5.2.1         Work Control and Authorization

5.2.1.1       Work Planning and Control

Each Subcontractor performing construction work at LBNL is required to develop a Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) prior to conducting any work activities on site. The Authorizing Individuals and Responsible Individuals shall ensure that work planning and control measures are fully implemented and appropriately monitored through the use of the Site Specific Safety Plan and Construction Safety Checklist , the Job Hazards Analysis (JHA), Work Coordination Meetings, Plan of the Day Meetings, and Pre-task Hazard Analysis briefings as defined in this manual, and in  LBNL PUB-3000 Chapter 8, Chapter 10, and Chapter 18 including applicable requirements contained in related safety documentation.

5.2.1.2       Authorizing Individual and Responsible Individual

To assure subcontractor work is sufficiently defined and there is a clear work control process, all subcontracted work requires assignment of an Authorizing Individual and a Responsible Individual and identification of Work Authorization Level.

  • AUTHORIZING INDIVIDUAL FOR SUBCONTRACT WORK: The Authorizing Individual (AI) is designated by the Facilities Division and responsible for a work activity’s technical, financial, administrative, and EHS objectives.
  • RESPONSIBLE INDIVDUAL FOR SUBCONTRACT WORK:  The Responsible Individual (RI) is designated by the Facilities Division and responsible for work directly performed by the subcontractor.

5.2.1.3       Work Authorization Levels

Work control increases as the complexity of work and hazards increase. The designation of a work authorization level (WAL) is designed to ensure pre-task identification of risks and a graded approach to oversight and control. A clear definition of the scope of work is required so that the work planning process can identify hazards associated with the work and select the appropriate controls.

5.2.1.3.1                              Work Authorization Level A

WAL A work activities are activities commonly performed by the public and the hazards are commonly encountered by the public. WAL A activities can be self-authorized with the knowledge of the supervisor. These activities (e.g., driving automobiles, riding bicycles) may proceed at an individual’s discretion in accordance with generally accepted practices. Because the work is self-authorized, the individual performing the activity releases the work and is responsible for working safety. Assignment of a RI and AI is not required. 

5.2.1.3.2                              Work Authorization Level B: Standard Controls with Review

WAL B work activities involve task or area hazards beyond WAL A activities and controls. For example, work may include potential exposure to hazardous energy requiring Lockout/Tagout, working above 6 feet, work requiring a permit, traffic controls, work requiring safety glasses and hard hat. Such activities require a detailed scope of work and hazards analysis, authorization, and documentation. The work activity task and area must be clearly described. The AI authorizes  the activities, with concurrence of the EHS team lead, the RI, and the Facility Manager.           The authorization is based upon determination that funds are available, activity            description is accurate and well defined, associated hazards have been identified, and necessary controls have been identified. The RI confirms description of work, hazard controls, availability of materials, and qualified and trained workers. The RI releases the work and provides monitoring and oversight of the work.

5.2.1.3.3                              Work Authorization Level C: Supplemental Controls

WAL C work activities involve more significance hazards and environmental effect than WAL B activities. Work may include High Risk activities; exposure to hazardous energy (electrical

>480v), exposure to hazardous materials, excavation or trenching greater than 6 feet. WAL C activities require a detailed scope of work and hazards analysis, a task specific Safety Plan, authorization, and documentation. The work activity task and area must be clearly described. The AI authorizes the activities, with concurrence of the EHS team lead, the RI, and the Facility Manager. The authorization is based upon determination that funds are available, activity description is accurate and well defined, associated hazards have been identified, and necessary controls identified. The RI confirms description of work, hazard controls, availability of materials, and qualified and trained workers. The RI releases the work and provides monitoring and oversight of the work.

Refer to Design and Construction Procedure DCM 001 “Work Requiring Responsible Individual” for more information.

5.2.1.4    Field Changes to Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP)

Field changes (i.e., red line, pen and ink changes) to the SSSP are acceptable. The updated SSSP shall be reviewed and the changes accepted and initialed by the LBNL Construction Manager.     All affected Subcontractor personnel involved in the work being performed shall review             the SSSP and any subsequent changes. The SSSP shall be kept at the worksite and available for review. 

5.2.2         Safety Documents

Project Managers are responsible for obtaining the following safety documentation from the construction subcontractor:

  • Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP), and a completed Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) with its embedded Construction Safety Checklist.
  • Non-Construction Safety Checklist, if applicable.
    • Job Hazards Analysis (JHA). The JHA and all other work procedures for Demolition, Excavation, and Trenching permits shall be submitted by the subcontractor a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the start of this work.
    • Any subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor requests for Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) acceptance and supporting documentation as required in LBNL PUB- 3000, Chapter 8, Work Process F, AHJ Acceptance of Construction Subcontractor QEWs.

The Authorizing Individual, typically the Project Manager, verifies that the description of work in the subcontractor’s SSSP and Non-Construction Safety Checklist (if applicable) are consistent with the approved scope of work and include the level of detail necessary to ensure all hazards on the project are analyzed. The AI authorizes the work and coordinates the issuance of the “Notice To Proceed” with LBNL Procurement.

LBNL Procurement will not issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP) until the subcontractor site-specific safety plan (SSSP) or safety checklist has been reviewed by EHS, the Responsible Individual, and the Authorizing Individual. No construction activity is allowed on site until Procurement issues the NTP.

5.2.3         Safety Document Review

Safety documents need to be reviewed by EHS and the project team.

5.2.3.1       Outside Construction Subcontractors

The Authorizing Individual and Responsible Individual shall review the subcontractor’s safety program and verify that the subcontractor’s safety program has been reviewed by EHS, and that the appropriate JHA has been approved by the Responsible Individual and EHS construction safety representative prior to start of construction:

  • The Project Manager receives the safety documents from the subcontractor and gives them preliminary review, then forwards them to the Responsible Individual and Construction Safety Engineer. Project plans, specifications, and other project-pertinent information are provided to the Construction Safety Engineer as appropriate and/or upon request.
  • The Construction Safety Engineer and the Responsible Individual review and sign the documents and returns them to the Project Manager.
  • The Project Manager approves and signs the documents, and transmits them to the subcontractor.
  • The Responsible Individual shall review Job Hazards Analyses with the construction workers.
  • All construction workers sign the JHA to acknowledge that they have reviewed it.
  • The approved safety documents will be maintained in the project files and on the jobsite.

5.2.3.1.1            Subcontractor and Lower-Tier Subcontractor Acceptance of Construction Subcontractor Qualified Electrical Workers (QEW)

All subcontractor employees who perform work on hazardous electrical equipment shall first be required to be accepted by the Electrical AHJ for Safe Work Practices as Subcontractor QEWs in accordance with LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 8, Work Process F or G. This includes both live and deenergized work, for build, service, maintenance, and repair of equipment.

Subcontractor and lower-tier subcontractor QEWs as defined by Chapter 8 of LBNL PUB-3000 must verify their experience, NFPA 70E training, and other requirements as mandated by Work Process F, AHJ Acceptance of Construction Subcontractor QEWs, prior to the start of any work that requires QEW status. This verification is submitted by the subcontractor or lower-tier subcontractor firm on the Subcontractor Employer’s Statement of QEW Approval.

The Project Manager shall submit to the Facilities Division Electrical Safety Officer who, in conjunction with the Electrical AHJ, shall review and approve as appropriate any Subcontractor

Employer’s Statement of QEW Approval. Other documents as defined in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 8, Work Process F may be required for submission.

5.2.4         Electrical Authority Having Jurisdiction for Safe Electrical Installations

The Electrical Installation Authority Having Jurisdiction (IAHJ) is delegated the authority according to the Facilities Safe Electrical Installation Policy to approve planning, inspection, testing, and energization of new electrical installations and modifications to existing electrical systems and equipment. DCM Project Managers (AIs), Construction Managers (RIs), other DCM employees, and subcontractors shall fully comply with the assigned responsibilities under this policy and procedure.

5.2.5         Facilities Operations Department Support

Hazards analyses for in-house Operations Department support is performed in accordance with the Hazards Analysis Process/Maximo Work Flow (refer to Appendix H, Environment/Health/ Safety). In addition, the Project Manager shall meet with and/or hold a pre-start meeting with applicable project staff, which may include the Operations Department supervisor, EHS representative, and leads from the crafts to discuss safety hazards, schedule, logistics, and work coordination. In-house Construction Services shall possess an approved Work Order and Task- Based Job Hazards Analysis, as applicable prior to performing work. Refer to Appendix H, Environment/Health/Safety, Hazards Analysis Process/Maximo Work Flow, for a detailed description of this process.

This process description includes the Procedure For Safe Work Control Release, a post job inspection procedure used to ensure that craft work has been left in a safe condition at the end of the work. The Project Manager is required to sign the Procedure for Safe Work Control Release Form.

5.2.6         Safety Controls and Oversight

Safety requirements, controls, and oversight as mandated in this document, in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 10, Construction Safety, and related implementing documents including the LBNL Construction Safety Requirements Manual shall be implemented on all projects, including, at a minimum:

  • Electrical Incident Emergency Response: The contents of LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 8, Work Process K, as applicable, shall be written into the subcontractor’s and lower-tier subcontractors’ Emergency Response Plan.
  • Pre-start Meeting: A pre-start meeting will be held for all projects. The Construction Pre-start Meeting Agenda lists construction safety topics to be discussed at this meeting. At a minimum, the Responsible Individual shall attend all pre-start and work kick-off meetings.
  • Safety Orientation: The Responsible Individual will ensure that subcontractors receive a safety orientation prior to performing work on site.
  • Tool Box Safety Training: The Responsible Individual will ensure that tool box safety training is conducted at least weekly.
  • Plan of the Day (POD): Subcontractors on every project shall schedule a Plan of the Day meeting to communicate to the workforce all of the work planned for the job site for that day.  The primary purpose of the POD is to provide communication to the various crews and site personnel of the various activities planned for the day, of hazards that everyone needs to be aware of, and to provide an opportunity to resolve potential conflicts between work tasks. The POD may also be used to communicate lessons learned, special safety topics, and other general project communications. The Plan of the Day will be appropriately documented by the subcontractor. The RI shall verify that the Plan of the Day is attended by all personnel working on the job that day and that the POD is thorough and well communicated. The RI shall verify that the subcontractor documents the POD and the information is available for University review.

All active permits on the project shall be referenced during the POD.

Refer to LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 10, and the LBNL Construction Safety Manual Section Contractor Plan of the Day Meeting for additional information and specific requirements.

  • Pre-task Hazard Analysis (PTHA). A PTHA shall be completed according to the requirements contained in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 10, and in the LBNL Construction Safety Manual. The PTHA will be reviewed at the crew level at the beginning of each shift and updated as necessary to address changes that occur during the shift. The subcontractor shall conduct a pre-task review / briefing that discusses the corresponding PTHA, the work tasks, and associated procedures and hazards with all affected parties to identify and coordinate logistics, controls, and communications required for the activity. Each worker involved in that work must sign the PTHA prior to performing work. All PTHAs must be kept at the work site to be available for review by workers and oversight personnel.

On large projects a separate PTHA meeting may be held after the Plan of the Day meeting.


Only the work documented in the PTHA and discussed in the Pre-job briefing may be performed. Any change in scope or hazards during the shift requires an update of the PTHA and a re-briefing of the affected workers. If, while working, it is discovered that the controls addressed in the PTHA will not/do not provide adequate protection then the task at hand shall be stopped and not be conducted until the hazards have been re-assessed, the PTHA updated, and adequate controls implemented.


If new workers join the task after the briefing, the new workers must receive the pre-job PTHA briefing prior to starting work.

  • LBNL Coordination Meeting. Based upon the size or complexity (risk) of the project, the Project Team may optionally require, by subcontract or change notice, an LBNL Coordination Meeting. Prior to the Daily POD Meeting a LBNL Coordination Meeting shall be held to review project/task status and confirm readiness of the proposed work package, to include personnel (qualification tasking), tools, equipment, and required permit status. The minimum required attendees include: the LBNL Project Manager or designee, the Subcontractor’s Superintendent, the LBNL Work Planner/Coordinator, and the Subcontractor’s Safety Officer. The meeting will verify the risk matrix and basis of safety for each proposed activity, adequately address any concerns, identify hold points, and schedule coordination actions to complete the preplanning activities. All items in the work package will be updated as necessary and only the line items confirmed as complete will be authorized for the next day’s activities.
  • Daily Log of Construction: The Project Manager, or Construction Manager, if assigned, will prepare a daily construction progress report for each day he/she is on the job, noting all construction activity.
  • Electrical Safety: All subcontractor electrical work and electrical installations shall comply with the LBNL Electrical Safety Program requirements, including the applicable contents of the LBNL Electrical Safety Manual (ESM), LBNLPUB-3000,Chapter 8 and Chapter 18, NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and associated implementing processes and procedures.
  • Construction Managers in conjunction with QEW Supervisors and LOTO Responsible Individuals (RI) shall ensure as appropriate that Subcontractor Electrical Foreman validate implementation and submit to the CM for review their documentation of compliance with all required processes and steps mandated in the policies and programs described above.
  • Safety Inspections (Walkarounds): Facilities Supervisors, Project Directors, Project Managers (AIs), and Construction Managers (RIs) must conduct and document safety inspections and observations in work areas and projects under their control according to the requirements of Facilities SOP0007 Safety Inspection Standard Operating Procedure.
    As part of the RI’s responsibilities for daily observation and reporting, the RI will interview subcontractor workers. The answers to the interview questions shall be included in daily inspection documentation according to the requirements of Facilities SOP0007 Safety Inspection Standard Operating Procedure.
  • The EHS Construction Safety Engineer will periodically visit construction jobsites to ensure that the subcontractor is performing the work in conformance with safety regulations and the approved safety plan.
  • Full time Construction Manager field oversight will be implemented for all capital construction and complex work.
  • Stop Work Order: For serious or repeat violations, the Construction Safety Engineer or Construction Manager or Project Manager may issue a verbal stop work order followed by a Safety Deficiency Notice, requiring, within 24 hours, a written correction plan that identifies steps to be taken to correct the hazard and prevent further occurrences of the same type. 

5.2.6.1       Pause and Stop Work Authority

Pause Work: Pausing work is ISM core function 5, “Obtain Feedback and Improve.” Each worker at LBNL is empowered to pause the task they are performing to evaluate the hazards and  controls associated with the task. The LBNL RI should reinforce this concept as part of the Plan of the Day briefing. If LBNL Project members or EHS staff observe subcontractor workers at risk due to a de-minimis or low severity safety observation, then the individual worker should be directed to pause work and make appropriate correction or adjustment to the hazard controls applicable to the task being performed. Upon revising the hazard controls, work may resume.

Pause work may also be voluntary when changes in the work or a new or unanticipated hazard are identified.

5.2.6.2       Halt Work or Stop Work Order

If any member of the LBNL Project or EHS staff observes construction activities that create an imminent danger, or where significant damage to equipment or property, or environmental degradation could occur if the operation continued, or if work authorization permit requirements are not followed, a verbal Stop Work Order shall be given to the Subcontractor.  A Stop Work Order requires a halt to work within the immediate area of a hazardous condition. The LBNL

Project staff member shall follow the incident report process, and stand by until a preliminary investigation into the safety incident can be conducted.  A stand down meeting with the affected worker may be held. Work may not resume without authorization from the LBNL PM or CM.

If a High or Medium level safety observation is identified, then the Subcontractor shall immediately cease all construction activity applicable operations. The LBNL Project staff member shall follow the incident report process, and stand by until a preliminary investigation into the safety incident can be conducted. A stand down of the work will be held. A Safety Deficiency Notice shall then be issued by LBNL project management to the Subcontractor detailing the findings and directing the Subcontractor to prepare for LBNL review a set of corrective actions to revise the hazard controls. Work may not resume without authorization from the LBNL PM or CM, including approval of the Subcontractor corrective action plan.

A Stop Work Notice is used by the Subcontractor Administrator (Procurement) in the event of a subcontractor default. Per the Subcontract General Provisions, Clause 11:

The Subcontractor shall immediately take action to correct any noncompliance with the requirements of this clause. In the event that the Subcontractor fails to comply with said regulations or requirements of the University or the DOE, the University may, without prejudice to any other legal or contractual rights of the University, issue a stop-work order stopping all or any part of the work; thereafter, a start order for resumption of the work may be issued at the discretion of the University. The Subcontractor shall make no claim for an extension of time or for compensation or damages by reason of or in connection with such work stoppage. 

5.2.7         Permits

A listing of common permits follows:

  • Air Emissions Permits and Notifications: All projects that involve demolition of a structure or involve removal of regulated asbestos-containing materials require notification or permits from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD).  The Project Manager shall coordinate with the EHS team to ensure proper notification is made.
  • Penetration Permits: A Permit to Penetrate Ground or Excavate Surface of LBNL Property is required for all concrete surface (walls, floors, ground including asphalt paving, etc.) penetration work regardless of depth.  For other types of  penetrations, a Penetration Permit is required if the penetration depth is greater than a specified depth. Refer to the current version of Facilities Operations  Administrative Procedure-053, Permit to Penetrate Ground or Excavate Surfaces of LBNL Property for additional details, including depth specifications, exceptions and the variance request process. The Project Manager will request the permit from the LBNL Utilities Coordinator, and after surveys are completed and signatures obtained, the permit will be posted at the jobsite. Work shall not proceed until all required signatures are obtained, and construction activities shall adhere to all conditions of the permit.
  • Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) Permits: All subcontractors performing work for LBNL  are required to conform to the LBNL LOTO Program as mandated in LBNL PUB- 3000, Chapter 8 and Chapter 18, and other related electrical safety documents. All subcontractor LOTO permits require a designated LOTO Responsible Individual (RI) who submits LOTO requests through the LOTO Permit Database. Before participating in any LOTO, subcontractors must have an approved and printed subcontractor LOTO permit and must be briefed by the designated LOTO RI. Prior to the issuance of a subcontractor LOTO permit, the subcontractor shall first submit their company LOTO program or equivalent company policy document to the EHS Electrical Safety Group. Additionally, the subcontractor company must submit a signed statement on company letterhead certifying that all their employees have been trained as LOTO Authorized Persons in the context of OSHA 1910.147(c)(7) as described in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 18. All subcontractors shall receive a subcontractor LOTO orientation by the RI that covers the specific process requirements used at LBNL.

  • Electrical Permits: All electrical repair work shall be performed deenergized by a Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) and in an Electrically Safe Work Condition, unless approved by an Energized Electrical Work Permit (EEWP). An EEWP shall only be approved in extraordinary circumstances and as a last resort as defined and in accordance with the requirements in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 8, and other applicable electrical safety documents. Applications for EEWP are reviewed and approved by the Electrical AHJ for Safe Work Practices. Work will not commence until the permit is issued. Construction activities shall adhere to any conditions of the permit.
  • Subcontractor employees are not permitted to be within the Limited Approach Boundary of uninsulated energized electrical parts without a Subcontractor Energized Electrical Testing Permit (EETP). This includes testing, troubleshooting, inspecting, and nonelectrical work within the Limited Approach Boundary. LOTO verification testing is treated as energized work, but is covered by the LOTO permit.  An EETP is not required in this case. The LBNL Responsible Individual (RI)   obtains the permit and shall conduct a briefing with all of the workers, explaining to them the scope of the EETP and their respective roles and responsibilities as mandated in LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 8, and in the Electrical Safety Manual.
    Workers shall comply with the requirements of these documents including all terms, scope, and conditions stated on the permit. Any changes to the EETP must be routed through the Electrical Safety Group for approval.
  • Fire Safety (Burn) Permits: All operations with open flames that cause sparks, or are near gas lines or combustible storage containers, require a Fire Safety Permit for Hot Work or Hazardous Operations issued by the Fire Department (ext. 6015) per LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 12. The Project Manager or Construction Manager requests the permit from the Fire Department. Activities requiring a permit include electric arc and gas welding and flame-cutting, other open flame operations, tar kettles, powder-activated tools, and excavations. Work will not commence until the permit is issued. Construction activities shall adhere to any conditions of the permit.
  • Radiological Work Permit: DCM holds a Radiological Work Permit (RWP) that authorizes radiological work and specifies radiological precautions/controls associated with site-wide remodeling work in areas with the potential to contain radioactive materials. A specific work plan for each project must be submitted to the RWP Program Manager.

Other Facilities Departments may have RWPs that govern aspects of DCM-managed projects, e.g., the RWP for soil density and moisture measurement gauges. The Project Manager shall ensure that project activities are in compliance with all applicable RWPs.

5.2.8         Reporting

5.2.8.1       Accidents

The Project Manager shall promptly inform, via direct contact, the Facilities Work Request Center, Facilities line management (Project Director, DCM Department Head and the Facilities Division Deputy Director) and the EHS Team Lead of any accidents, injuries, or occupational illnesses that occur on the project for determination of reporting requirements. Significant construction safety events may require DOE Occurrence Reports (refer to LBNL PUB-3000, Chapter 15, for requirements). In case of serious accidents, the worksite must remain undisturbed until the  proper LBNL authorities have been notified and the accident site has been released for work by the EHS Division.

If the injured employee is employed by a subcontractor, the subcontractor shall complete and submit an accident investigation report with corrective actions stated to the LBNL Project Manager within 24 hours in accordance with contract specifications.

5.2.8.1.1            Electrical Incident Reporting

Excepting normal static electric shocks from carpets and similar sources, all electrical shocks, however minor, shall be immediately reported to the Construction Manager (RI) and to LBNL Health Services at x6266 (dial 911 in case of serious emergency).

5.2.8.2       Violation of Electrical Safety Policy
