The Prime Contractor is required to include provisions protecting workers from heat-related and cold-related illnesses, with specific provisions for extreme heat conditions when temperatures or heat index exceed 90 degrees, including acclimatization measures, water availability, rest periods, and shade provisions. During extended periods of adverse weather, the Prime Contractor must provide accommodations as deemed necessary to maintain worker safety.
