Authority and instructions from the responsible supervisor.
 All welding equipment must be maintained in a safe operating condition.
 Hard hats must be worn during working hours except inside offices or in the
Cab of a car or truck.
To control eye hazards:

 Welder's helmets and hoods with proper filter plates and filter lenses must be worn during arc welding to
protect the welder's eyes from harmful rays and
From flying sparks and debris.
 When arc welding near others, they must be protected from the arc rays by
Noncombustible screens or they must wear adequate eye protection. Before
He welder strikes the first arc, he must check to see that others working
Nearby are protected.
 To protect eyes from flying objects while chipping slag, or other weld-cleaning activity, approved eye
protection must be worn. The supervisor should ACG welders to obtain face shields, goggles, and safety
glasses. Safety glasses should always be worn under a welding hood.
 All eye protection equipment must be maintained properly. Welding hoods must be checked for holes or
cracks constantly. Any openings must be repaired to prevent eye injuries. Eye protection gear requires
cleaning and inspection on a regular basis.
F. Burning or Cutting
When gas cylinders are stored, moved, or transported, the valve protection cap shall be in place.
Cylinders shall be stored, transported, and used in an upright position. If the cylinder is not equipped with a
valve wheel, a key shall be kept on the valve stem while in use.
An approved fire extinguisher shall be readily available in the event of fire.
Appropriate personal protective equipment, such as burning glasses, shields, and/or gloves must be used.
The burning or cutting area shall be properly ventilated, and an appropriate type of respirator shall be used if
the operation can produce toxic vapors or fumes.
Burning and Cutting will comply with the regulations of: NFPA 51B Fire Prevention-Welding, Cutting, And
Other Hot Work 1999 Edition.
G. Job Made Ladders:

Job made ladders shall be fabricated in accordance with the ANSI A14.4.
The general rules applying to the use of manufactured ladders also apply to the use of job made ladders.
H. Scaffolding
Inadequate scaffolding is responsible for many construction accidents. Scaffolds shall be designed, built, and
inspected by competent persons. To avoid the use of makeshift platforms, each job should be carefully
planned to assure that scaffolding is used where required and that such scaffolding conforms to the applicable
regulations.
A standard railing shall consist of a top rail, intermediate (mid-rail) rail, toe board and posts.
The top rail shall be approximately 42 inches from the upper surface of the rail to the floor, platform, or ramp
level. The top rail shall be smooth throughout its length and be made of at least 2-inch by 4-inch surfaced
lumber or its equivalent.
The mid-rail shall be halfway between the top rail and the floor, runway, platform or ramp. The ends of the rail
shall not overhang the terminal posts except when it does not constitute a projection hazard. The mid-rail
shall be made of at least 1-inch by 6-inch lumber or its equivalent.
The toe board, 4-inch minimum height, shall be securely fastened in place and have not more than 1/4 in
clearance above the floor level.
Wooden railing posts (verticals) shall be made of at least 2-inch by 4-inch lumber or its equivalent, and be
spaced so as not to exceed 8 feet on center.
Other types, sizes, and arrangements of railing construction are acceptable provided they meet the following
requirements:
 A smooth surfaced top rail approximately 42-inches above the floor.
 Strength to withstand a minimum of 200 lbs. steady horizontal force on the top rail with a minimum of
deflection.
The footing of scaffolds should have leveling jacks if possible for a good foundation. If leveling jacks is not
available, wood 2 x 4, 4 x 4 or larger, preferably cross-stacked, could be used to make a solid foundation for the
scaffold.
The scaffold shall be secured by tying its bottom and top to a structure with sufficient mass to prevent the
scaffold from collapsing under any load condition.
Brackets or bracing for supporting scaffolds should never be made by welding concrete reinforcing rods.
Access to Scaffolds:
An access ladder or equivalent safe means of access shall be provided to all work areas. An accepted method
of access from the ladder is to remove the rungs of the ladder above the scaffold, which will allow personnel
to go between the side rails of the ladder. Put the ladder as close as possible to the left/right side of access
way of scaffold, and tie the other side rail to the scaffold. The tie off rope/wire will force the personnel to go
between the side rails on to the working area.
I. Concrete and Concrete Forms:

All equipment and materials used in concrete construction and masonry work shall meet the applicable
requirements.
J. Housekeeping:
Fundamental to effective accident prevention is good housekeeping. The importance of housekeeping is such
that it must be planned at the beginning of the job and carefully supervised through the final cleanup. The
degree of attention given to project housekeeping will be reflected in the accident record as well as in
construction efficiency. During the course of construction, all work areas, passageways, and stairs, in and
around a building and other structures, shall be kept clear of all debris. All construction materials shall be
stored in an orderly manner. Storage areas and walkways on the site shall be maintained free of dangerous
depressions, obstructions and debris.
The essentials of good housekeeping are:

 Placing trash receptacles at appropriate locations for the disposal of
Miscellaneous rubbish.
 Prompt removal of disposal trash and waste materials
 Orderly placement of all materials tools and equipment
 Locating air lines, welding leads and extension cords in positions that
Eliminate tripping hazards.
VIII. Safety and Health Inspection:

XX. PARTICULARLY HAZARDOUS OCCUPATIONS, EQUIPMENT AND JOBS
A. Crane Operations and Operators:

Crane equipment is built for safe and economical operation, but it is only as safe as the operator's ability. Never
lift a load with an unfamiliar crane until it has been checked out. Should any question arise about the safe or
efficient operation of the crane do not operate it until your supervisor has advised you of what procedure to
follow.
Hard hats must be worn during working hours except inside offices or in a car or the cab of a truck.
At the beginning of each shift the operator must check the crane he is going to operate.
Current crane certifications must be kept with the crane at all times.
All guards must be in place, such as guards over gears, couplings, wiring and rotating shafts.
The load block must be run up and down to see that the wire rope load line is winding on the drum properly.
While doing this, the operator should scan the rope to see if it has any broken wires or strands, loss of proper
lay, or evidence of chafing.
The brakes must be tested at the start of each shift. Also, the brakes should be tested before lifting any
unusually heavy load.
If the crane has any type of warning signal it must be checked to make sure it works before the crane is
operated.
Any unusual noises or faulty operation such as a slow response from controls, squeaking, thumping, etc must
be reported to the supervisor before attempting to lift a load.
Loose or slippery pedals must be reported to the supervisor and cleaned or repaired before commencing
operations.
The housekeeping in the cab must be checked for cleanliness. Old clothes, papers and trash must not be
permitted to accumulate in the cab. Tools, oil cans, etc should be kept in containers designed for their storage.
B. Rigging:
All the rigging equipments and components must meet the requirements of the
ANSI and following the OSHA Rigging Rule & regulations, Requirements while working on or using any rigging
equipments in the job site.
General: (Inspection and Use)

Running lines located within 6 ft - 6 in (1.9 m) of the ground or working level shall be guarded or the area
restricted by physical barriers to preclude injury or injury from broken lines.
All eye splices shall be made in an approved manner. Rope thimbles of proper size shall be fitted in the eye,
except that in slings the use of thimbles shall be optional.
When hoisting loads, a positive latching device shall be used to secure the load and rigging (i.e., self-closing
safety latches, hook with a spring-loaded gate, an alloy anchor type shackle with a bolt, nut and retaining pin).
Hooks, shackles, rings, pad eyes, and other fittings that show excessive wear or that have been bent, twisted,
or otherwise damaged shall be removed from service.
Custom designed grabs, hooks, clamps, or other lifting

accessories (i.e., equalizing beams, lifting or spreader beams, etc.) for such units as modular panels,
prefabricated structures, and similar materials shall be marked to indicate the safe working loads and shall be
proof-tested before use, to 125% of their rated load.
PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
Any worker acting in the capacity of Rigging Lift Supervisor shall meet the requirements of this section.
Any worker engaged in the duties and the performance of rigging shall be a
Qualified Rigger and as such, shall meet the following requirements:
A. Be at least 18 years of age;
B. Be able to communicate effectively with the crane operator, the lift supervisor, flagman and affected
employees on site;
C. Have basic knowledge and understanding of equipment operating
Characteristics, capabilities, and limitations
In addition, Qualified Riggers and Lift Supervisors shall be

Able to demonstrate knowledge and proficiency to appropriate
Management personnel in the following;

c. Rigging equipment and materials;
d. Safe Operating procedures;
e. Principles of safe rigging;
f. Environmental hazards (overhead interferences);
g. Rigging the load, handling the load, common causes of
Crane-related accidents.
The following precautions and steps must be taken during the Rigging work and working with Rigging
Equipment.
1. Supervisor will ensure that the maximum load rating of rigging components as recommended by the
manufacturer are not exceeded.
1. All rigging, hooks and components will be checked for excessive wear and damage prior to use.
2. One member of the crew will act as the designated signalperson and will wear the appropriate
distinctive vest, armlets, etc.
3. The signalperson will review the signals to be used with the crane operator.
4. The signalperson is the only one to signal for a lift and must be careful not to order a move until he
has received the “all ready” signal from each member of the crew.
5. Be sure you are in the clear before you give an “all ready” to the signalperson.
6. Be sure your hand is clear of pinch points.
7. Watch out for the roll or swing of the load. Anticipate the direction of the swing or roll and work away
from it.
8. Never place yourself between material, equipment or any stationary object and the load swing.
9. Stay away from stacked material that may be knocked over by a swinging load.
10. Never stand under the load, and keep from under the boom as much as possible.
11. Look over the location where the load is to be set. Remove unnecessary blocks or other objects that
might fly up if struck by the load.
12. When lowering or setting the load, be sure your feet and all other parts of your body are out from
under the load.
13. Set the load down easily and slowly so that if it rolls on the blocking, it will be a slow shift that you can
get away from.
14. Use tag lines to control the loads.
15. Damaged rigging must be clearly tagged “Out of Service”, removed from the work area and either
repaired or replaced.
16. All the Rigging equipments must be stored in a good condition while not in use and to keep them form
damage.
C Safe Operating Practices:

When operating a crane, the operator must always be satisfied that it's safe to do so.
The operator must recognize signals from only one person designated as the signalman. The signalman must
be thoroughly familiar with crane signals and the operation of the crane being used.
A crane operator from an employee that does not have a complete knowledge of the standard crane hand
signals must never accept signals. If the crane operator is in doubt he should check before moving the load or
crane.
The hook should be directly over the load when a lift is started.
The boom length and boom angle being used must always be considered when calculating the capacity of the
crane.
Cranes should not be used for dragging or sliding loads on the ground.
The crane must be kept on a firm and level surface. The outriggers on rubber tired cranes must be used, and
cribbing must be installed under them in most cases. Extreme care and good judgment must be used when
setting up near the edge of open excavations.
Never swing a load over personnel.
A serious hazard exists when operating near electric lines. Always keep booms a safe distance from electric
lines. A minimum distance of ten feet or three meters is required.
The block must never be lowered to a point where less than two full wraps of the cable remain on the drum.
The operator must not permit anyone to ride on the slings, hook or load. Only a properly secured and
authorized supervisor is allowed to ride in crane cabs with the operator.
Always use tag line ropes on loads to prevent them from swinging.
The load-rating chart must be strictly followed. If a jib extension is used on any boom, additional consideration
must be given to safe carrying capacities at various boom angles due to the increased boom length and
weaker overall structure.
On soft surfaces timber mats and cribbing must be used.
When cranes are traveling with a load, the route to be traveled should be carefully inspected for levelness,
load bearing capacity and freedom from obstructions.
Barricade flagging or safety rails must be provided around the area covered by the revolving cab when the
crane is operated in areas where pedestrians or vehicles pass close by.
Never leave the crane with a load on the hoist. When leaving the crane, set the brakes. If a bucket or similar
device is attached, lower it to the ground.
Following the installation of a new load line, check the tightness of cable clamps (if any) after a brief period of
use under load.
Access to the cab must be by safe means. Platforms must be kept free of slip/trip hazards and they must be
covered with a non-slip material. Always use the proper grab rails and steps when entering and leaving the
cab.
Never wrap the hoisting cable around loads.
If the steps outlined above are and safe work practices are used, crane accidents can be avoided. If you have
any questions about your work do not hesitate to ask your supervisor. It is only through the cooperation and
thoughtfulness of all that crane operations can be accident free.
