A Key to Successful Project Planning
Environmental, Health and Safety Regulatory Considerations
Construction Projects Including: – demolition, – remodel, – renovation, and – new construction
Environmental Issues
Asbestos Assessment/Abatement Every project is subject to having Risk
Management verify the presence or absence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and developing a scope of abatement in conjunction with the Project Manager (PMs).
Document all verifications in writing
Planning Abatement Actions RM needs to review the project scope during the
design phase to determine a scope of abatement An accurate scope will ensure projects are
completed within budget and on-time To accurately estimate abatement costs and
timeframe the following are needed:– Plans review– Building inspections to identify or confirm the type and
extent of ACM Abatement actions and demolitions typically:
– require 10-day notification to a local regulatory agency– occur prior to the start of construction, but may occur in
phases throughout the project if necessary
Funding Asbestos Assessment/Abatement Each project is responsible for funding all
asbestos-related actions including:– Building inspections/surveys and
accompanying laboratory analyses– All environmental consultant and contractor
costs including waste disposal On a “funds-available basis” Risk
Management covers abatement costs for:– operation and maintenance of the campus/plant– smaller carpet replacement projects
Scheduling Asbestos Assessment/Abatement Allow sufficient turnaround time for all asbestos
service requests, i.e., surveys, not-to-exceed estimates or bidding process. – The Asbestos Abatement Project Management
Responsibility Matrix provides general timeframes and guidance (RSK 106a)
– The Request for Asbestos Services is useful for small projects
Requesting abatement for “peak season” or on an “emergency” basis involves paying premium costs
Building Owner Liability/Worker Protection Per OSHA, ASU must notify contractors of
the location, extent and type of ACM in or adjacent to the work area
ASU must ensure that contractors are notified of the restricted access provision on the utility tunnel system
If lead paint is known to be present, ASU must notify the contractor.
Confined Space Entry
Definition & Requirements
A Confined Space is a Space That…1. Is large enough and so configured that an employee
can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and
2. Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and
3. Is not designed for continuous human occupancy.
E.g.: storage tanks, process vessels, bins, silos, boilers, ventilation or exhaust ducts, sewers, pipe chassis, electrical vaults, steam tunnels, underground utility vaults, tunnels, pipelines, manure pits or other similar types of enclosures.
Permit Required Confined Space
A confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics; therefore requiring a permit:
1. Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere;
2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant;
3. Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or
4. Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.
Non-Permit Confined Space
A non-permit confined space is a confined space that does not contain, nor has the potential to contain, any uncontrolled hazard capable of causing death or serious physical harm.
Indoor Air Quality Management
Undertaking Construction & Remodeling Activities:Things to Think About Before You Start
Common Pollutants & Sources
Particulates (dust & fibers) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Combustion Products (exhaust, smoke) Biological Materials (mold, bacteria) Other (ozone, metal fumes, ammonia,
chlorine)
Six Steps to Avoid IAQ Complaints
1. Initial Planning: Identify contaminants, pathways, and controls
2. Isolate Major Construction Areas and Use Source Control
3. Protect the Ventilation System4. Notify Occupants5. On-going Management6. Consult References: ASHRAE/ANSI,
SMACNA, EPA
Other Activities That Impact IAQ
Water Restoration Custodial Activities HVAC Maintenance HVAC & Ventilation Design Pesticide Applications Roofing Projects Painting
Air Pollution Permit
Air Pollution Permit
Designed to monitor air pollution generating equipment
Fuel Burning Equipment Notification – 7 days prior to installation
Lamp and Ballast Disposal
All electronic lamps All ballasts Risk Management manages shipment from ASU,
project manager ensures removal of devices from discarded fixtures and packages lamps and ballasts in appropriate drums.

Fire and Life Safety
Plans Review & Approval
State Law:– All plans & specifications for construction,
remodel, etc… for any state, county, or public school SHALL be submitted to the State Fire Marshal prior to construction.
Two Review Stages:– Preliminary/Estimating/Planning – Approved to Proceed & Funded
Building & Fire Code
Code Analysis Research/Study Plans Review Inspection Phases
Fire Protection System
Three Fire Protection Categories– Fire Separation (Automatic & Manual)– Fire Detection (Automatic & Manual)– Fire Suppression (Automatic & Manual)
Fire Protection System
Most Common Rules for Upgrades – Existing Nonconforming Conditions– 50% of Value– 50% of Square Footage– Accumulation of Projects– Type of Occupancy– Hazardous Conditions/Concerns– Occupied Construction Concerns
Certificate of Occupancy
Certification of all life safety systems are inspected, tested, and verified operational per code (CofO by State Fire Marshal)– Green Tag & Yellow Tag
(Red Tag— no occupancy allowed)
Inspector Checklist Punch List
Construction Site Safety
Construction Site Safety Safety measures may exceed regulatory
requirements to ensure the campus community is adequately protected.
Contractor’s are responsible for complying with all OSHA regulations including worksite safety
RM will get involved when:– A contractor performs an unsafe act that is observed by
RM staff or reported to the RM office. The PM will be notified; the contractor must mitigate the situation.
– An ASU employee performs an unsafe act that is observed or reported to the RM office. The department/supervisor is notified and responsible for mitigating the situation.
Construction Liability and Property Insurance
Property Insurance Coverage Damage to ASU property by a contractor’s error is
covered by the contractor’s insurance State of Arizona provides real and personal
property insurance coverage– covered are damages caused by vandalism, acts of God
such as flooding, lightning strikes
– exclusions include obsolescence, maintenance, and mysterious disappearance
Any real or personal property claim must be submitted within 90 days from date of loss or discovery
