Contractor Safety Summit

Cal/VPP Safety Certification Program

Steve Ricklefs




Background

• What is Cal/VPP?• Cal/VPP: California Voluntary Protection Program

• Administrated through the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH)

• Cal/VPP emphasizes the importance of site specific occupational safety and health programs

• Encourages continuous improvement• Recognizes S&H systems that go beyond minimum Cal/OSHA standards• Culture mindset, not a workplace project task

• Employers are initially approved for participation in Cal/VPP• Bargaining union crafts play a significant role

• Follow-on assessments are conducted, prior to certification• Certification leads to recognition as a Cal/Star business site




Benefits of having an effective Cal/VPP program:

Improvement in employee motivation to work safely

Reduction in injuries and illnesses

Higher quality and productivity

Lower workers’ compensation costs

Networking with government and industry

Recognition in community

Exempt from routine compliance inspections



Cal/VPP Site Assessment

• Onsite assessment completed April 10-14th

• Favorable results received• Continued progress from initial contact and application filing

• Itemized “punchlist” received• 141 items identified

• Three Elements: Cal/VPP – Health & Safety Issues – Contractor• Type: Compliance, procedural, communication, training, oversight, employee engagement

• Categorized as opportunities for improvement

• Expectation that recommendations will be implemented

• Scheduled follow-up visit• No later than 90 days – Target Date: July 27th

• Monthly implementation status with tentative completion dates




Areas of greatest emphasis and effort required

1) Contractor Safety• 6/14 “red items”• Ensuring that we have full oversight of all contractor activity

2) Pre-Use Analysis• 5/14 “red items”• Hazard analysis and tracking closure of activity

3) Job Hazard Analysis• Approach to Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)

4) Self-Inspection Process• > 20 related items• hazard training, communication, employee engagement, area specific, closed loop action tracking…

Cal/VPP Assessment Status



Contractor Safety Findings

Opportunities for Improvement

• Ensure all required documentation is maintained in all contractors files, for example:

• Injury & Illness Prevention Program• Code of Safe Work Practices• OSHA Citation History• Current Ex-Mod Rate

• Develop and implement a Pre-Approved Contractor List • Enhance pre-screening process to clearly communicate requirements• Reviewed annually

• Enforce safety orientation meeting prior to beginning the job task• Interface with PWR coordinators will be crucial• Safety meetings will also be required for add-on work crews and all subs• Safety orientation form will address additional safety concerns



Opportunities for Improvement

• Develop protocol to ensure that unauthorized chemicals are not brought onto the site

• Initiate a contractor sign out log to account for job site presence in the event of an emergency

• Continued communication of PWR’s commitment to Cal/VPP and a zero safety incident workplace environment

• Lessons learned, incidents, proactive behavior…• Requirement changes

Partnership for Safety First – Safety Always!Partnership for Safety First – Safety Always!

Contractor Safety Findings



How can you help ?

• Understand the importance/benefits of Cal/VPP certification• Cal/VPP assessment team will return in early August • Communicate to your team members: Opportunities for improvement

• Continue to instill and support a culture of ZERO incidents• Talk and Walk safety• Engage employees in proactive behavior

• Take an active role in understanding the requirements of doing business with Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne

• Adhere to safety rules, policies and regulations• When it doubt….STOP work
