Safety at the Ohio State University, reviewed by Faye Thompson, Ph.D., Director of

Environmental Health & Safety at the University of Minnesota, Steve Hardy, UAW UnitHealth & Safety Representative, the St. Paul Building Trades Council, Mr. Alfred Schmitt

and the associated building trades members. Although there has been no major revision to

the safety manual since 1992, certain portions have been expanded, clarified in part with

various format changes having been made. The revised safety manual revisions are listed

III. USERS GUIDE

This TKS Industrial Company Safety Manual has been written for all TKS Associates

stating our safety policy in a form that can be used for quick reference by our project

teams. These policies apply to all of our personnel including those located in our offices,fabrication facility, project sites etc.

This manual has also been written to provide an understanding of the TKS safety

commitment to our Customers, TKS Associates, and Subcontractors. To avoid

misunderstanding, this manual has been written as if directed specifically toward ourSubcontractor. However, the provisions of this manual apply to all TKS Associates. In the

context of this Safety Manual the word "Subcontractor" should be read as & includes allTKS Associates, subcontractors, lower tier subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and their

employees who provide services or goods to TKS for our projects.

All forms provided in this Safety Manual are SAMPLE FORMS ONLY.

The actual forms are included in the TKS Safety Manual Forms

Section of the Compact Disk.

Disclaimer: Nothing in this Safety Manual is intended to infer that TKS or its

Subcontractors or Lower Tier Subcontractors shall provide a full time, on-

site safety representative. A full time, on-site safety representative will

only be provided if required by the owner. In any event, designated SafetyRepresentatives will be identified as having responsibility for safety

requirements and maintenance of safety records for TKS, each

subcontractor, and each Lower Tier Subcontractors.

IV. SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY

As a part of your contractual obligation with TKS, all Contractors, Subcontractors,

Vendors, Suppliers etc. (Subcontractor) shall implement, coordinate and enforce, a

comprehensive, uniform site Safety and Accident Prevention Program.

The Subcontractor's Safety and Accident Prevention Program will be submitted for TKS

review and file at or prior to the project's Pre-mobilization Meeting. In addition to the

Safety and Accident Prevention Program, each Subcontractor shall provide a written

Lockout/Tagout Procedure, Confined Space Entry Program, Employee Right To Know

Program (Hazardous Communication), and appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDS). The Subcontractor will ensure compliance with all applicable regulations,

standards, specifications and procedures of OSHA, all other Federal, State and Localregulating agencies, this TKS Safety Program, and the Owner's Safety Policy. The

Subcontractor will also attend and conduct regularly scheduled safety meetings to increasesafety and hazard recognition awareness. He will also provide specialized training and

provide skill training and other safety training to their tradesmen and employees.

TKS will monitor safety, only. Safety is the responsibility of the Subcontractor. However,this Safety Manual is intended to supplement the individual programs of each

Subcontractor in order to coordinate the overall project safety effort. Each Subcontractor

is ultimately responsible, regardless of tier, for providing a safe and healthful work

place.

Disclaimer: The performance of Safety and Project Orientations, Safety Audits, Safety

Reviews, Safety Inspections, Safety Meetings, Site Safety Tours, Safety Warnings,

Maintenance of Safety Documentation and Files and any other safety activity conducted or

other specific actions taken by TKS and/or the Owner, including security, will not relievethe Subcontractor's sole responsibility for Safety Program development, implementation,

enforcement for corrective procedures and implementation (action), the provision of skill

trained and safety trained tradesmen and adequate supervision for the Project by the

Subcontractor.

Neglecting safety is neglecting Project responsibility.

1. The Subcontractor will provide a site safety orientation for all of their

employees, tradesmen, visitors etc. The orientation will be submitted for

TKS review.

2. If project requirements specify the project orientation as discussed in

Section B., then the Subcontractor may modify his safety orientation byeliminating areas of duplication from his orientation as approved by TKS.

However, the responsibility for a proper understanding of project safetyrequirements is still the responsibility of the Subcontractor.

B. Project Orientation (Owner Required)

1. Potential Contract Requirement

Although it is the responsibility of each Subcontractor to ensure that all

individuals, before beginning work on the project, attend a mandatorySubcontractor provided Project Orientation and Safety Orientation, a

Customer or TKS Project Orientation may also be required. This potentialadditional safety requirement is discussed in this section. The contract

should be checked for this additional requirement as discussed in this

section.

2. Responsibility

If required, a project safety orientation will be provided by TKS. However,

this orientation in no way relieves the Subcontractor of his responsibility of

providing project, job and skill training, safety training and the supply ofproperly skill trained and safety trained tradesmen for project work.

3. Orientation

The Project Safety Orientation will include job site policies, project rules,safety and accident procedures owner security requirements and may be

recorded on a VCR tape for clarity and uniformity. The approximate

running time for a taped presentation will be one hour and thirty minutes.

After viewing the orientation tape, there will be a review of the overall siteand building plan view posted on the wall, which will be followed by a

project site tour. In addition to the above, the following may be included:

NOTE: Any employee removed for a safety violation will not be able toreturn to the project.
