The Safety Manager holds independent stop-work authority and is accountable for the development, implementation, and enforcement of the site-specific safety and health plan. This person is present whenever work is being performed, conducts daily inspections, prepares Activity Hazard Analyses, and is the safety point of contact for the government.

• Prepare an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) for each definable feature of work before work begins.
• Review and brief applicable AHAs with affected employees and subcontractor crews.
• Document employee attendance and acknowledgment of AHA briefings.
• Maintain complete and current project safety documentation, including inspection records, training records, certifications, equipment inspections, permits, and corrective actions.

Daily Field Safety

• Conduct and document daily safety inspections of all active construction areas.
• Identify unsafe conditions, issue corrective actions, and track deficiencies through closure.
• Lead weekly toolbox talks and other required safety meetings.
• Conduct new-hire safety orientation for all workers before their initial entry onto the project site.
• Exercise stop-work authority when imminent danger or serious safety hazards are identified.
• Administer and monitor required safety permits, including hot work, confined-space entry, energized work, excavation, and roof-access permits.
• Verify compliance with applicable project, Government, and regulatory safety requirements.

Occupied-Facility Protection

• Protect students, instructors, employees, visitors, and other facility occupants from construction-related hazards.
• Establish and maintain barricades, overhead protection, safe egress routes, housekeeping standards, and controlled work areas.
• Coordinate vehicle, equipment, pedestrian, and traffic-control measures around active construction areas.
• Manage silica, dust, noise, and indoor air-quality controls associated with construction activities.
• Implement negative-air containment and HEPA filtration when required.
• Coordinate fire-watch requirements, fire-alarm impairments, and emergency-response procedures with FLETC emergency services.
• Maintain safe separation between construction activities and occupied or operational areas.

Incident Management and Reporting

• Investigate workplace incidents, near misses, injuries, and property-damage events.
• Perform root-cause analyses and develop appropriate corrective and preventive actions.
• Track corrective actions through completion and verify effectiveness.
• Report accidents and safety incidents to the Government within required timeframes and using required reporting formats.
• Maintain required incident and injury documentation.
• Track and report leading and lagging safety-performance indicators.
• Provide safety-performance reports and updates to Government representatives and corporate leadership.
• Identify safety trends and recommend actions to reduce recurring hazards and prevent future incidents
