D E S C R I P T I O N

Hosler Corp. is a locally-owned mechanical contractor that has established our reputation

as one of the most reliable firms. Since our founding in 2010, Hosler Corp. has earned

recognition throughout the industry. We started as a subcontractor on single, large scale,

sheet metal projects and have progressed into a prime contractor for multiple, concurrent,

full scope projects.

M I S S I O N S T A T E M E N T

Our mission is to be the preeminent mechanical contractor in the area by providing the

highest quality product at the best value while constantly improving the efficiency of

manufacturing and installation. We strive to add value for our clients through innovation,

integrity, and performance.

C A P A B I L I T I E S

Our installers and fabricators have decades of experience in a wide range of facility

types. From industrial building mechanical systems and custom machinery components to the

extra care needed for hospital ERs, Hosler Corp. has the expertise you require. We

specialize in sheet metal and piping installation, metal fabrication, refrigeration and in-

house 3D drawing with design capabilities. A Hosler Corp. developed mobile reporting,

parts ordering, and job tracking system increases our productivity and lowers costs. This

allows Hosler Corp. to be one of the most competitive companies in the industry.

E X E C U T I O N

Hosler Corp.’s approach is one of long-term efficiency. Our workforce is hand-selected

and trained in our methods and ideals. By focusing our efforts before we are on site, we

all but eliminate coordination issues, schedule delays and the need for trade stacking.

Concentrating on efficiency, we complete projects on time and at a better value.

F U T U R E

Hosler Corp. is continuously improving our production and installation process. We pride

ourselves on our forward thinking, technologically advanced attitude. Continual growth is

driving us to expand to better serve our customers.

Hosler Enterprise – Piping Subcontractor

The President of Hosler Enterprise, Philip Hosler, is the brother of Hosler Corp.’s President,

Douglas Hosler. Hosler Enterprise has successfully completed 10+ projects with Hosler Corp. as

a piping subcontractor and refrigeration specialist. Hosler Enterprise is also subcontracted to

Hosler Corp. for several projects currently under construction.

Accutech Testing – Testing, Adjusting, Balancing (TAB) Subcontractor

Accutech Testing has completed several projects with Hosler Corp. We also have several

projects in work that have not been completed with which Accutech Testing is subcontracted.

Carl E. Rinehimer Excavating

CER Excavating has been successfully used on several construction projects. CER also completed

the excavation and drainage piping for Hosler Corp.’s fabrication shop.

S E R V I C E A N D M A T E R I A L S

Hosler Corp. has been in the HVAC industry for over 7 years. We are experienced with

installing HVAC systems in commercial, industrial, and educational facilities. Hosler Corp. has

successfully installed Energy Recovery Units (ERU), Rooftop Units (RTU), Fan Coils (FCU), and

other similar equipment in several buildings. We have been the prime contractor on many

occasions and utilized many subcontractors to complete buildings on time and on budget.

O C C U P I E D F A C I L I T I E S

Hosler Corp. has successfully operated in facilities that were occupied. We completed HVAC

systems as lead prime contractor on two interstate rest areas that were open for a portion of

the construction. The rest areas required dust barriers for construction while occupied. At

Bloomsburg University, Hosler Corp. added HVAC in portions of the building while it was

occupied with faculty and students. We recently completed a renovation project for the

Federal Trade Commission in Washington D.C. while the building was in use. The FTC project

required care in installation and after hours work to mitigate noise.

L A Y D O W N A R E A A N D D E L I V E R I E S

Hosler Corp. has done several projects at sites with no space for lay down areas. Most

recently, we completed a 6-story residence building with 200,000 lbs. of ductwork at

Bloomsburg University with no on site storage. Deliveries were coordinated with the other

trades to utilize the construction elevator.

Hosler Corp.

C O O R D I N A T I O N

Hosler Corp. has worked with other contractors as a lead prime, prime, and subcontractor. A

positive relationship between contractors has kept our projects on track so there are no delays.

We keep continual contact with other contractors to coordinate our work with theirs.

D G S E X P E R I E N C E

Hosler Corp. has worked with the Pennsylvania Department of General Services on two

occasions. The first was to replace air handlers in a DGS building in Harrisburg prior to E-

Builder. This project introduced us to the Administrative Procedures utilized by DGS. We

also became familiar with DGS’ scheduling requirements and successfully completed the

project per the schedule. The second project is in progress where we were introduced to E-

Builder and easily meeting schedule while following the AP’s.

4 - P I P E E X P E R I E N C E

Most recently, Hosler Corp. completed a project for DGS that replaced air handlers,

added VAVs and duct, and new piping for a 4-pipe HVAC system.

A I R Q U A L I T Y A N D T E M P E R A T U R E

Hosler Corp. has complied with air quality requirements on previous projects. We are

providing temporary heaters at another project currently under way to maintain temperature

as required to complete the construction.

B A C I N T E G R A T I O N

At a DGS facility, Hosler Corp. integrated new air handlers and VAVs into an existing BAC

System. At several projects at Bloomsburg University and Lock Haven University, we have

added equipment and/or entire buildings to existing campus-wide automation systems.

C O M M I S S I O N I N G

Hosler Corp. on several occasions has worked with commissioning agents to provide a

complete, documented HVAC system to the owner.

Re: Project Experience and References

Lock Haven University, Parsons Union Building, Lock Haven, PA

The Parsons Union Building project was a refurbishment of the University book store and common area.

Hosler Corp., as the HVAC prime contractor, was responsible for the demolition of two existing air

handlers, corresponding duct and piping, and original HVAC control system. We poured new concrete

pads with steel structural supports for two new 4-pipe air handlers. Hosler Corp. added eight new

variable air volume control boxes (VAVs) and new duct through the existing building and into the new

building addition. We added duct mounted hydronic reheat coils to existing duct systems and fin-tube

radiator throughout the building. The building’s existing pneumatic HVAC control system was

decommissioned and a new digital direct control system (DDC) was added and tied into the University’s

existing BAC system.

Re: EMR

Our elevated EMR was caused by an injury due to a fall by an employee missing the last step

while climbing down a ladder in 2012. The employee thought he was stepping onto the floor, but was

one rung up the ladder. When he stepped back, he lost balance and ended up falling on his side. His tape

measure was attached to his belt and he landed on it, breaking his hip. This matter was taken very

seriously by the company. That the employee was the father of the owner of Hosler Corp. only added to

the effort to prevent any future accidents. This has been the only major incident since Hosler Corp.’s

founding in 2010.

Since this accident, Hosler Corp. has taken steps to inform and train our employees of possible

jobsite dangers. We have created and implemented a comprehensive Safety & Health Plan. Our weekly

jobsite meetings include safety as a key discussion point. Our employees have access and are required to

use all applicable personal protection equipment.

The only other minor incident was an employee cutting his finger on a sheet metal shear in 2015.

This incident did not result in any serious injury or lost days.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN

This Project Management Plan (PMP) will describe the general responsibilities of the Project Team. In

addition to the PMP several plans will be developed and implemented to ensure compliance with this

PMP as well as State and Federal policy. The specific plans will include processes, flow diagrams,

responsibility matrices, organizational charts, and other pertinent information to guide the project staff.

The intended audience of the Bloomsburg University Student Recreational Center PMP is all project

stakeholders including the project sponsor, senior leadership and the project team.

2 SUMMARY OF PROJECT CHARTER


significant risks and mitigation strategies associated with the Project.

3 SCOPE MANAGEMENT

3.1 WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

Project schedules will be created starting with the deliverables identified in the project’s Work Breakdown

Structure (WBS). Activity definition will identify the specific work packages which must be performed to

complete each deliverable. Activity sequencing will be used to determine the order of work packages and

assign relationships between project activities. Activity duration estimating will be used to calculate the

number of work periods required to complete work packages. Resource estimating will be used to assign

resources to work packages in order to complete schedule development.

3.2 CHANGE CONTROL MANAGEMENT

If any member of the project team determines that a change to the schedule is necessary, the project manager

and team will meet to review and evaluate the change. The project manager and project team must

determine which tasks will be impacted, variance as a result of the potential change, and any alternatives or

variance resolution activities they may employ to see how they would affect the scope, schedule, and

resources. If, after this evaluation is complete, the project manager determines that any change will exceed

the established boundary conditions, then a schedule change request must be submitted.

4 SCHEDULE/TIME MANAGEMENT

The project schedule will be reviewed and updated as necessary on a bi-weekly basis with actual start,

actual finish, and completion percentages which will be provided by task owners.

The project manager is responsible for holding bi-weekly schedule updates/reviews; determining impacts

of schedule variances; submitting schedule change requests; and reporting schedule status in accordance

with the project’s communications plan.

The project team is responsible for participating in bi-weekly schedule updates/reviews; communicating

any changes to actual start/finish dates to the project manager; and participating in schedule variance

resolution activities as needed.


5

The project sponsor will maintain awareness of the project schedule status and review/approve any schedule

change requests submitted by the project manager.

4.1 MILESTONES

5 COST/BUDGET MANAGEMENT

Costs will be compared to budget on a monthly basis. Analysis and reports will discuss current and projected

costs and monthly payment requirements to assist in bond sales planning.

6 QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Project Team Quality goal is for the Work to conform to project requirements without adverse effect

on schedule milestone. Hosler Corp. will assume the primary responsibility for the overall quality of the

Work under the oversight of Department of General Services. Hosler Corp. will perform the Quality

Assurance (QA)/Quality Control (QC) functions on the project. Hosler Corp. will develop and submit a

Quality Management Plan (QMP) that will describe how the Design-Builder will provide QA and QC for

design and construction of the Project. See Appendix 4 for the design-build Quality Management Plan.

The QMP provides the overall policies, organizational responsibilities, procedures, and the means of

ensuring that all items of work are in conformance with the contract. It also describes the review and checks

that will be performed on the design for the project components, and the inspection and tests that will be

performed on construction materials and workmanship to ensure the overall quality of the constructed

project. The QMP describes and defines participant roles; quality review responsibilities and activities;


6

quality requirements for design/construction integration; the specific quality measures and application

instructions; and necessary quality control (QC) documentation and verifications to which technical reports,

project documents, design drawings, and construction documentation must comply.

7 RISK MANAGEMENT

The Project Management, in conjunction with other team members, will continuously evaluate project risk.

A process for evaluation, tracking, and reporting potential risk will be developed and will include tools to

assist in analysis of short term and long term impacts.

Providing current information to program staff is critical to ensure risk issues take into account the follow-

on phases of construction and not just those events that affect this project.

7.1 RISK LOG

See Appendix D for the Risk Log.

8 ISSUE MANAGEMENT

The Issue Management Plan defines the approach for the identification, analysis, and management of

project issues. It describes the process for addressing project issues. Issues arise from such things as

unmediated disputes, unaddressed concerns, or decisions that remain unresolved. They occur in all phases

of the project lifecycle and can have severe impacts to the project if not taken care properly.

8.1 ISSUE LOG

See Appendix E for the Issue Log.

9 PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT

Items will be release for production upon receipt of approved submittal.

10 COMPLIANCE RELATED PLANNING

HOSLER CORP.

EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN

1. EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN

1. Hosler Corp. has developed an EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND

HEALTH PLAN that meets the OSHA safety and healthy requirements for all employees.

2. Hosler Corp. wants to emphasize that our employee’s safety and health is uppermost in the minds of management, supervisors.

3. We want to emphasize that injury prevention is the responsibility of everyone, and all employees will become thoroughly knowledgeable with and observe all safety practices. Your cooperation in accident prevention will mean that your employment with Hosler Corp. will be safe.

4. Hosler Corp. Management requests your cooperation in preventing accidents.

5. Safety is not the sole responsibility of management, the supervisor, the experienced employee, or the new employee alone; it is the responsibility of every employee, every minute of the day or night whether at work, at home, or on the highway. Safety is an employee’s continuous responsibility.

6. Employees will know and understand the general safety rules that are

written in the EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN and the specific safety rules pertaining to Hosler Corp.’s facility and particular job.

7. Employees are expected to use proper care in their work for their own sake and the sake of employees working with or near them. If you’re fellow worker is careless and performs his or her work improperly, call their attention to it. If he or she persists, report it to your supervisor.

3



8. Safety can only be accomplished with the complete cooperation of all employees.

9. Because we are engaged in many diverse activities, some work assignments require special protective equipment.

10. Ask Hosler Corp.’s supervisor what safety equipment and measures are necessary for your assignment.

11. Be watchful for the safety of visitors, contractors, and new employees.

12. Contractors and visitors will comply with all Hosler Corp. rules and regulations. Report any conflicts to your supervisor.

13. Good housekeeping reflects your interest in your surroundings. A clean operation is usually a safe operation.

14. Hosler Corp. employees are responsible for their immediate environment and each employee is responsible for sharing in the cleanliness of their work areas. Do your part to keep your area clean.

2. REPORTING INJURIES AND ILLNESSES

1. If you see any condition, practices or methods of working in your area that looks dangerous to you, report it to your supervisor immediately.

2. If you observe conditions of great or unusual hazards with which you are not familiar, obtain proper instructions from your supervisor before you proceed.

3. If you feel ill or if you believe that someone working with you is ill, report it to your supervisor immediately.

4. The supervisor will know the appropriate action to take.

4



5. You have the responsibility for reporting a work injury on the day it happens or on the first day you are aware that you have been injured.

6. Immediately report all injuries to your supervisor no matter how slight. (Immediately is interpreted as no more than one hour after the injury.) Infections will develop quickly even from a minor cut. Prompt medical treatment will be provided.

7. Hosler Corp. employee has the same responsibility to report any property damage immediately to their supervisor.

3. ACCIDENT AND INJURY REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION

All employees will keep in mind the purpose of accident investigation is to find the cause of the accident and to make recommendations to prevent future occurrences, not to assign blame. The investigation will focus on causes and hazards. The analysis of what happened, and why, is aimed at prevention of future occurrences.

A. Injury and Illness: Hosler Corp.’s Safety and Health Manager will be notified immediately of any occurrence of occupational serious injuries to staff, contracted personnel or private persons injured on the premises. Minor injuries or accidents can be reported through electronic mail or voice mail during regular work hours.

Upon notification Hosler Corp.’s Safety and Health Manager will:

1. Investigate the incident by site visit, interviews and any other means

necessary to establish the facts of the situation.

2. All work connected accidents, even though not resulting in injury or illness to the employee will be reported to the Safety and Health Manager.

5



3. All work-connected accidents resulting in injury or illness, however minor, will be reported by the employee to the Safety and Health Manager.

4. The Safety and Health Manager will investigate all work connected injuries or illnesses that require treatment by a physician. The causative factors will be determined, and practicable measures will be put into place to abate the identified hazard.

B. Accidents: The majority of accidents do not cause injury or illness but result in property damage and/or lost time. These mishaps usually indicate an unsafe act, faulty procedure or a hidden hazard. Hosler Corp.’s Safety and Health Manager as necessary usually conducts investigation of these occurrences.

4. HANDLING EMERGENCIES

How an employee reacts to an emergency depends on who is involved, the extent of personal and property damage (or threat of damage), and the employee training. The employee won't know how you will react until there is a real emergency. Report any hazardous conditions immediately. - CALL 911 Every employee will know Hosler Corp.’s EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. Every employee will know the location of all fire alarms; fire exists, and fire extinguishers. All employees will know the proper use and locations of fire fighting and first aid equipment.

In the event of Hosler Corp.’s emergency:

1. Employees will assess the situation. An appointed employee will sound

the alarm in order to warn affected or potentially affected co-workers of the emergency situation.

2. Employees will follow the emergency action plan and participate in the appropriate responses as dictated by the emergency situation.

6



3. Employees will NOT enter an area where they do not know the defined escape procedures and refuge areas.

4. Employees will know and follow the on-the-job emergency shutdown

procedures.

1. Practice controlling your emotions. This is not easy but you can do much to increase this control when you convince yourself you might save a life.

2. Spend some time and thought on how you would handle different kinds of emergencies. It will surprise you when an emergency arises how much of your self-training will apply to any situation.

3. Tell yourself over and over to stop long enough to understand what needs to be done. Just doing "something" is not enough. You will do the right thing by being prepared.

7. Always walk in designated aisles and keep alert to your environment and where you are going.

8. Use caution where floor mats are used. Floor mats can easily shift and create a potential tripping hazard.

9. Always use handles on drawers, doors, and safes when opening or closing them. Using the handles is easy and it saves a crushed hand or fingers.

10. Use caution when approaching a door that can be opened toward you or against someone else.

17. CUTS AND PUNCTURE PREVENTION

1. Keep scissors, knives, and letter openers in a separate compartment of

your drawer where they can be seen and easily handled.

2. Keep fingers away from the point of operation on such items as staplers, whole punches, and paper cutters. Use these items the right way.

3. Secure the paper cutter with the safety latch when not in use.

4. Use rubber finger guards when working with stacks of paper.

5. Use a sponge or sealing device to moisten stamps and envelopes.

26



6. If you have to clean up broken glass or other sharp objects, sweep up the pieces instead of picking them up by hand. Wrap the glass in paper and mark the contents before throwing in the trash.

7. Hosler Corp. employees use sharps will be monitored. This means any object used or encountered covered that can be reasonably anticipated to penetrate the skin or any other part of the body, and to result in an exposure incident, including, but not limited to, needle devices, scalpels, lancets, broken glass, broken capillary tubes, exposed ends of razors, dental wires and dental knives, and drills.

8. There are sharps disposal containers, needle less systems and sharps with engineered sharps injury protection) that isolate or remove the bloodborne pathogens hazard. All used sharps are to be put into these designated containers.

9. There is personal protective equipment (gloves that can’t be torn, punctured, or cut with the ability to function as a barrier and goggles) that is to be used when the sharps are filled with hazardous fluid and are being used during the working situations.

10. Hosler Corp. has established and maintains a Sharps Injury Log, which is a record of each exposure incident involving a sharp. The exposure incident is recorded on the log within 14 working days of the date the incident.

11. Sharps that not be being used are to be stored by sticking the needles and blades into a large blocks of styro-foam. This will prevent accidental stick accidents. When the employee is finished using to the sharp, the sharp is be disposed in the sharp container.

12. Shearing or breaking of contaminated needles and other contaminated sharps is prohibited.

13. All disposable sharps are prohibited from being reused.

14. Sharps containers are not opened, emptied, or cleaned or in any other manner that would expose any employee to the risk of sharps injury.

27



15. Sharps containers are accessible to personnel and located as close as is feasible to the immediate area where sharps are used or can be reasonably anticipated to be found.

18. FALL PREVENTION

1. Keep file and desk drawers closed when not in use.

2. Keep floors clean. Even something as small as a pencil or paper clip could cause someone to slip and fall.

3. Keep wastebaskets, phone and extension cords out of walkways, as they are serious tripping hazards.

4. Watch your step. Do not read while walking and do not carry bulky objects that obstruct your view.

5. Wipe up wet spots promptly. Carry beverages in covered containers or on

trays to help prevent spills.

6. Wear shoes with moderate heels. They lessen fatigue, as well as give you firmer footing.

7. Be cautious of slack cuffs that are too long, leather heels, and untied shoestrings that can cause a fall.

8. Use chairs property and safely. Do not tilt back in a chair since this often results in overbalancing and a fall. Be sure your chair is behind you before you sit down.

9. Report defective chairs immediately to Hosler Corp.’s supervisor. These can be extremely dangerous, especially for the unsuspecting victim.

10. Do not stand on chairs, desks, or other office furniture. Whenever it is necessary to climb to reach something, a stepladder will be used. Do not accept any substitutes.

28



11. When using a stepladder, be sure the stepladder spreaders are open and the ladder is placed on level ground.

12. Stay off the top two steps of the ladder.

13. Always face the front of the ladder going up or coming down.

14. Move the ladder to the area you need to access. Do not reach and extend out to the side. It's too easy too fall.

15. Always keep one hand free to balance you while ascending, standing, or descending the ladder.

16. There will only be one person on the stepladder at a time. Too much weight can break or weaken the ladder.

17. Always use handrails on stairways, and at entrances.

19. OFFICE EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES

1. Do not use or try to make repairs on any machine that you have not been

trained, instructed, or authorized to use. Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from moving parts of office machines.

2. Report malfunctions or potentially hazardous conditions to Hosler Corporation’s supervisor immediately. Do not try to fix a machine yourself. Meanwhile, to prevent others from using it, put a sign on the machine to indicate that it is out of order and unsafe to use.

3. Be sure all the equipment used by Hosler Corp. is grounded. Normally it is double insulated and has a UL approval.

4. Be alert for frayed wiring, especially near the flex point at the plug or where the cord enters the back of the machine. Beware: exposed wires can shock you or possibly start a fire.

29



5. Watch your clothes when around machinery. Loose sleeves, scarves, long hair, belts, dangling jewelry, ties, and key chains are dangerous around machines with moving parts.

6. Before using office machinery, check the position. Make sure typewriters, duplicators, adding machines, and the like are firmly positioned on the working surface/table.

20. FILE AND STORAGE CABINETS

1. Avoid overloading top file drawers, it can bring the cabinet down on you. Too much weight near the front of a drawer can also cause overbalancing or tip over.

2. Pull out only one file drawer at a time to prevent the cabinet from toppling over. It also prevents bangs on the head or unexpected trips.

3. If unfamiliar with the file cabinet, test the drawers and do not pull them out too far if there is no locking/limit device on them.

4. Close a file drawer immediately if not using it. Close drawers gently and use handles. Fingers can get pinched if you use top or sides of drawers.

5. If any drawers or doors are stuck, do not struggle to open them. That is an easy way to cause a back injury or bring everything down on you. If stuck, call maintenance.

6. Storage shelves and cabinets will be securely bolted to the floor, a sturdy wall and/or each other. Shelves will be in easy reach and not overloaded.

7. All materials will be stored inside cabinets, files, and footlockers.

8. Keep heavy objects at floor level and out of walkways. This includes plants and furniture.

9. Keep combustible materials at least eighteen inches away from appliances like coffee makers, hot plates, space heaters, etc.

30



21. PARKING AREAS

1. Observe all safety signs and markings in the parking areas.

2. Do not run in the parking area.

3. Be especially careful walking on wet sidewalks, or muddy ground.

22. LIFTING AND CARRYING

Mental Lifting: To handle materials safely, lift everything twice! FIRST, lift the load mentally. Plan every step before you do it physically. Even repetitive jobs can be thought through before hand. SECOND, lift with your legs, not your back.

Size up the load: How much does it weigh? How much do you weigh? Give it the heft test to see whether you can lift it - you don't want any surprises. If it feels OK, go ahead and lift it.

Get Help: If the load is too bulky or heavy for you to lift alone get help. Don't hesitate to ask someone else for a hand. A moment's help could save you from days of disability and pain.

Find a Better Way: Sometimes no one else is around to help, or the job is bigger than the two of you. Arrange for mechanical help from a pushcart, hand truck, wheelbarrow, or forklift.

Check the Pathway: Look for obstacles underfoot and overhead, spills, lighting, traffic (people or vehicles), and changes in elevation. Choose a clear route over the flattest surface, even if it takes a little longer.

31



Solve High Load Problems: Lifting from a height above the head can be hazardous. Test the weight by pushing up on the load. Get as close to the load as possible, so it can slide down your body, close to you. Plan to lift down the same way you lift up - the right way.

Solve Repetitive Problems: Don't accept problems as 'the way things are". Recognize them as problems, and decide how you can avoid them in the future. Think through your job tasks. Do you really need to bend and reach so much, or can you think of a smarter way?

Hosler Corp. ‘s PHYSICAL LIFTING PLAN: Be sure to apply proper lifting techniques, whether working alone, as a team, or with the aide of a mechanical helper. Over the years, the effects of poor posture, being overweight, not lifting safely, or simple wear and tear accumulate and can lead to a "problem back".

You can't turn back the clock, but you can stop the cycle of back abuse and prevent injury by learning how your back works and how to lift, stand and sit with your back safely balanced. Protecting your back around the clock is your best insurance against back injury. You are the only one who's around to do it, both on and off the job.

The Results of Lifting: Most back injuries result from improper lifting. According to the principles of biomechanics, the worst lifting situation occurs when the body is extended over the load: the lower back becomes a fulcrum supporting the weight of the body plus the load. Twisting in this position invites injury.

How to Lift Properly: Look around your workplace. How could you reorganize to minimize how much you have to lift and how far you have to carry it? Discuss with your Hosler Corporation’s supervisor and coworkers ways to make lifting easier, and then incorporate these safer methods into your daily routine. Every move you make, on and off the job, depends on your back. So keep you back, and your safety, in mind throughout your day while you sit, stand, lift, or carry.

32



Use your HEAD to SAVE your Back: Hosler Corp. employees will handle materials mentally before you handle them physically.

1. Look at the load. Observe the size and position of the load. Carefully look around for any surrounding hazards. If you have doubts, get help!

2. Keep the load close. Get close to the load and grasp firmly. Don’t hold the load away from your body. Hug it! The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back. Keep your back in its natural alignment as you use your strong leg muscles to lift the load.

3. Grip the load securely. Injuries often occur when loads slip or fall due to an inadequate grip.

4. Face in the direction of the lift. Have your knees bent, tighten abdominal

muscles, take a deep breath and lift correctly. Center the load over your pelvis.

5. Get a firm footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base; point toes out.

6. Bend your knees. Don't bend at the waist. Keep the principles of

leverage in mind. Don't do more work than you have to. Maintain your three natural back curves. Use leg and hip muscles to lift, not your back muscles.

7. Push, don't pull. Use good lifting techniques to load mechanical devices. Bend hip and knees while lifting and keep your back straight.

8. Tighten stomach muscles. Your abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift. Train muscle groups to work together.

9. Lift with your legs. Let your powerful leg muscles do the work of lifting, not your weaker back muscles. Maintain your three natural curves. Keep the weight of the load as close to the body as possible. Hold elbows in close to the body. Put the load down by bending at the hips and knees with your back straight.

33



10. Team lifting. When team lifting, pick one person to call the signals. The leader will direct the team so you all lift together, walk in step, and lower the load together, using the lifting principles shown above.

11. Push rather than Pull. Whenever possible, push rather than pull. Then lift: apply the same lifting techniques in reverse to unload.

12. Clear the Way. Remove any hazards you see - and/or see that they are removed. Wipe up spills. Make sure the area is well lighted. Wait until traffic clears. Then transport the load, setting it down in the proper place.

13. Unload carefully. Set a load down as safely as you lifted it. Plan where you can put down the load. Pick your spot carefully so no one has to move the load again.

14. Keep your back upright. Whether you are lifting or putting down the load, don't add the weight of your body to the load. Avoid twisting; it is a common cause of injury.

15. Conditions. Bring your back and body to work in Hosler Corp. possible condition. Learning to reduce stress, combined with a sensible diet and exercise program, can relieve back pain and start you on the road to a happier, healthier, and more enjoyable lifestyle. Apply the principles of good body mechanics to lifting and material handling situations.

16. Watches for Dangerous Characteristics. Watch for protruding nails, sharp edges and other dangerous characteristics of the object being lifted and carried.

17. Keep Fingers Away. Keep fingers away from pinch points and wear protective gloves.

18. Too Heavy do not Lift . If the load is too heavy do not lift it and get help. If more than one person is carrying the load, allow one person to be the leader. The leader will coordinate carrying and timing of movements. Use available hand trucks and other appropriate equipment to aide in lifting.

34



19. Object is Overhead . If the object is overhead, grip with palms up. Lower the object slowly and keep the object as close to the body as possible. Watch out for any protruding parts on the object.

23. MANAGING REPETITIVE MOTION DISORDERS

Repetitive Motion Disorders result from repeated motion of the same muscle and joint. Injuries are often related to incorrect posture, uneven load carrying, improper tools and excessive reaching. A serious form of Repetitive Motion Disorder is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Carpal Tunnel is a space formed by the wrist bones and ligaments. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a compression of the median nerve that passes through this space in the wrist. This can lead to inflammation and swelling. Pain can show up in the hands, wrists, arms, and neck.

1. Ideal posture includes sitting straight in the chair, muscles relaxed with your body tilted slightly back. Each time you touch a key nerves (“electrical messengers”) tell muscles and tendons in your wrists and hands they’re needed to help you move your fingers. When you work with straight wrists and fingers, these nerves, muscles, and tendons stay realized and comfortable. So, they’re less likely to develop the strains and pains that all will be associated with keyboarding.

a. Obtaining good posture will mean being continually aware of your posture at the keyboard.

b. The goal is to keyboard with straight wrists, relaxed fingers, and straight posture until it becomes second nature.

c. Sit up straight, facing the computer straight on.

d. Hold you head at a slight downward tilt to avoid straining muscles in you neck and head.

e. Keep hands and wrists straight while keyboarding.

f. Touch you keys lightly by keeping your wrists and fingers relaxed.

35



g. Keep your feet flat and pointed toward the workstation.

h. Adjust keyboard tray or desk height so that your wrists and hands are straight while keyboarding.

i. Adjust screen height so that the top of it is at about your eye level.

2. A straight wrist is a level, flat wrist. This position keeps extra pressure of

muscles, tendons, and nerves in your wrist and hand. When you work with straight wrists and fingers, these nerves, muscles, and tendons stay relaxed and comfortable. So, they’re less likely to develop the strains and pains that all will be associated with keyboarding.

3. Adjust your workstation

a. Adjust chair height and seat back so that you can keyboards with straight wrists and hands.

b. Position the keyboard so that your wrists and forearms are straight.

c. A telephone headset helps to keep you head upright and your body straight.

d. A copy stand will be the same height as the screen, to keep you from straining your neck or head.

e. A lower back pad, such as a pillow or rolled-up towel, can help support the lower back.

f. A mouse pad will allow the mouse to float friction free over it, requiring little effort.

4. Releasing tension for your wrists, hand and body.

a. Stretching: Place your hand out in front of you. Then spread your fingers as far apart as possible. Hold for five seconds. Relax. Repeat five times.

36



b. Rotating: Rotate your wrists, keeping your fingers relaxed and your elbows still. First turn your palms up, and then rotate them down. Repeat fine times.

c. Shaking: Let your hands dangle from your wrists. Then shake your hands, first up and down, then sideways. Repeat until tension in your hands is gone.

d. Reaching: Place your arms over your head. With your fingers stretched, reach toward the ceiling. Hold for five seconds and then relax. Repeat five times.

e. Rolling: Using a wide circular motion, roll your head backward. Repeat five times.

f. Shifting: While sitting, move around in your chair. Slouch and slump, look away from the screen, dangle your arms. Repeat as often as necessary.

5. Immediately, report to your supervisor any symptoms such as pain or

soreness in joints, inflammation, lack of flexibility, etc. This will permit work modification or other changes to reduce the potential for repetitive motion disorders.

6. Use regular exercises focused around flexibility and strength to help avoid repetitive motion disorders. If the employee feels susceptible, ask the Safety and Health Manager for help in finding and learning appropriate exercises.

7. Take frequent breaks, a few minutes every hour, when doing a repetitive

motion task. Shake out tight muscles and take a few deep breaths. As appropriate, alternate repetitive motion tasks with other jobs.

8. Change position frequently. This will be accomplished by adjusting posture, seating equipment location, relationships between components such as computer screens, keyboards, etc.

37



9. Avoid working repeatedly on overhead tasks or extremes of reach or strength. Use the correct hand tools for the job. Always be aware of body positioning appropriate for the task.

33. EMPLOYEE SAFETY & HEALTH SUGGESTIONS

Introduction: On occasion, employees will not notify anyone of impending danger or hazards on the job. This will be due to a fear of reprisal, fear of rejection, lack of encouragement by their supervisor, or many other reasons. An informal, and when desired, anonymous method will provide another means for a bashful employee to inform us of important safety information.

Purpose: 1. The "EMPLOYEE SAFETY & HEALTH SUGGESTION FORM" is to be

used by employees to formally report hazards not handled directly by their superior or for the presentation of suggestions, to improve the safety & health of their job.

2. The form is designed to be used to ensure that:

54



a. The employee is provided with a means of reporting a safety or health problem WITHOUT FEAR OF REPRISAL.

b. Feedback is provided to the employee on their suggestions, whether positive or negative.

Procedures:

1. Management will encourage employees to utilize the Safety & Health Suggestion Form at any time they would like to make a safety or health suggestion or observation.

2. Hosler Corp. will make the forms available where employees will easily find them.

3. The location will be readily identifiable and the deposit "boxes" will be made secure so that the completed forms can be collected by the person(s) so designated by the Safety and Health Manager. The forms will be collected daily.

4. If a hazard of imminent danger was to go unnoticed, the potential for a serious accident increases.

5. Any suggestion identifies a condition of imminent danger requires that immediate corrective action be taken.

6. The Safety and Health Manager will review the suggestions. It is important for the Safety and Health Manager to provide a response on the action to be taken. The employee will be thanked for their participation.

55

D E S C R I P T I O N

Hosler Corp. is a locally-owned mechanical contractor that has established our reputation

as one of the most reliable firms. Since our founding in 2010, Hosler Corp. has earned

recognition throughout the industry. We started as a subcontractor on single, large scale,

sheet metal projects and have progressed into a prime contractor for multiple, concurrent,

full scope projects.

M I S S I O N S T A T E M E N T

Our mission is to be the preeminent mechanical contractor in the area by providing the

highest quality product at the best value while constantly improving the efficiency of

manufacturing and installation. We strive to add value for our clients through innovation,

integrity, and performance.

C A P A B I L I T I E S

Our installers and fabricators have decades of experience in a wide range of facility

types. From industrial building mechanical systems and custom machinery components to the

extra care needed for hospital ERs, Hosler Corp. has the expertise you require. We

specialize in sheet metal and piping installation, metal fabrication, refrigeration and in-

house 3D drawing with design capabilities. A Hosler Corp. developed mobile reporting,

parts ordering, and job tracking system increases our productivity and lowers costs. This

allows Hosler Corp. to be one of the most competitive companies in the industry.

E X E C U T I O N

Hosler Corp.’s approach is one of long-term efficiency. Our workforce is hand-selected

and trained in our methods and ideals. By focusing our efforts before we are on site, we

all but eliminate coordination issues, schedule delays and the need for trade stacking.

Concentrating on efficiency, we complete projects on time and at a better value.

F U T U R E

Hosler Corp. is continuously improving our production and installation process. We pride

ourselves on our forward thinking, technologically advanced attitude. Continual growth is

driving us to expand to better serve our customers.

Hosler Corp.

Hosler Enterprise – Piping Subcontractor

The President of Hosler Enterprise, Philip Hosler, is the brother of Hosler Corp.’s President,

Douglas Hosler. Hosler Enterprise has successfully completed 10+ projects with Hosler Corp. as

a piping subcontractor and refrigeration specialist. Hosler Enterprise is also subcontracted to

Hosler Corp. for several projects currently under construction.

Accutech Testing – Testing, Adjusting, Balancing (TAB) Subcontractor

Accutech Testing has completed several projects with Hosler Corp. We also have several

projects in work that have not been completed with which Accutech Testing is subcontracted.

Carl E. Rinehimer Excavating

CER Excavating has been successfully used on several construction projects. CER also completed

the excavation and drainage piping for Hosler Corp.’s fabrication shop.

S E R V I C E A N D M A T E R I A L S

Hosler Corp. has been in the HVAC industry for over 7 years. We are experienced with

installing HVAC systems in commercial, industrial, and educational facilities. Hosler Corp. has

successfully installed Energy Recovery Units (ERU), Rooftop Units (RTU), Fan Coils (FCU), and

other similar equipment in several buildings. We have been the prime contractor on many

occasions and utilized many subcontractors to complete buildings on time and on budget.

O C C U P I E D F A C I L I T I E S

Hosler Corp. has successfully operated in facilities that were occupied. We completed HVAC

systems as lead prime contractor on two interstate rest areas that were open for a portion of

the construction. The rest areas required dust barriers for construction while occupied. At

Bloomsburg University, Hosler Corp. added HVAC in portions of the building while it was

occupied with faculty and students. We recently completed a renovation project for the

Federal Trade Commission in Washington D.C. while the building was in use. The FTC project

required care in installation and after hours work to mitigate noise.

L A Y D O W N A R E A A N D D E L I V E R I E S

Hosler Corp. has done several projects at sites with no space for lay down areas. Most

recently, we completed a 6-story residence building with 200,000 lbs. of ductwork at

Bloomsburg University with no on site storage. Deliveries were coordinated with the other

trades to utilize the construction elevator.

Hosler Corp.

Page 3

C O O R D I N A T I O N

Hosler Corp. has worked with other contractors as a lead prime, prime, and subcontractor. A

positive relationship between contractors has kept our projects on track so there are no delays.

We keep continual contact with other contractors to coordinate our work with theirs.

D G S E X P E R I E N C E

Hosler Corp. has worked with the Pennsylvania Department of General Services on two

occasions. The first was to replace air handlers in a DGS building in Harrisburg prior to E-

Builder. This project introduced us to the Administrative Procedures utilized by DGS. We

also became familiar with DGS’ scheduling requirements and successfully completed the

project per the schedule. The second project is in progress where we were introduced to E-

Builder and easily meeting schedule while following the AP’s.

4 - P I P E E X P E R I E N C E

Most recently, Hosler Corp. completed a project for DGS that replaced air handlers,

added VAVs and duct, and new piping for a 4-pipe HVAC system.

A I R Q U A L I T Y A N D T E M P E R A T U R E

Hosler Corp. has complied with air quality requirements on previous projects. We are

providing temporary heaters at another project currently under way to maintain temperature

as required to complete the construction.

B A C I N T E G R A T I O N

At a DGS facility, Hosler Corp. integrated new air handlers and VAVs into an existing BAC

System. At several projects at Bloomsburg University and Lock Haven University, we have

added equipment and/or entire buildings to existing campus-wide automation systems.

C O M M I S S I O N I N G

Hosler Corp. on several occasions has worked with commissioning agents to provide a

complete, documented HVAC system to the owner.
