Part III — Health & Safety Plan 133-135 Greenwich Street/21-23 Thames Street Airtek Project 05-0701 -Rev 1, August 11, 2005

Labeling shall be required of all portable/temporary hazardous materials containers at all times. For non-hazardous materials only, labels are not required on portable containers filled from a correctly labeled container if the worker uses the material from that container only during that work shift. However, the subcontractor shall prepare a container label when the contents of the container are not used on the shift during which the container was filled and when the container label is defaced or illegible. The prepared temporary label shall indicate pertinent chemical identification and health information as required by OSHA.

All hazardous materials containers shall be labeled for content, hazard, and storage prohibitions, such as those relating to temperature range and chemical incompatibility with other materials and/or wastes. The labels shall be in compliance with requirements of New York State law. Containers containing hazardous waste shall also be labeled or marked clearly with the words, "Hazardous Waste".

2.11.2 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)

All MSDSs shall be submitted by the Subcontractors and shall be maintained by the Contractor SSM within a site master file. In addition, each Subcontractor shall maintain a copy of the MSDS for each product that they bring on-site. In addition, each Subcontractor shall also retain a log of MSDSs for chemicals used on this project and this log shall be kept on-site. The location of the MSDS folder shall be made known to all project employees.

Each Subcontractor shall review incoming MSDSs for new or significant health and safety information and shall ensure that any new information is communicated to affected employees, the Contractor SSM and other subcontractors. If an MSDS is not received at the time of initial shipment of materials, the material may not be used until the MSDS has been obtained from the manufacturer.

Employees shall be instructed to notify their Site Manager if an MSDS is not available. When a revised MSDS is received, the Site Manager shall immediately replace the old MSDS. Subcontractors shall insure that the MSDSs on file for their chemicals are current (updated within the last two years)

2.12 ACCIDENT PREVENTION & INVESTIGATION

A vital element of maintaining safe work practices is accident prevention. The following four actions are instrumental to accident prevention, and shall be communicated to all project personnel:

• Eliminate unsafe conditions. Efforts shall be initiated and implemented throughout the project to identify conditions that can contribute to an accident, and to remove exposure to these conditions. Each Subcontractor Safety Officer shall audit the work area prior to each shift to identify and correct any unsafe conditions.

• Reduce unsafe acts. Personnel shall make a conscious effort to work safely. A high degree of safety awareness shall be maintained so that safety factors are an integral part
