This is a NIST Safety Plan Requirements Checklist (Appendix A) for the Solar Lighting Upper Site Replacement contract, completed by Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) Ruben Rodriguez on 2/12/2026.

The checklist establishes mandatory safety requirements that contractors must address in written safety plans before work commences at NIST Boulder Laboratories. All checked items must be included and approved by the government prior to project start. Key written requirements include: Company Health, Safety, and Environmental Policy; Emergency Response Plan; Hazard Communications Policy; Accident Investigation Policy with Root Cause Analysis; and Subcontractor Safety Management. The contractor must comply with OSHA General Duty Clause 5(a)1, 29 CFR 1926 & 1910, USEPA, CDPH&E, NIST Boulder Laboratories Security Office, and the Office of Safety, Health, and Environment. Specific safety areas addressed include PPE and Life Safety (minimum ANSI-approved safety glasses, hardhats, work boots, high visibility shirts/vests, hearing protection, gloves, fall protection, and emergency eyewash); Welding/Cutting/Hot Work with Hot Work Permits; Fire Protection covering flammable and combustible materials; Material Handling with operator training certificates; Tools and Power Equipment with GFCI connections; Fall Protection plans with licensed PE design; Scaffolding and Ladders with daily inspections; Excavation and Trenching requiring utility locates and PE-designed protection for depths exceeding 20 feet; Electrical work per NFPA 70E standards; Confined Space entry with training and air monitoring; Lockout/Tagout procedures; and Toxic and Hazardous Substances per 29 CFR standards and CDPH&E Regulation 8. General safety measures require environmental protection, storm water permits, proper waste disposal, hazard signage, barricades, maintained access/egress, site drawings for material storage, MSDS documentation, and air/noise monitoring when requested. NIST enforces a three-strikes policy for safety violations, with removal from site and badge revocation on the third violation. Site-specific permits required include Impairment, Hot Work, Roof, Excavation, Penetration, Storm water Protection, and Energized Electric Work permits. The document includes an Exchange of Lockout/Tagout Program form (Appendix 12.10.E) requiring energy control procedure exchange between NIST and outside employers before service or maintenance activities begin.
