Airport Construction Risk Management and Safety
My Story: “The Classic Construction Accident Scenario”
We will discuss
• Why construction accidents occur
• How to assess airport construction risk
• What “safe contractors” have in common
ZERO ACCIDENTS TODAY
Construction by nature is inherently dangerous, with a high degree of hazard and risk
• Falls – from elevations • Electrical –power lines, equipment
• Struck By – mobile equipment, materials
• Caught In Between – trench cave-ins
“Four Deadly Exposures”(OSHA’s Focus Inspection
Program)
80% of all fatalities andserious injuries
800 Total4 per day
OSHA Compliance and Accident Prevention can be two different things
Effective R.M. and Safety Programs go beyond OSHA/Regulatory Compliance
Behavior must be addressed, both good and bad
www.safe-t-net.com/library.htm
“OSHA Compliance and Accident Prevention are not the same thing”
Behavior Is A Good Predictor of Accident Potential
Risky behavior usually doesn’t hurt anyone,
until it is repeated many times
It’s a numbers game
50 employees stand on the top of a step ladder once per day
Over 13,000 exposures in a year
You Will Have An Accident!
Let’s Look At An Example
If you had 13,000 pulls on a slot machine, do you think you’d win once?
The Solution: Controlling at Risk Behaviors A successful safety program focuses its efforts on the

Airport Construction Risk Assessment
You must answer 3 questions
• What are the construction operations performed?
• What are the hazard risks related to these operations?
• What are the means by which the contractor/airport prevents or controls these hazard risks?
Assess companywide risk or site-specific risk
OPERATIONS RISK HAZARDS CONTROLSElectrical – Service to Building and Inside the Building – Run new cable from transformer to building. Wire new building; panels; boxes; lights; Energize and test.
No power line. No high voltage (600)
Work at heights – over 6’ (ladders, lifts, scaffolds)
Work below ground (deeper than 5’)
Confined Spaces (manholes, vaults, tunnels)
Electrical Hot Work (changing breakers, updating existing systems)

Companywide Risk Assessment
The “Safest Contractors” Establish a Corporate Safety Culture
A consistent principle
A daily, company-wide commitment
A VALUE, not a priority
What does that mean??

1. Submit plans to the airport operator on how to comply with the safety requirements of the project.
2. Have available a copy of the project safety plan.
3. Comply with the safety plan associated with the construction project and ensure that construction personnel are familiar with safety procedures and regulations on the airport.
4. Provide a point of contact who will coordinate an immediate response to correct any Construction-related activity that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport.
5. Provide a safety officer/construction inspector familiar with airport safety to monitor Construction activities.
6. Restrict movement of construction vehicles to construction areas by flagging and barricading, erecting temporary fencing, or providing escorts, as appropriate.
7. Ensure that no construction employees, employees of subcontractors or suppliers, or other persons enter any part of the air operations areas (AOAs) from the construction site unless authorized.

Concrete Pipe Strikes Man DATELINE: Alabama, January 2016 A man working on a construction project at an airport was in a ditch. His crew was installing concrete pipes when one of the pipes shifted and struck him. He was pinned against the wall of the ditch. He died from his injuries.
Some Lessons Learned. Protect your workers from materials or
equipment from rolling or falling into a trench.
Keep everything at least 2’ back and secure it from moving.
Hoisted objects should be placed where workers are out of the “line of fire”.
Saw Kicks Back, Kills Operator
DATELINE: Connecticut, June 2015 A 39-yr.-old man was working on an airport runway project. He was using a gas-powered saw in a trench to cut through a water main when the saw kicked back and struck him in the neck.
Some Lessons Learned. Always wear proper PPE when
operating a gas-powered saw. All guards and other safety related
switches must be in place. All components (blades, handles, etc.)
must comply with the manufacturer’s specifications.
Operators must be trained per manufacturer’s requirements in the use of all powered equipment.
Paving Vehicle Runs Over, Kills Runway Worker
DATELINE: Washington, D.C., Dec. 2015 A man working on a runway repaving project at a large international airport was killed when he was run over by a paving truck.
Some Lessons Learned Make sure all alarm signals/horns are
operational before operating any heavy equipment or vehicle.
In congested areas use a spotter. Visibility is the key.
Operators must inspect equipment daily before operating.
Train your operators per manufacturer’s requirement.
Hoisted Concrete Falls, Kills Worker
DATELINE: Massachusetts, July 2015 An ironworker was killed when he fell 40 ft. from the third story of an airport garage under construction. He was part of a crew attempting to place a 32-ton precast concrete panel on the third floor. The man was trying to stabilize the panel when it fell. He fell after it and was killed in the fall.
Some Lessons Learned Stay out of the “line of fire” with hoisted
objects. Riggers must be trained. All slings and fittings must be inspected
before each use for wear and defects. All workers at height must have fall
protection (PFAS, guardrails, nets, for example).
Anchors must be independent of suspended loads.
Man Falls, crushed by Falling Rebar
DATELINE: California, May 2014 A man was climbing a tower of rebar in preparation for pouring concrete forms at a new rental car building at a large international airport. As he climbed, the rebar began to collapse. He yelled to nearby workers that he was in trouble, but he soon fell and was crushed by the falling material. Coworkers rushed to detach him from his harness and called 911, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Some Lessons Learned All rebar must be strong enough to
withstand loads. Utilize other methods to access heights,
like lifts. Training and inspection are keys here.

• Orient New Hires– At the site• Perform Daily Huddles• Develop J.S.A.’s – high hazard, infrequent• Perform DAILY INSPECTIONS• STOP unsafe behaviors• Reward safe behaviors• Report Near Misses • Determine Root Causes – Incidents/Near Misses• Drug Test• Hold management accountable
Daily Huddles versus Weekly Tool Box Talks

“Daily Pre-Work Meetings”
Yes, daily inspections means inspect daily!Take pictures. Good training resource.

This newly installed holding position sign is blocked by the old sign, which should have been removed rather than covered.
Problem Corrected
Daily Inspections are critical

The barricades for this construction area are at the entrance to the closed taxiway in the far background. Additional barricades should have also been
placed at the construction site in this situation. A pilot could have missed seeing the barricades if they approached the taxiway from the apron. This
could also be a potentially dangerous situation for vehicle operators at night.
How long did this hazard exist?

These large light can holes are located in the runway safety area and were not covered up before opening the runway.
This is an open runway?

Risk Management & Safety Programs
The primary reason we have risk management and safety programs isto make sure everyone goes home safe to their families everydayNever lose sight of thisZERO ACCIDENTS TODAY should be the goal.
