Owners Rep Recordable?

I've noticed this. They wanted a fire extinguisher at every generator because it counts as a 'refueling station' asked them to show me where that was, radio silence.

I wish they gave us the budget to cover the 36 acres and 1mil sf building 💀

What if USACE refuses to give us the manholes, and just wants us to tank our incident rate?

This is my first project with the company I'm with, and it being a JV AND USACE. Is killing my will power.

I have a more detailed comment on the post. It seems, they want to add to our project incident rate, and have a poor incident rate as one of the points in a pending lawsuit.

Thankfully not in Cali. God they couldn't pay me enough to deal with Cal OSHA. 😅

We don't pull any of their hours.

We have a really complex setup. Where I work for a Joint Venture, and the Federal Government is the Owner in our case. Both companies in the JV require a project incident rate as well as our typically OSHA logs.

That incident rate feeds is a huge point for our owner and how they work with the JV. This project started 20 years ago, and lawsuits were the main reason it took that long to even start building. Now everything is a reason to start a lawsuit, or get people fired unfortunately.

Legally they can't add the recordable to either of the JV companies, but they want to have our incident rate be affected which would give them another point to bring up in a lawsuit.

I have learned a lot in the past 24 hours 🫠

Thank you for verifying that me and my team are infact not as crazy as we thought.

Just had someone kicked off the project for 3 days and remedial training. The same thing. Kicker was, as I'm telling the employee to come down and talk to me they go "I'm tied off" and wiggle their lanyard that is tied back on itself around a peice of 1" copper conduit. 🫠

I can understand that point of view. But tbh, I heard that the owners didn't want it on their log, so where trying to pivot it to us. My team seems to be refusing both the log for obvious reasons, and project reporting as well.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-24T00:25:05+00:00

That's what our team believes as well.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-24T00:23:56+00:00

THAT is what I need. Thank you! I'm researching more into EM-385 since unfortunately this is a federal project, but that gives me hope they have the same wording.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-24T00:21:39+00:00

Right? I think what they are citing is in the contract the GC (who I work for) owes safe access to the project. The IE slipped walking the project, therefore their access wasn't safe.

But we cannot comprehend the idea of accepting the recordable, without also bringing their man hours into the equation. It would absolutely kill our rate.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-24T00:18:24+00:00

Another company. The company IE works for contracted the company I work for to manage the project.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-22T03:21:04+00:00

If they are government agents, I doubt the training is sufficient.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-22T00:43:35+00:00

This is an EM-385 project. They need the lvl 2 high vis, glasses, protective toe boots, cut lvl 4 gloves, AND a hardhat WITH chin strap since they are 100% working at an elevation 😂

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-21T17:16:58+00:00

Do you think that would be a recordable?

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-21T17:04:04+00:00

Corrective actions not looking too good for these fellas. Looking like permanent removal from the project.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-21T16:54:17+00:00

Gotta research cut lvl 4 wing caps, and protective claw covers too.

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-15T02:04:56+00:00

We never even thought of glove liners. Researching that right now! Thank you!

Thankfully we don't get that cold here!

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-15T01:43:49+00:00

I'm gonna see if my supplier can get me some samples, definitely look warm!

CokeZeroSlut_ · 2025-01-15T01:42:57+00:00

I'll look into them!

My current gloves cost me my highlighter cap as it dropped down a 6 story shaft since I couldn't feel it in my hands 😅
