Due to the volume of waste generated and the operational requirements of these facilities, collections must occur three (3) times per week to prevent accumulation, maintain hygiene standards, and support the continuous use of the properties for official business.

Regular trash collection is critical to:

• Maintain sanitary conditions and prevent health hazards

The Contractor shall submit a plan for safety measures to be taken regarding hazardous and toxic products (storage, handling, application, and disposal) and an emergency plan. This safety measures and emergency plan shall be updated in accordance with both U.S. and local health and safe regulations, as well as whenever the COR considers it necessary.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all workers prioritize safety in waste collection by using personal protective equipment (PPE). They must provide sturdy gloves to protect hands from sharp objects, cuts, and chemicals, as well as safety goggles or visors to shield eyes from dust and debris.

Furthermore, non-compliance could jeopardize the health and safety of workers, potentially leading to additional sanctions and the possible suspension of activities until a safe work environment that complies with current regulations is ensured.
