Statement of Safety and Health Policy

The purpose of this policy for Davis Constructors and Engineers (Davis)
is to develop a high standard of safety throughout all phases of our
operations and to ensure no employee is required to work under any
hazardous or unsanitary conditions.

Davis firmly believes the individual employees have the right to derive
personal satisfaction from their jobs. Consequently, the prevention of
occupational injury or illness will be considered as a top priority at all
times.

Davis developed and maintains a complete accident prevention plan as
well as the necessary safety training programs. Each individual, from
top management to the jobsite craftperson, is responsible for the safety
and health of those persons in their charge as well as their co-workers.
By accepting mutual responsibility to operate safely, we all contribute to
the safety, health, and wellbeing of all personnel.

Active participation in and support of our safety commitment is essential
for its success. This accident prevention written program is a living
document that can and will be amended to reflect any and all changes in
conditions developing as this project progresses.

Davis staff and employees are aware of the potential for new hazards to
develop as a project progresses, and are trained to notify management of
any such circumstances or conditions as soon as identified.

In addition, staff and employees understand there’s an obligation to ask
questions when they do not fully understand what hazards may be
associated with a specific task or procedure. Davis is committed to the
belief there’s no such thing as a “stupid question” relative to safety and
health issues.

Site Specific Safety Plan 10-322 TAB 3: SAFETY POLICY & PROCEDURES

Safety Policy and Procedures

1.0 Introduction
1.1 General Information
A Site-Specific Safety Plan is a requirement of the OSHA
Standard for Construction 29 CFR 1926. This plan is designed
to identify, evaluate, and control health and safety hazards for
the purpose of protecting employees. The plan provides for
emergency response activities at the jobsite as well as covering
site hazard analysis, training requirements, engineering
controls, materials handling, and safe construction operations.
This Site-Specific Plan is intended to provide guidance and
information in dealing with the hazards that may be faced on
the job by Davis Constructors & Engineers Inc. (Davis)
employees. This plan is a site specific document. Technical,
Contract and/or Operational Managers are responsible for
ensuring all aspects of employee safety are addressed in this
plan. Health and safety personnel are available to assist
management with the contents of the plan. The health and
safety personnel help ensure the plan complies with all
applicable federal, state, and corporate regulations and policy.
The Health and Safety Department has final authority for this
plan’s contents and provisions.

1.2 Policy
Davis has a strong commitment to providing a safe and
productive workplace. To this end Davis seeks to establish
policies promoting high standards of employee health and safety
while delivering to our customer the highest quality product. In
keeping with this commitment Davis intends to maintain a
positive Safety Program and a Substance-Abuse Program. Our
employees conduct themselves and work in a safe manner
with good construction practices.
Effective safety demands cooperation on everyone’s part. Its
important communication is kept open at all times. For this
reason, Davis management practices an open-door policy.
Employees who notice hazards or other safety problems or feel
they need additional training must notify their supervisor.
Supervisors and management address these concerns and take
corrective action when warranted.

Responsibility for achieving our safety goals belongs to the site
superintendent, safety manager, supervisors, foreman,

employees, with the support of Davis management. Everyone is
obligated to know the safety requirements and standards for
their areas or job and abide by them. Supervisors must instill a
positive attitude and awareness of the “safety culture” in their
workers through personal adherence, training, personal
contact, and regularly scheduled safety meetings. It’s the duty
of all employees to perform their work with maximum regard for
their safety and co-workers’ safety.

Our safety policies are an integral part of the Davis personnel
policies. This means compliance with the policies is a condition
of employment and must be taken seriously. Failure to comply
with the Safety Program and Policy is grounds for disciplinary
action up to and including termination.

1.3 Purpose
The purpose of this Site-Specific Safety Plan is to illustrate
safety issues specific to the UAF LIFE SCIENCE FACILITY
Project. This site safety plan is consistent with the Safety Pro-
gram and Policies located in the Davis Corporate Safety Plan.

This plan is intended to maintain a safe work environment and
effectively reduce the number of accidents resulting in personal
injury, property damage, and damage to Davis equipment.

This policy applies to all Davis employees. By contract, all
subcontractors are required to comply with this policy in
addition to their own safety program and policy.

This policy complies with applicable local, state, and federal
laws concerning safety including 29 CFR 1926 and 29 CFR
1910. In the event a discrepancy exists between this policy and
any applicable law, the provisions of that law govern.

This policy is made available in the following ways:

• A copy of this revised policy is made available to each
newly hired employee in his/her new hire packet.

• A copy of this revised policy is available in the job site
office.

• A copy of this revised policy is available upon request to
the supervisor.

2.0 Scope of Project
2.1 Scope of the Work
The proposed project consists of approximately 101,000 sq. ft.
of new construction. The construction consists of:
• four above-ground floors and
• a mechanical penthouse of Type II Fire resistive
construction.
• a utilidor modification and pedestrian access to other
buildings.
• civil and mechanical installations involving excavations in
excess of 20 feet in depth. Code mandated special
engineering is included in the planning and execution.

2.2 Site Location
UAF Campus – West Ridge
Intersection of Koyukuk and Sheenjek Drives
Fairbanks, Alaska

2.3 Site Access/Traffic
During the start of construction in 2011 site access will be from
Farmers’ Loop Road via North Tanana Dr. or from Geist Road
via Thompson Dr. to Yukon Dr. to Sheenjek Dr.

Once Davis receives approval on access and parking locations,
all subcontractors and suppliers will be briefed during site
orientations prior to working on the project.

2.4 Temporary Facilities
At the start of the project Davis will have a field office as well as
crew and subcontractor trailers adjacent at the designated
location at the corner of Sheenjek Dr. and Koyukuk Dr. Also, a
tool and equipment storage trailer, fuel storage, and temporary
toilets will be at this location.

2.5 Utilities and Power
Temporary electrical power will feed to the project from existing
services on campus. Once the structure is substantially
complete, UAF Utilities will provide permanent power and steam
to the building.
