American
National
Standard
Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the
requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have
been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the
judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has
been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial
agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and
that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American
National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any
respect preclude anyone, whether he/she has approved the standards or not,
from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or
procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards
Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstance give an
interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall
have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National
Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for
interpretation should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name
appears on the title page of this standard.
Caution Notice: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn
at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require
that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard.
Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on
all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

This standard is one of a series of safety standards that have been formulated by the
Accredited Standards Committee on Safety in Construction and Demolition Operations,
A10. It is expected that the standards in the A10 series will find a major application in
industry, serving as a guide to contractors, labor, and equipment manufacturers. For the
convenience of users, a list of existing and proposed standards in the A10 series for
Safety Requirements in Construction and Demolition Operations follows.
A10.42
A10.43
A10.44
A10.46
A10.47
A10.48
A10.49
Rigging Qualifications and Responsibilities in the Construction Industry
Confined Spaces in Construction (under development)
Lockout/Tagout in Construction
Hearing Loss Prevention
Highway Construction Safety
Communication Tower Erection (under development)
Control of Health Hazards (under development)
One purpose of these standards is to serve as guides to governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over subjects within the scope of the A10 Committee standards. If these
standards are adopted for governmental use, the reference of other national codes or
standards in individual volumes may be changed to refer to the corresponding
regulations.
Revisions: The A10 Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this standard.
Revisions are made to the standard periodically (usually five years from the date of the
standard) to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated
by experience gained from the application of the standard. Proposals should be as
specific as possible, citing the relevant paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and
the reason for the proposal. Pertinent documentation would enable the A10 Committee to
process the changes in a more timely manner.
No one but the A10 Committee (through the A10 Secretariat) is authorized to provide any
interpretation of this standard.
Approval: Neither the A10 Committee nor American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
"approves," "certifies," "rates," or "endorses" any item, construction, proprietary device, or
activity.
Appendices: Appendices are included in most standards to provide the user with
additional information related to the subject of the standard. Appendices are not part of
the approved standard.
Committee Meetings: The A10 Committee meets twice a year. Persons wishing to attend
a meeting should contact the Secretariat for information.
Standard Approval: This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by
the American National Standards Committee on Safety in Construction and Demolition
Operations, A10. Approval of the standard does not necessarily imply (nor is it required)
that all Committee members voted for its approval. At the time this standard was
published, the A10 Committee had the following members:

Appendix B – The following Appendix is non-mandatory and is included for informational
purposes only.
Safety and Health Performance Measurement Criteria Guidelines
Examples of safety and health performance measurement criteria that can be used to evaluate
contractors’ safety and health performance are shown below. The ANSI A10 Committee
recommends the use of leading indicators. The committee believes that leading indicators
reflect a company’s safety performance more accurately than lagging indicators.
Leading Indicators
Leading indicators are metrics used to measure occupational safety and health activities. The
results can be used to identify shortcomings in safety and health programs and identify
corrective action necessary to prevent work related injuries and illnesses.
Examples of leading indicators:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Implementation of multi-employer site safety and health program
Implementation of contractor safety and health program
Frequency of project safety and health inspections
Tracking of safe/unsafe work practices
Percentage of inspection issues properly corrected
Frequency of safety and health communications i.e. safety meetings, formal safety
training sessions, short-duration training sessions, etc.
Frequency of investigations of incidents that resulted in work related injury or illness
Frequency of investigations of near miss incidents
Implementation of action plan for addressing results of investigations
Frequency of repeat incidence
Frequency of task hazard analyses performed for high hazard activities
Implementation of substance abuse program, which includes alcohol and drug
testing
Implementation of 100% hard hat and safety glasses policy
Lagging Indicators
Lagging indicators are metrics used to measure past occupational safety and health
performance. The results can be used to identify negative safety and health trends and identify
corrective action necessary to prevent future work related injuries and illnesses.
Occupational Injury and Illness Incidence Rates
Occupational injury and illness incidence rates are derived from a simple calculation. The rates
represent frequency and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses, and are calculated
based on 100 full time workers. Examples of occupational injury and illness incidence rates:
•
•
•
•
Fatality incidence rate
Recordable case injury incidence rate
Recordable case illness incidence rate
Recordable case injury and illness incidence rate

Lost workday cases injury incidence rate
Lost workday cases illness incidence rate
Lost workday cases injury and illness incidence rate
Lost workdays injury incidence rate
Lost workdays illness incidence rate
Lost workdays injury and illness incidence rate
Calculation:
200,000 = 100 full time workers x 40 hours per week x 50 weeks per year
N = the number from the type of incidence rate you are calculating
WH = Total work hours
N x 200,000
__________ = Incidence Rate (Per 100 Full Time Workers)
WH
For example, if N = 2 recordable cases and WH = 100,000
2 x 200,000 / 100,000 work hours = 4.0
Recordable Cases Incidence Rate = 4.0
Experience Modification Rates (EMR)
Experience modification rates are multipliers used in most states’ workers’ compensation
formulas. The rates are based on worker injury/illness loss history over a three year period (the
first three of the last four years) and can drive workers’ compensation insurance costs up or
down depending on the amount of loss that occurred over the three year period. An EMR of 1.0
is considered to be average. An EMR over 1.0 will increase the base premium. An EMR below
1.0 will result in a reduction to the base premium. Contractors should contact their workers’
compensation insurance carriers to obtain current and past EMRs.
Types of Experience Modification Rates:
•
•
•
•
Interstate
Intrastate
Monopolistic State Rate
Dual Rate

purposes only.
Project Hazard Identification Guidelines for
Project Constructors and Contractors
Purpose:
•
To identify complex tasks and potentially hazardous tasks, and inform all contractors
and other affected project personnel about them.
Procedure:
•
Evaluate project schedules, site assessments, building information models, project
specifications and/or any other documents that could help identify complex tasks and
potentially hazardous tasks.
•
Determine which tasks are likely to present a substantial probability of death, serious
physical harm or significant impairment to health without appropriate safety and
health protective measures such as tasks that could result in one or more of the
following:
--``,`,``,``,`,````,``,,`,,,`,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
-
•
(Project Constructors Only) Determine which of those tasks will require:
-
•
A worker falling 6 feet or more to a lower level.
A worker being struck by an object.
A worker being caught in an excavation cave-in.
A worker being exposed to energized electrical conductors or circuit parts.
A worker being overexposed to a significant health hazard.
Typical tasks becoming non-typical due to unexpected occurrences such as
equipment breakdowns, weather conditions, changes in the project specific
safety plan, etc.
Other significant ways a worker could be injured on a particular project.
Individuals with specialized competencies such as those provided by a registered
professional engineer, a specialized occupational safety and health professional
or an industrial hygienist.
A specialized contractor.
A specialized work crew.
Craft labor skills beyond the standard skills required for the specified craft.
Generate a project hazard identification report to share with all contractors and other
affected project personnel by listing the tasks that meet the criteria established in the
preceding two major bullets above. Provide a detailed, written description of each of
them including the anticipated hazards.

Determine whether a permit, such as a confined space entry permit or hot work
permit, is necessary for craft labor protection.
•
Identify construction methods and/or control measures to eliminate or control the
risks.
•
Identify the safety and health equipment and materials needed to perform the task
safely.
•
Establish safe task procedures.
•
Provide task specific safety and health training for all affected craft labor.
•
Ensure the availability of safety and health equipment needed for the task.
•
Ensure a qualified safety professional or competent person participates when a
complex task is involved.
•
Determine whether emergency rescue planning is necessary.
•
Perform a pre-task briefing immediately prior to the start of the task to remind
affected craft labor about the hazards and established safe task procedures.
Task Hazard Analysis Procedures:
1.
Refer to list of complex tasks and/or potentially hazard tasks that will affect workers on
the project.
2.
Break each task down into specific steps and record them as follows:

3.
4.
•
Record enough steps to accurately identify the potential hazards, but record the
fewest number of steps possible.
•
Number each step in the sequence in which it will occur.
•
Anticipate and record everything workers must do to successfully complete the task.
•
Record any anticipated deviations from standard operating procedures.
•
While recording the steps, describe the beginning of each individual step with an
action verb such as “climbs the ladder” or “enters the confined space”.
•
Include the workers who will be performing the task in the process so important steps
are not omitted.
Using the information recorded from breaking the task down into steps, identify and
record all procedure based and environmental hazards by considering several questions
about each individual step such as the following:
•
Could a worker fall 6 feet or more to a lower level?
•
Could a worker be struck by an object?
•
Could a worker get caught up in an excavation cave-in?
•
Could a worker become exposed to an energized electrical conductor?
•
Could a worker become overexposed to a harmful chemical, harmful noise level or
some other health related hazard?
•
Has a typical task become non-typical due to unexpected occurrences, such as an
equipment breakdown, weather conditions, changes in the project specific safety
plan, etc.?
Develop and record a safe work procedure for each task by:
•
Identifying the best way to perform the task safely and effectively.
•
Identifying a way to change the physical conditions of the task.
•
Identifying an effective way to change the work procedure.
•
Identifying a way to reduce the frequency of exposure.
5.
Include each affected worker in the safe work procedure development process.
6.
Where unusual or unfamiliar steps are required to complete a task, train each affected
worker how to perform the task safely and efficiently. Ensure workers have a thorough
understanding about the safe work procedures developed for the task.

7.
Just before the task begins, bring all affected workers and supervisors together for a pretask briefing to:
•
Review the hazards identified in the task hazard analysis.
•
Review the established safe work procedures.
•
Determine whether any changes to the procedures are needed due to changes in
scheduling, weather conditions or any other pertinent factors.
•
Account for all of the necessary tools and/or equipment established in the
procedures.
•
Account for all of the necessary personal protective equipment established in the
procedures.
•
Provide each affected worker with a sign-off sheet that indicates they know the
hazards associated with the task, and understand how they are to protect
themselves from the hazards.
•
Collect and file the signed sign-off sheets.
