2.2.3 Physical Hazards

While the buildings at 133-135 Greenwich/21-23 Thames Street suffered no significant damage from the WTC Collapse, numerous physically hazardous conditions exist related to the deteriorated, run-down condition of much of the space in these buildings. These hazards include damaged electrical sources and components, falling hazards due to openings in the floors, or the possibility of materials falling from overhead. The primary physical hazards that may be encountered during this project are related to the Abatement Phase activities and include: heavy equipment operation; excessive noise; excessive heat or cold; inclement weather; manual lifting/handling of heavy objects; poor housekeeping; rough terrain; compromised structural integrity; traffic; cranes, hoists and other lifting equipment;, aerial lifts and manlifts! working at elevation; use of scaffolding; hazardous materials use; potential utility and electrical sources; use of hand and power tools; slips and falls; etc.

Due to the existence of these hazards, the Contractor shall ensure that all site employees receive hazard awareness training. Additionally, the Contractor shall insure that Subcontractors perform the following operations under the direct on-site supervision of OSHA Competent Persons (provided by the Subcontractors for each task as necessary):
