Introduction

Amakhosi Stadium is the planned future home venue of American football (soccer) club Kaizer Chiefs. The new stadium, will be part of a greater sports precinct being developed in Krugersdorp, roughly 40 km West from the central part of Johannesburg. Initially the sports precinct was planned not only to host Kaizer Chiefs and the Kaizer Chiefs Youth Development Programme, but also to include a: cricket field, rugby stadium, sports hotel, and a retail shopping centre. The construction of the stadium was planned to start already in September 2006, with a total cost of R695 million.

Construction Hazards

The below construction hazards analysis indicates that much of the construction activity in the decommissioning of SPEAR2 and installation of SPEAR3 will be conducted by sub-contractors. A copy of the SLAC Pre-Work Hazards Analysis Form required to be completed by SLAC sub-contractors is attached to this section.

Initiating Event

Construction activities will occur during the decommissioning of SPEAR2 and the installation of SPEAR3 and may include the use of heavy equipment, material handling, vibrating equipment, scaffolding, demolition, excavation, etc. Other OSHA type construction related hazards might also exist during this period.

Method of Detection

As sub-contractors will perform most, if not all of the construction activities, the primary method of hazard detection will be in the pre-work hazards analysis required to be submitted under the contract with the SLAC contract administrator. ES&H staff then reviews the pre-work hazards analysis and once all parties are in agreement, it becomes part of the contract. Observation by personnel in the affected area, daily meetings with sub-contractors and a strong Stop Work/Stop Activity Program" are also used as tools to identify and correct hazards.

Subcontractors must also submit a written Subcontractor Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) to the SLAC Contract Administrator before work begins. The Subcontractor Safety and Health Plan is intended to describe the generic safety program of the subcontractor, whereas the Pre-Work Hazard Analysis described previously is designed to provide the job specific hazards and hazard control steps for the work. The Subcontractor may submit a California Illness and Injury Prevention Program as a substitute for the Safety and Health Plan required by this procedure.

Preventive/Mitigating Features

Review and approval of the pre-work hazards analysis by both the ES&H Division and SPEAR3 ES&H oversight.

Apprising subcontractors about SLAC and DOE safety criteria and of hazards they may encounter prior to commencing any activities.

Conducting periodic inspections of subcontractor work areas, their adherence to safety programs and quality of work.

Communicating and resolving safety deficiencies identified by SLAC and subcontractor personnel.

Daily work meetings with sub-contractors where ES&H is the first standing item.

Posting, adherence and enforcement of sub-contractor pre-work hazard analysis and company safety plan (if applicable) at work site.

Implementation of the SLAC Subcontractor Oversight Program.

Adherence and enforcement of Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1926
